No, not because spring came early actually the exact opposite....its been ungodly cold all February. Normal temp should be -2C (28F) but this year it's been -23 (-11F), and that's actual temp not with windchill. Oh, and its also snowed 23 of the 26 days.
I've been getting a little stir crazy so cleaned & organized my other den, the basement workroom.....
Main workbench
I'm steaming a couple of brushes at the moment to try to get the knots out. So far not very successful.
Table tools
Mitre & table saws are decent, router table, sander & drill press are OK but I'd like to upgrade the bandsaw to a proper 14"/~7A version. Would love to get a small metal lathe/milling machine.
Wet workbench
No AC power and right next to the sink. Good for wine making & paint cleanup
Tool storage
From top to bottom: couple of nail guns, high voltage/test/electronic tools, cordless/corded hand tools, bunch of parts containers, telecom/datacom and plumbing tools. Rolling chest has the expected sockets/ratchets, chisels, files, drill/driver bits, specialty pliers, dremel, etc.
Misc storage
The white boxes on the right are six FedEx tubes glued together with the tops cut off. Perfect for storing odd pieces of long stock, etc. And free
Paint
The top row of plastic drawers hold brushes, putty knives, etc. and bottom row is sandpaper
Those tracks for hanging stuff on the wall are great.
Where I do any electronics or fine work and also where I can put my fly bench. And yes, that is a picture of Norm Abram on the wall...because why not & who doesn't love Norm
Next project is to get a bunch of 6" knotty pine paneling to give it a more finished look.
