I've gotten to the point where I've got less than two weeks to get everything out of the apartment. This means I've had to start tearing down my workbench and storing all my tools and materials for the haul across town. It's hard to realize just how much stuff you have until you have to put it all into boxes. I was kinda amazed by how many tools I've accumulated and by how often I use almost all of them. Guess I never realized how deep I am into this hobby.
Here's what the workbench looked like a few hours ago:
Not the best photography (The lighting in that room
is terrible) but you can plainly see a big pile of stuff
and tools neatly hung on the pegboard
And here's what it looks like now:
There's still quite a pile, but you will notice the tools
are gone!
Yes, I've had to box the tools. I tried to be as organized as possible, but I don't have an ideal toolbox system- that is, I don't really have a system at all. I do have all the random toolboxes I've purchased over the years, though so I had to make that work. Here are a few photos:
Drafting tools. Gotta have a well made plan to have
a well made thing
Standard tool drawer. You know, files, screwdrivers,
lockpicks... basic stuff
Cutting tools and glues. So many kinds of glue
and I use them all. That's crazy.
Other stuff that doesn't fit a category
I call this my "Finishing Box". It has all my paint,
polyurethane, rub-'n-buff, and tools to get the finish
just right
Tape, sandpaper, dremels, and PPE.
Like I said, I have a lot of stuff. It is kinda a sad thing to pack it all away, really, but I am glad it gave me the chance to re-organize things. Hopefully it won't be too long before we are unpacked and back in action!
I have no idea how to effectively sort and sore various grits of sandpaper. If anyone has any ideas on that, leave me a comment or something.
