Bron at work

I’m sure a bunch of you while reading my blog ask yourselves the question… does Bron ever actually work? Well here you go. For once I got fotos of myselft in action. Mid January I taught my artisan group about “5S” a work place and design technique. I taught ‘em all I knew then we spent the day Sorting, Seting in Order, Shining, Standardizing, and talking about how we were going to Sustain. It was actually pretty cool because a lot of the artisans participated and were shocked with the changes we were able to make.

We threw out millions of unnecessary papers (which later we burnt), rearranged a bunch of equipment, and now we have a clean organized workshop complete with a table and chairs where we can have future meetings.

Unfortunately we don’t have a recycling program in my town so instead they decided to burn the old paperwork we got rid of. It was late in the day and they just wanted to get finished up. In their hastiness, they didn’t stop to check to see that it was only paper they were burning. Within minutes, horrible fumes drifted their way into the workshop. There must have been some kind of plastic in there and lighting the fire with petroleum sure didn’t help the cause.
