First Build since the accident

Well, the neck is a little sore (ok, its a lot sore, but don't tell my wife...) but I put this together today. Not really a hard build, just a lot, a lot o' parts...

Silly Video:


Hollywood, you will have to re-learn where the tools are in the garage, I should be able to get rid of the pile on top of the tool bench too.

FrankenOtter, the OCD will soon be better...

The lid on the cooler didn't move.

Glad to see idle hands are not an issue.........

I could use some help here in SW Va, if you are lookin' for somethin' to do.....

Fun Update!

I second Steve's comment/request. When the garage is done there is the Mustang.....

Steve - Good to hear you're getting your mojo back.

Tim - Ahh but the cooler did move (at least the cooler lid). More importantly the hammer really didn't move either, other then to re-position from the floor to the bench top and then again as the shelves started stacking up.

Steve & Greg; I would love to come work on your projects, but then there is that whole work thing. For whatever reason we had MLK Day off at Motorola, so seemed like a perfect time to get this project done.

Pete - dang man, that set up is nicer then a lot of kitchens I have seen! Some day when I build a standalone shop and get out of the garage, I will have to come back to these pics. Sounds like you are needing some inventory management software to meet you needs - GREAT idea!

You can and I would have to learn!

Pete's got his flex four and utility boat to work on seems like skutsch needs a project to break that new bench in...

I'm thinking that you guys are in big trouble if the F12 key breaks.
As to the label maker we had a manager who on one of the guy's last day before retiring made him go thru his truck and label what was in all the bins. We all had a laugh when we looked in after he left,the bins were labeled Telephone Stuff,and more Telephone Stuff

Seems to me pi$$ing a guy off on his last day and then handing him a label maker is just a bad idea. I can imagine what some of those labels said.

Pete
Why not totally automate, put those little RFID stickers on all your stuff (and one to identify you in the pocket of your monogrammed button-up and then build yourself a voice activated garage-bot to fetch whatever you need. It would be just like having a kid, without the goofing off, bent props, and college tuition. Name it the KRU (Kid Replacement Unit).

That's another thread that blows my mind. You truely are a man with amazing craftmanship!

I can't wait to get over there once the tools are organized. I'm going to move one tool from each drawer to a different (non-related) drawer.

I can wait. I'm afraid this might turn out to be a bigger version of Quinners tool box

I know it did Pete! I was never there, but, I know of the place. My wife tells me I can't hang around in places like that:).
