The Workshop (2009-2011)
Intro: The Workshop (2009-2011)
My 10' x 60' Hobbie Workspace. I'm just south of Seattle, about 5 miles from the old Boeing Surplus store (may it rest in peace). All play, no work. I'm lucky enough to have a family business that I can share space with.
What may seam like a small fortune in tools actually cost me very little. Craigslist, eBay, pawnshops, garage sales, Goodwill, HF and dumpsters are awesome places to get cheap-ass tools. For instance, my scroll saw cost me $10 at the pawn shop. I tried not to laugh as I was walking out of the store.

Throw away trash, put away tool boxes, hang the pegboard tools, and organize the leftover hardware/materials, repeat every couple days.

If I had that kind of room to add peg boards I think i would have it made. but right now where I'm living I'm using the dinning room as my craft area so I have a large window on one wall, a blank wall behind me and two open areas, so I'm limited to no hanging room space. Pretty much it's a 8 x 8 box. The dream to have a bigger work area...I asked santa but he didn't listen...lolol. anyway thanks for the reply, sorry mine was so late.

I've quite a bit more stashed away here and there but lets not get carried away huh? Mostly I get my tools the same way sensoryhouse does, I've just been at it longer is all.

sensoryhouse has everything… at least in triplicate !!!…
even the space …
how can I convince you to visit me with a modest cargo of you less used tools along with some of your space and help me create my own work sop which will be 4sq meters at the most !!!…
sensoryhouse you don't know how lucky you are !!!…

How do you manage to keep everything in it's place when you're working on a project? If this was my workshop, things would be messy...

Having lots of labeled drawings and containers really helps too. Oh, and being a little OCD doesn't hurt either, haha.
