[General] Tools at the shop

I plan to be around the shop this weekend and plan to get seriously
OCD in the tool area. Over the past few weeks, I've been placing tools
back in that area when I find them and are pretty sure they are shop
tools, or at least are on perma-loan, but I now need a little help.

If you have tools at the shop that are yours and are NOT perma-loaned
to the shop, please secure them *inside* your rubbermaid container or
similar and make sure the box on the member shelves and preferably
labeled.  I won't go into the member's box area, but everywhere else I
find a tool or tool set that's not in the tool area, it's getting
moved there.

Hand tools will be MARKED WITH PAINT to indicate they are MakeShop
tools, and I may even do that on the peg boards so people know where
to put them back by the paint shadows.

Exceptions will include electronics tools and crafting tools, which
will get their own small tool sections.

I believe most of the power tools at the shop are on perma-loan from
members---I know Phil has brought a some power tools, and there are a
few power tools labeled with initials, but ALL tools not located in
the member shelves, or isolated and labeled, are going to find a home
in the tool area soon.  I'll probably also start a register of all
major tools, toolsets and their owners so we can better keep track of
them.
