I am getting close to finishing one of the biggest automotive projects I’ve ever tackled by myself. I put most tools away and threw down a half a bag of oil dry, so I’m close to the finish line. Getting all this stuff cleaned off and hung back up gave me a special kind of relief and accomplishment. It really made me smile.

I’m still waiting on one more part before I can start the car and make sure I didn’t hamfist everything, but that will be covered in another post.

Congrats! I wish my shop was that organized, but I know what you mean. It seems like every time I have a major project, it ends with a period of thrash-time that results in tools being everywhere because I was so freaking tired at the end. When the tools get put away the following weekend, it is a major relief because then I know where (almost) everything is again. :)

I concur! Organization is good. Just got all my bike tools re-homed this weekend.

That looks just like my work bench, minus the piles of cr@p I have piled up all over...

(You do need a couple of those quik-clamps - I love them, use them all the time to hold stuff, hold stuff together, etc, etc...)
