Coming Together Little At A Time
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2023 9:29 pm
We got a three-day weekend for MLK at work, so Ken and I agreed we would spend the entire weekend in hopes of making a big dent in the disaster all over my desks. I made a list of all the things I wanted/needed a "home" for, so a good chunk of time was spent finding ideas I liked, and thought I could integrate into the cleat system. I spent on average 10 or 11 hours a day Sat and Sun. Even ate my meals out there, thanks to Ken. He would cook supper and bring me my plate, so I could continue the designing and creation of everything. He got into the groove of it as well, creating a few for his side of the shop for some of his tools Sunday. Monday ended up being the only day I didn't get any time out in the shop.
I think my favorite one is the cleat I made for my tablet. Every time I go out to the shop now, I'm taking my tablet, and I set it up. Kinda cool being able to use it for instructions, looking things up, etc. and I can have my desktop free for other things. I need to make a modification to it, but that isn't a priority, since it works as it is right now.
With the exception of the clock (and signs, of course), pretty much everything now on the wall were originally on my desks. I still have to make shelves/cleats for the Dremel bits, router bits and sandpaper discs. Did the cleats for the clamps this afternoon, and I'm still doing minor moving around as I use items. Haven't decided if I'm going to leave the bench cookies on the desk yet...
