Members Rayban Posted March 27, 2009 Members Report Posted March 27, 2009 Lately I have the TV on in the garage to watch some of the tournament basketball games, but that's a hard way to get work done, especially during the last 2 minutes of the game, which can last an hour..... Usually I have the music on just loud enough so that if my wife calls out to me to do something, I can use the excuse that I didn't hear her on account of the music.

Members leatherworklee Posted March 29, 2009 Members Report Posted March 29, 2009 Must have music usually old cowboy or celtic. Native American flutes , drums, chants. Herb Alpert, Dave Brubeck or ???????? whatever. Maybe a pine or fir scented candle across the room and a bottle of Green tea(with lid). Lots and lots of light both natural and electric. Two goose neck lamps on table to eliminate shadows an overhead with 4 bulbs and between two windows. A good friend built me a tool box out of black walnut wood it is about 30 inches long 16 inches wide and 24 inches tall with 2 lift out stamping tool blocks that will hold about 200 tools it has 2 drawers for sewing/ lacing supplies and tools and one for hand tools such as grovers, edgers pliers etc. This sets on a hardwood furniture dolly. So it's lights on , music on ,roll out the tool box open up and go to work. Quote

I've been planning to make a new one and am looking for ideas. Thanks. Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 Now that my new shop is done I can't wait for summer weather! I love working when it's good and warm even hot. As far as listening pleasure, I do a lot while the EIB network is on, other than that my musical tastes are pretty varied. Quote
Members Saddlebag Posted April 15, 2009 Members Report Posted April 15, 2009 My father was particularly fond of classical music and as a wee child I too developed a fondness for it. Growing up I heard his collection so many times it is indelibly etched in my brain. While working in the shop I enjoy the silence - no fridge humming, no micro beeping and definitely no radio or tv. There is an old saying that a low tolerance of unnecessary noice is a sign of high intelligence. Well, I must be a genius if that's the case. Lol. Any time I want music my brain will play the most beautifully orchestrated music to suit whatever I am doing. Quote
