Since I picked up my new lathe, I decided it was time to reorganize my workshop to allow better use of all my tools (and to get the lathe out of the middle of the floor). This is the first time in 4 years that I have done more than minor changes.
Last year I had my right knee replaced and will probably have the other done in the next year, so even tho I am not really old, sometimes I feel like I am. And believe me, today was one of those day. Even tho all my cabinets and tools except the lathe and drill press are on wheels, there is still a lot to moving my jointer, TS, router table, planner, belt sander and drill press around. I spent about 3 hours moving stuff and cleaning up, then spent 2 hours trying to get my lower back, hips and knees to work again. And I still say I am going to do this full time when I retire in 6 years.
I am still not sure if it was the moving of the tools as much as it was cleaning in the cracks and crevices that I normally can't get to ot all the junk that I had to carry out to the garage to get ready for the trash. Or maybe a combination of the 2.
