I don't see order, I just see inflexibility.
To me this is like zip-tieing every inch of your cables into wonderful neatness.
The very next hour after completing that jewel of order I need to add/remove/change something.
- benj111 4y agoI agree. Plus the time spent doing this, is time not spent doing actual things.
- neogodless 4y agoWhoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up. You're saying you don't spend at least 50% of your time building tools so that you are better prepared to spend the other 50% doing actual things?
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI know no other existense.
- walterbell 4y agoIt's more applicable to stable, repeated workflows with varying staff, e.g. on a factory floor.
- __alexs 4y agoThis is why you use Velcro (other brands of hook and loop fastening are available) ties instead.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoThis is why you cable tie every inch into precise neatness as the absolute last stage before the cabinet is closed up and shipped.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI also didn't mean special cases where it's simply not optional and required for vibration or airflow for example. Wiring harnesses inside of machines and finished products do not need to be reconfigured during normal use, and do need to be fully secured. And a server rack even though it needs to change once in a while, also needs all the air it can get. I guess I should have cluttered up the observation with other junk besides the essence, to give examples like your desk or your guitar amps or your random kitchen appliances. Home theater is in a grey area where neatness matters enough to rob from flexibility.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI think my comment already implies that I consider ziptying everything a bad thing and do not recommend it or do it. The point was the comparison. Sillohette cutouts are not reconfigurable like velcro. They are easy to create, and then only changed by destroying, discarding, and creating again.
- neogodless 4y agoThis is what makes a wall of French cleats in your workshop a gem! Now if you have sets of tools, this makes sense. At the first picture, I almost closed the thread. Bundles of Allen wrenches? Too neat. This doesn't apply to my life. But other contributors to the thread would put less strict/bundled sets into place in drawers, and I could appreciate that. I think of how automotive, etc. tools of mine are in a mix of a 4-drawer unit, a portable all-in-one kit, and hopefully nowhere else (but that's not the real world.) But the 4-drawer units, while somewhat "organized", could benefit from this. As long as there's some room for adjustment later...
- Brian_K_White 4y agoThis. Order but reconfigurable order.
