I sweep the visible areas of the floor daily after working; however, methinks it is not legal in this state to have a "clean" blacksmith shop.

I don't so much clean my shop, but throw junk away.

Right now, my shop is piled up with all sorts of stuff, including four treated lumber 4X4s for a non-shop related job for my kids. I'll clean it out soon. I'll HAVE to before I work in it.

As time goes by I think I'm getting better at keeping it respectable. But there's still times you couldn't find a bright orange whosawhatzit in the shop on a bright sunny day
