photos to make yesterday's post make a little more sense

If that can even happen lol


the workbench


the whiteboard
The pen holder is something I built to hold a multi-bit screwdriver. It works fine as that, but turns out it's also perfect for holding whiteboard pens and that's what I need it for here. It's magnetic!


the hanging containers and some bolts
These bolts screw upwards and emerge from the top of the workbench, for use in clamping down the drill press, the vise, and the dremel stand, as needed. I could just screw them out from the bench, insert them from the top and screw downwards, thus not requiring any nuts, but that's a lot slower.

The white plastic jar has the nuts and washers (and some extra bolts due to reasons), the blue one is for small metals recycling.


the most common power tools
All in easy reach, all divided into vertical storage sections. I've never made this kind of storage before but I'm really liking it. It's made out of metal letter sorters that I straightened and re-bent into the right widths, and was much easier to build than I expected.

OMG - that is so nice, neat and organized. I am in awe - and full of envy!

I'm hoping to do something at least somewhat similar - certainly similar in concept - at the big-projects shop. But it's going to be a lot more work getting there, not gonna lie. It's a bigger space, but very awkwardly-shaped.
