An Upgrade to the Workspace
It was time, far past time actually, for an upgrade to my workspace. As I mentioned last week, my bench where I do all of my cutting, drilling and sanding has been made up an air hockey table and a deep freezer. They are both odd heights to work at, and I can’t actually mount the tools to their surface. I had come up with a design last week, but after pricing it out at Home Depot yesterday, it was going to be about twice what I was hoping to spend. I made some changes and picked up the supplies – all said and done the supplies totaled right around $45. With the modifications, I worked up a new design that wouldn’t give me as much space, but would run along almost half of one wall in my garage.
Jack, my 4 year old son, gave me a hand last night cutting and assembling the pieces. It won’t win any beauty contests, but it’s a heck of a lot more comfortable to work at and really expanded my flat workspace. Three feet of the table are left as a flat cutting area for leather work on the left side, and the remaining five feet are devoted to metal and woodwork.
By the way, anybody else ever wish they’d paid closer attention to their dad’s skills when they were younger? My dad seems to be able to build anything, and for some reason I never thought much of that until I started trying to build things!
