        That's more like it! I'm always suspicious when people post pictures of their immaculate benches, with ordered rows of immaculate paint bottles, neatly arrayed tools, and paint brushes all standing to attention! I'd never post overall pictures of my bench - it's....it's.....it's like asking a man what he has in his pockets! :tongue-out3:

          Shocked, totally and utterly shocked. There's space, just there, near the front, unused.

              Dear Mr Race
              A copy of the above photograph has been passed to our legal dept for consideration of possible action. There is evidence that basic bench rights are being ignored. Furthermore a recent report by our scientific research group stated quite clearly that "bench disorganisation and untidiness is directly contributing to global warming". The constant moving things about in order to find a part or modelling tool generates heat which is dispersed into the atmoshere and adversely effects the ozone layer.
              I also feel duty bound to warn you that you can expect a protest demonstration by BUMS (Bench Untidness Matters)
              Yours
              Lorne Mower (CEO TBC UK)

                To be honest my bench is nearly always tidy, I spent the early part of my career working in a laboratory often working with biohazardous materials, so working in a clean and tidy fashion becomes an ingrained habit, "a place for everything and everything in its place" .

                  I try and keep things under control, it works for me. This was mine about two minutes ago, as I left it before me tea.

                    Empty space is wasted space in my book :smiling5:

                        Working in a design office, I always had engine components, reference books, sketch pads, post-its on my desk ( along with two computers! ), it was always cluttered.................... Our CEO was always muttering about 'tidy desk, tidy mind' - I always answered 'empty desk, empty mind', he tried to impose office rules on tidiness.............. We came to a compromise - he'd let me know if we had VIP visitors, and I'd put things away for the duration of the visit..................

                          I love that retort Dave!

                          Being on the fringes of the Autistic Spectrum my mind is a chaotic roller coaster ride, always on the verge of derailing, and I like to think my desk reflects that. Once in a while I'll clear the decks but it very quickly fills with a random selection of everything and anything, and there's always one thing that I have absolutely no idea what it is, nor where it came from! :smiling5:
