Workstation?
As we are moving the temporary "shop" that has been in our former
living room back to the real shop, I keep thinking back to the idea of
setting up a workstation each time you work. I haven't been too
methodic about this, except for the varnishing, and that's easy because
you don't need a lot of stuff. As I keep putting tools away and
spend even more time running around the house trying to find a tool we
need, I'm thinking it's probably worth the extra 5-10 minutes at the
beginning of a project to figure out every tool and supply you might
need and then gather them up. We've got a bunch of projects to get
ready for our big work week next week, so I think I may start a list of
what we may need. I'll start easy with the removal of the bead board
from the porch so we can put the joist track up for heating the bedroom
above it: demolition bar, nipper, hammer, sawzall, garbage cans,
garbage bags, shop vac,, smaller pry bar, some of those little things
to hold the wiring in place, masks, goggles, water bottle, and a
camera. Did I miss anything? How about all of you- do you
set up a workstation before you get started, or do you just grab the
obvious things you need and then run back and forth trying to find the
other items? Or are you like Nick, "Trissa- could you get me the
sawzall"?
