I recently discovered that tidying & reorganising my garage/workshop was a
BIG mistake. I used to know where, amidst the chaos & clutter, everything was.
I can't even find my large extension lead today

The last time I cleaned out my workshop I found a 1947 Fergy tractor I'd forgotten about.

Very possibly the ultimate "lost and found".

I worked on my old car once. Can't recall what the task was but when I came to do another job I could not for the life of me find my Haines manual. Eventually giving up and thinking I had left the book on the garden wall I went out and bought another. They are not cheap these days
When sorting through a spare bedroom near two years later I moved summat and you can guess what was underneath. So now I have two of the said manuals. And now I've even sold the car on!
The one thing about getting to that certain age is I do get to meet and make new friends almost daily

My thread gauges, I turned the place upside down looking for them several months ago with no luck,
Looking for something else last week open my top tool box & there's the thread gauge not even hidden.

Almost as good as searching for my head torch, as it was a bit gloomy I switched on my head torch seeing as I was wearing it

I stripped a manky mk1 Airsporter to have a go at home reblueing, The parts were wrapped in kitchen roll and placed in a carrier bag, At the same time I stripped and refinished the stock...

When the action was reblued and ready for the rebuild there seemed to be the rearsight and loading tap missing, I searched high and low but couldn't find them, I thought they accidentally gone in the bin with dirty kitchen roll that i'd used to clean the parts of grease and oil

Around two years later I went in my box of stock refinishing stuff and guess what I found??!!

The bits were there, On several occasions I saw the partly built action and stock, It got me down so much that I almost put the lot in the bin!

The elation when I found them almost better than the first time I discovered... er... Best not go there!!
