Thank you for all your comments and feedback.

In order to make course more "interesting" and effective, I am posting some picts to visually give you a concrete example of some aspects we discussed in the past class.

Rather than place all picts on same message, I will present some of the key tools alone and discuss their use.

The picture above presents a typical tuning area.

Note the following;
-ample lighting
-old carpet sections on surface ( passed edge by 2" so wax will drip on carpet)
-tools on wall unit
-long long electrical wire for iron ( on floor)
- old carpet on floor ( cannot see on pict)
-tool kit in plastic box in front of skis
-blue roll of paper on left
-fire extinguisher on left wall
-electrical plugs ( in front and sides)

Negative aspects ( Like most I tend to be messy)
-tools all over bench ( try to keep tools in specific place)
-firewood under work area. ( fire hazard if using candles)
-iron (that is cold) should be on ceramic or metal tray NOT on plastic surface.


Hint:
See those holes ( near vices). If you look very carefully you will note they have different sizes. They are functional and very useful!
The first person who can tell me what they are used for will get free set of BOOSTER STRAPS!
