Use the PILE method; a PILE for everything and everything in it's PILE !
Shop organization is a waste of time doing something other than building. the next thing ya know somebody will say they vacuum/clean their shop more than once a YEAR, which is a WASTE !

I clean my shop when it gets too messy to function at a minimal level. Then I start thinking about cleaning for a month or so before doing it. Good 'Nuff !

As far as cleaning it up in the sense of organizing and stowing, my garage gets cluttered enough that I get pi$$ed off stepping over and tripping over things. So I will stop in the middle of a project and spend a couple hours clearing the walkways and re-arranging the shelves. This does double duty as both anger management and safety precaution But I find it hard not to have piles. I can never find a place for everything I have. Not sure if that's a space issue or an organization issue (or OCD), but even after I've cleaned, I have a few piles. Of course, they're neatly stacked after cleaning, but I still have piles Doug .

My "stealth workshop" uses either a 15" X 24" section of the kitchenette counter top for building small rockets (if I don't move the table radio to open up another 10" or so of space on the short side) *or* a ~2.25' X ~7' wood closet door (retrieved from a house that was being demolished) laid across the counter top to serve as a large table for building large rockets (and tissue paper model hot-air balloons). Tools, glues, and finishing supplies are stored in the cabinets below the kitchenette counter top, and the closet door table top is stashed in the walk-in closet when not needed. Draping sheet plastic "drop cloths" over the counter top and using old telephone books as cutting surfaces keep the counter top and the door in pristine condition. When everything is put away, no one would know that model rockets and model hot-air balloons are built there.
