The workshop hits home. One of the decisions I made was to let my workshop grow organically around me based on what I'm doing. I started with a pile of junk tools on an Ikea table in an empty basement. By focusing on just what I needed at the time I ended up with fully equipped metal, wood and coating shops without ever consciously building them. They just sort of happened based on the needs of the next project.
- yial 1y agoThis is overall a pretty good strategy. I’ve done something similar - usually buying tools only when I need them, or when I find something I’ve been thinking about at a great deal used. I do periodically however take time to straighten, arrange, and fix workflow / storage issues. (This became important when I purchased at auction from a hardware store closing down 30+ 3 foot tall of bins of hardware - the exact ones used for display in the store - still filled ).
