Much of the work on the Imperial is on hold while waiting for the power brake booster mentioned in the last post. The next round of planned electrical upgrades are a tight fit to the brake master cylinder, so I’m holding off on that work until the power booster and master cylinder are back in place.
That means now is a good time for some more workshop organization! Getting things off the floor and out of the way is vital. One of the secrets is to put shelves over other things. Large shelves. Multiple shelves.
Which is exactly what I had back before the workshop was gutted for insulation and sheetrock – a set of three shelves over the air compressor. These shelves were not only missing from their mission of providing useful storage, they were sitting on the floor and actually part of the problem!
Time to give them the usual three coats of paint and stick them back up on the wall. Note the triangular corner brace to avoid having a leg going to the floor. This minimizes the impact of the shelves.
This is the only time this corner will be this clean. Shortly after this picture was taken there were things on, under, beside, and around the shelves – just as intended!
