some of the stuff I'm up to or have done recently
workshop.
lately, I have been spending a bit of time organizing my workshop in my garage. I ended up with a bunch of tools from somebody who didnt want them and what started out as "finding a place to put them" ended up in me creating a pretty awesome workspace for myself.
i hung my dremmel rotary tool on the wall within easy reach with its flexable extention on, so all i have to do is grab the wand and turn it on.
yesterday, i took apart an old computer and scavenged the power supply. i mounted that under my workbench and ran some wires in a loom to the top edge of the bench, and into a set of those push button wire holders like on speakers. and a toggle switch to turn it on. i can now test 6 and 12 volt accessories.
on the three walls around my work bench, i have hung all the large tools, hammers, saws, levels etc. next to the bench i have my grinder and polishers. and in a cabinet below that i have my welder. on the wing wall (its just a short outcropping next to the workbench, along with the tools i mounted an "explosion proof switch" that a buddy mailed me. i wired it up to turn on and off my air compressor thats on the other side of the wall with a cabinet above for all the air tools. later, i will post some pics or maybe even a video tour of it.

Wow I am jealous. We can never find any of our tools. Of course we dont have a basement, garage or even water tight shed so stuff goes where we have a place at the time we have a space. In no time that space is usually hidden by some new thing that needs a new place. Love to see pictures of an organized garage.Posted 09-04-2009 at 12:45 AM by Nancy Wett
