Isn't it amazing what you find when having a really good clear out :eeeeek:

Decided after MANY weeks (ok months) that I should really get in my workshop and have a really good clear out / clean up.

Got all the timber in one area now...

Yes I know, but I didn't realise JUST how much was around the workshop :goesred:

Got all the pen blanks sorted out...

Yes, NO idea where all that lot came from BUT I did manage to find a few that I didn't even realise I had :rolling:

"Found" loads of other bits and bobs as well that I had forgotten about.
Should keep my busy for a little while :funny::funny::funny:
