What are you doing today hobbywise?

It has been done!

 

I am not responsible for the lone vote. I went with #5 and #6, although I was tempted by quite a few others.

 

Well, today was a different day for me. I am trying to get organized right now, as I am tired of searching throughout my house for tools when I need to do something hobby-related. So today, the second of two drawer cabinets I ordered arrived and i wasted no time.


We start with this. 4 plastic shoebox bins, 5 sorting trays, and a pile of other tools I pulled out of boxes, my house-repair tool chests in the basement, and from around the house (and off of my worktable).


In the process, I emptied 4 of the shoebox bins, 2 sorting trays, and most of the loose stuff from other areas also got sorted...


Into THESE. 2 IRIS brand drawer cabinets I ordered from Amazon. About 70% of my hobby tools are in there, excluding my Dremel tools (they need a cabinet of their own), my NWSL Chopper (I know it is here, can't find it at the moment), and paintbrushes (those stayed in the sorting tray because I don't want them in this. Yet.

One of those deep drawers is just full of bases for wargaming minis. A whole drawer of them, and when I put them in there I discovered that I ordered a box of 80mm bases... that I already HAD... Oy...

Still to be organized: piles of stripwood, three boxes of mixed sheet, rod, tube, and other formed plastic, and a very heavy bin of mixed brass strip shapes (H-beam, I-beam, L-beam...)

 

I am, by the way, open to suggestions for how to organize the stripwood, strip and sheet plastic, and brass stock, other than just biting the bullet and ordering another drawer cabinet (it might come to that eventually, but I think the cats would be angry if I filled ALL of the space under "their" card table.

 

Update: Bottom drawers: Large tools on the left (also a big tray of precision drill bits marked by size), and hobby clamps/soldering clamps

Second drawer on right: Pliers, tweezers, little reverse-tweezers, cutters.

Third drawers: Mini bases on the left, right drawer is pin vises, drill bits, and miniature drill-taps.

Fourth drawer on right: Screwdrivers, sanding tools, applicator/precision brushes, hobby hones

Fifth Drawers: Glues and specialty model train tools on the left; right drawer is files, hobby knives, sculpting tools, and knife blades.

Top drawers: Left is razor/fret saws, my mini miter box, specialty cutting tools, and tiny hammers. Right is marking tools, markers, and compasses.


Woo organization!!!

(Before anyone says anything, yes, I need to sort out my drawer of bases. I've got a pile of clear ziploc bags in the wings for doing that in the future)

 

Lots of great tools and now neatly organized. Way to go!

 

There is no escape from Chaos. It marks us all.

 

If Chaos thinks to mark me, I shall get such a gaudy tattoo removed with great enthusiasm. None shall brand my flesh!

 

It marks your soul.

 

Then I shall remove the tattoo upon my soul!

...

 

You either fall to Chaos or fall before Chaos.

 

Never played D&D. But as that universe is reliant on ours, it is subject to Chaos as well.
