Spring is coming. We got crushed with a blizzard last weekend.
Looks like a place where things happen!I'll get the ugly one out of the way so nobody feels embarrassed to show theirs.
It doesn't always looks this bad, but it has for a while (too long). Too many projects have gone to die here over the past few months, and with so much other stuff going on, it hasn't been a priority until now. Jangers post about soldering irons lit the flame again to get back on some electrical projects.
This is ground zero for a lot of household repairs, electrical tinkering, and my fishing lure production/painting, which I haven't done in a while. 3d printers live here too, although my little kingroon is up in the kitchen right now because it was easier to keep an eye on up there.
Nice rainy day project today has been to clean up some of the basement clutter today, and start excavating the workbench. You should have seen it BEFORE I took the picture. It's funny, while zooming around the picture on my phone I spotted my test light I was looking for a few months ago lol. See if anybody else can find it, Wheres waldo.
Lets see yours. Don't be shy, it can't get worse than mine, and I know you all have one.
have the roads become gumbo in the day only to freeze with fresh ruts in at night yet?
Only for an hour or 2 in the afternoon and then only the top 1/2 inch or so. Still not warm enough for a real thaw yet.
As in every flat surface needs lots and lots of stuff on it?
Yessir. I'm doing the opposite. I'm getting rid of exposed horizontal surfaces that collect junk. That brings a problem though. That stuff ends up on the nearest HS, and so on.
I purposely posted my messy one to lure you guys into doing the same, and you're going to hang me out to dry like that?. lol I see how it is....
I'm hoping to see a bunch of messy, "lived in" ones, and a few spotless ones littered with perfect organization and a bunch of electronic test equipment that I have no idea what it does.
I've been meaning to move mine to the utility room for 2 years now, but haven't got around to it. It's a bit of a big job and grand plans never get done around here, but small ones, little by little, are much easier to accomplish.
Everybody loves to show off the spotless shops and workbenches but you shouldn't be ashamed of the messy working ones. What's that saying? "Messy loves company" or something like that.....
Nice spot! I like those steel cabinets. I've been keeping a eye out for a set like that for the garage for a few months/year now. Nice shallow ones for behind my entry door. No luck. Found a few similar ones, but they were all too deep.
One of my buddies bought a full set of these at a Sasksurplus auction for like a hundred bucks back when everybody thought computers would mean a paperless office.
That cabinet came from princess auto..... I think I saw it in the flyer the other day..... They seem to have gone up in price since then....
This one?
One of the nice things about these is that you can roll them all together and lock them. It's like a Borg Cube.
