I was going to call this post “how to fix loose stools”, but I realized that sounded like an Immodium commercial or something and came up with a different name. You’re welcome for that.

I confess that I have a tough time keeping my work areas clean. I know the other creative types out there understand. I am a bit of a neat-freak, but when I’m working on a lot of things, I don’t take the time to clean up the workshop. Scraps of wood get tossed on the floor, tools are piled up … Read More
