Ok. This is a spin-off of a thread that Allen in Texas had in the Attachment forum. He had to put up some signs in his shop to get his point across to his son and his friends about "re-stocking" the fridge of beverages after working in his shop. That started a string of posts about shop rules. My opinion is that the open range has it's "unwritten rules" so my thinking is that the work shop should have it's as well. So....lets all add some rules that should be mentioned and not necessarily posted on the wall but are just common courtesy gestures. IE- restocking the fridge, etc.

Let the rules begin!:thumbsup:

You get it out and use it you put it up when you're finished.

Here's another...

just because I do it (whatever "it" may be in my shop) don't necessarily mean you can.

after all, I make love to my wife. Don't mean it's ok for you to do so.

This came about because of a mess someone left in my shop and didn't clean it up. He said, Well, you made a bigger mess than I did. And just so you know, that particular feller ain't allowed in my shop anymore.

If I am gracious enough to borrow you something, do not make me call to get it back.

1) If you pick something up, put it back where it was... not where it goes.

2) At any point in the conversation, I have the right to fire up any power tool I am using. When the tool stops, we pick up the conversation right where we left off. You have the same right.

3) Hold the flashlight so I can see.

4) If you're in the shop, you are expected to be useful. Even if you only came out to ask me where the camera is, you are expected to comply when asked to "hold this for a second", etc.

I'm sure I'll think of more.

If you don't know how to use it: ask!

If you still don't know how to use it: don't!

Aw, just get outta the way; I'll do it, myself!

:laughing::laughing:That's got me written all over it!:thumbsup:


Some more: If you show up at my shop more that twice to use my tools and we're not already bardering then think about giving me some money towards the electric bill.

If the door is closed I'm not open for business neither is the shop.

There's a broom and a trash can for a reason.
