FAMILY="SANSSERIF">My dad was a great one for keeping his shop neat =
and
organized. (I just wish I had inherited some of those organizational =
skills.)
For large tools, hang them on a peg board, and, using adhesive shelf =
paper,
make an outline of the tool where it hangs. This way you can more =
easily
identify the tool, and it has a place to go to when your done using =
it. For
smaller tools, get a set of drawers, and put like tools in each =
drawer, (screw
drivers, pliers, regulating tools, etc.). Be sure to mark each drawer, =
so you
know what's in them. You can do the same thing for parts. Keep =
parts in
a box, and label the box. If the box is too big to fit in a drawer, =
put it on
a shelf, but put a lable on teh box teeling you what's in it. If you =
really
want to be organized, keep the parts in alphabetical order. =
<BR><BR>Now that
your tools and parts are organized, the next step is to get everyone =
to put
tools and parts back where they belong when they get done using them. =
That
will probably be the most difficult job of getting, and keeping, =
organized.
<BR><BR>Hope this helps. <BR><BR>Wim <BR><BR><FONT color=#000000
