Starting the new year with a clean slate — well at least a clean workshop!

01.25.2016 by Cynthia Edmunds //

I am almost finished with the wedding box but I had to show off my clean workshop first.

The clean leather closet.

All cleaning starts in the closet with me.  Here is leather, paper, and beautiful boxes of organization.  And the best part is that some of these boxes are still empty — I have room to grow!

The second closet was a success because I cleaned out Christmas decorations which are now relegated to just one shelf (and most of that is a holiday train).

My workbench. The white spheres on top are humidifiers.

This is my workbench.  The drawer pedestals came from a school surplus sale.  I’m pretty sure they were the student storage for a shop class.  Each cabinet has one locking drawer and one locking slot per student.  So I have six keys per unit.  At that rate I could keep things safe from even me!

And the cutting table.  OK, so every nook and cranny is not totally clean, but for now, I’m ready to work!

More workbench and tools.
