Wayne, you must be the tidiest slob I know ... ... when I am working on something, everything around me usually turns into disaster area. This pic shows what my workbench looked like this morning after I worked on my gantry crane last night ... well, that’s quite tidy for me, I can do better than that .
I just happened to notice this thread this morning, and I just took a picture of my work area, as part of a thread on another forum. So, here is my work area, and my current "project", USS Kodiak NCC-6000.
I do have a work bench in the basement, where all the "machine tools" reside. I do have to fight off the spiders, to get to the drill press, and lathe, as most of my work is with hand tools.
This is the same work area, in a much cleaner state:
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
Here is my shop at home... well the one for model railroading, RC and for music anyway.... doesnt include my other shop in the garage with all the big tools where my son works on all his smelly nitro cars Sawdust sticks to Nitro fuel residue really well!
mine is either in the living room in front of the teevee, on the back patio, the kitchen table, or this small detached workshop by my carport. It's a mess right now, because I haven't yet cleaned up after some extensive auto repair.

Here is my work place, right in my layout room and almost enclosed by the layout.
(Spray painting isn't done here - for this I go to the garage. BTW: It isn't a bad idea to take the car out of the garage before painting! :mrgreen: )
The third, somewhat older pic shows the more normal status of my workspace: Looking like the world before creation of the chaos!

Here is mine . It is pretty simple and was a gift from a club member to me after his passing. I actually got it loaded with tools (even though I had most).
It is nice as I think of him smiling down on me every time I approch it as well as his expertice rubbing off.
Not a mess.......organized chaos
If it was nice and neat, we couldn't find anything.
My theory...And its only a theory.....The pics of the ones that are nice an tidy, were cleaned up before the pic was taken(good reason to clean it I guess)

I went to my Happy Place, but it was closed for renovations.
Neat and Clean;
Yes My area is neat and clean,if there is one thing my pop taught me it was when your finished put your tools away and clean up OR ELSE.Didn't ever want to find out what the or else was,so I just make it a habit of keeping the area clean,besides if the 6'2" redhead comes down and finds it a mess you guys don't have to live with her.
