solarbirdMy other accomplishment today was measuring the old garden chest that I'm using as half my workspace desktop and realising I could rotate it and not lose meaningful surface space - like, only a cm or so - and have the top lid function as a door that opens down, in the front, so I could use the inside of the chest for storage.
I'm going to put a supporting bar inside the chest to strengthen up the new top a bit more - I mean, it's the same thickness as the old top, but with one side not really supported. (Even if the other three sides are actually supported better. I'll just add a crossbeam, it'll be fine.)
Anyway this gives me a bunch more storage and I have some scrap lumber that'll work a treat for the job so I should be able to pop that into place tomorrow and it'll be good. ^_^
