My dear husband is helping out by creating a small place for my miniature wood working tools. Now that I have a serious, rolling tool chest/cart, I can load it up with my carving tools, saws, clamps, etc. as well as have space for plans and patterns with space for on-going projects under the fold up door. There are sides with pegboard for hanging often used items and containers for the small stuff.
I have a table scroll saw, a miter saw, a dremel (actually two-one from a yard sale with a tremendous selection of attachments) a router, and the usual small saws, chisels and other essentials for constructing miniature things.
Since I'm also a painter and avid DIYer, I have a huge work bench filled with my paint stuff, shelves filled with other-lesser used, but still needed-equipment, and my workroom which is crammed full of supplies, books, wood, illustration board, foam core, paper products, fabrics, patterns, dolls, paper doll collection, inspiration board, sewing machines, bible study and reference materials, and all my works in progress.
The best part of all of this is my ability to organize what I have, get rid of the stuff I don't want or won't ever use, and work my way through the stuff I am keeping this winter. Leaving me with a huge selection of items for this spring and summer's weekend art show's and sales. These shows/sales are held each weekend in the summer months in Grand Rapids. We have always attended but have never been vendors.
This year we plan to change all that. And with the winter months and my determination to downsize and get out of debt quickly and efficiently, this will be a busy few months.
Or several weeks-which ever way you prefer to say it.
