Handstitched Report post Posted July 19, 2023 It was about time I tidied up my mess of tools. It hasn't been easy lately , so I've been spending a bit more time on here and keeping my mind occupied. Real estate in my workshop is at a prime, so I had to keep it compact . Turned out alright , after stuff up after stuff up.... It was an old souvenir spoon display rack, so I re-purposed it. A new backing was needed . The old wood was a little brittle , it kept breaking, hence stuff ups. I eliminated all the repeated tools , and picked out all the ' most used' tools. Surprised how many repeated tools I have. The remainder will be put into a box. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Reaper Report post Posted July 19, 2023 Yo Handstitched, I had a red cedar horse hitching post that was removed from a garden area, it then sat in my driveway for eight years. I finally made a four-step tool holder out of half the length and the other half is a standing totem pole tool holder, I’ll post pictures later on today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted July 19, 2023 @Handstitched good job. Good thinking re-purposing the spoon rack By coincidence, I just cleared three work tables of odd tools and leather crowding them. No excuses, just laziness. Tools went back into their proper places. Multiples went into a small tool box. Two crafters, 1/2 a world apart, and we do the same job at almost the same time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much time wasted looking for tools. 21 hours ago, fredk said: Two crafters, 1/2 a world apart, and we do the same job at almost the same time Great minds think alike friend 22 hours ago, Doc Reaper said: I’ll post pictures later on today I much prefer to re-use than throw away, even the old rotten back board I might keep....just in case @kgg thank you very much HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
