: I have been a member of the messy shop club occasionally...

Yabbut... My shop space is really really small... I don't even really have to be all that organized 'cause I can see anywhere from anywhere else in the room! The only problems arise when I hide tools in kayak recesses that then get stripped over

: I threw away a bunch of stuff, moved all the other stuff to
: where it belongs, including all the tools not in actual use. What a
: difference!

Hmm. Well, when I get rid of those oil tanks and the furnace and replumb and pour a slab, I'll have to think about doing that Ah, heck, the idea is just to make one little ol' kayak. 'Cause, no one ever builds two, right????

: I'm not opposed to getting the shop dirty.

Oof!

Description of photo:
Hull of a Night Heron, uneven dirt floor - some spaces covered with coal sacks or tarps or sacks of coal, fieldstone walls (they drip when it rains), two big oil tanks in back, the furnace on the right, strips are way up on the left (supported on that 2x4 and the top of the shelves) and on the shelves and on the floor behind the kayak (out of sight). Note the red apron hanging from the plumbing - to remind me not to smack my head every time that I walk by! The tip of the kayak extends far enough that I have to squeeze around it through the hole between the oil tanks. The tail of the kayak extends far enough that I have to contort around it or go up a step of the stairs to get around it.

I don't believe that I will be varnishing it here but I might glass it... How explosive are resin fumes?

Cheers!
