Let there be stuff

last photo ←

My workshop is a large mess of whistles, bells, motors, computers, scanners, fax machines, circuit boards, micro controllers, water pumps, plastic dinosaurs, stuffed animals, scribbles, wires, strings, ropes, screwdrivers, safety gear, water bottles, t-shirts, felt, half-used batteries, speakers, screws, springs, rubber bands, acrylic, phone sockets, PVC, paper, keyboards, keyboards, keyboards and a stuffed bear hat with LED eyes. I think I forgot to list some stuff. What are you looking for? If it can fit comfortably in a two gallon water jug, I probably have it.

Freecycle is almost non-existent here. I'm with you on the PE storage bins though!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing your 'office' and your supplier. I wish I had a room like that, becuase I see at least 7 computers, theater, and recording studio items. Very nice!

Question: How do you keep those water jugs from moving about? They are stacked will, and it looks like a GREAT idea for storage, but the jugs we have around here would not stack well.

Sorry for bumping this ....

I tie them together in pairs of four. I have considered stapling them to the wall, but haven't tried this yet.

Thanks, they look to be a little sturdier then most of the water jugs we have available in my area, though.

It is comforting to know that someone out there keeps more stuff than I do. I'll have to show this to my wife and tell her "see it could be that bad." On the other hand there is some good stuff in there. Really I'm just jealous.

Your is much cleaner. Impressively clean in fact. And it has an equally impressive door cutout guide. I wish I had space for an emergency door guide.

Thats my studio at work - you should see my room, infact, i might put up my workspace, even though i cant win, it would be fun to share - i am in tidy mode atm though! Its a problem when i cant move my chair without running over some motherboard or something.
