I've often suggested to my managers that resume's are way
down on the list of useful things to see when considering
a prospective new hire. I've always advised, "Go look at
their workshop."
Here are couple of shots of my downstairs shop. Got
another "hammer-n-tongs" shop in the garage. Right
next to the downstairs shop is the office with all
the computers, printers, copy machine, and closet
that houses the telephone and CAT5 networking hardware.

The second photo illustrates and experiment that I'm
going to refine this summer. The shelves are low cost
products from Sam's. The bins are plastic "shoe boxes"
available about everywhere for about $1. I can't build
a robust drawer/bin for a buck.
The arrangement you see in the picture is not space
efficient but it validated the idea. This summer, I'm
going to have a grandson join me for a few days of
making piles of sawdust (table saw is in upstairs shop)
to build shelves specifically fitted to the shoe-box
bins. My trusty AutoCAD drawing tells me that we'll
fit 190 bins into the wall space presently occupied
by the storage in the photo. I'll publish a picture
of the finished project.
If this works as planned, it will be repeated at
work if and when I get the IR&D facility project launched.
Does anyone else have examples of storage management
solutions for that valuable junque?

She has her 'turf' too. One of the bedrooms upstairs is
where she exercises here gray matter. Some of the telephone
and CAT5 cables route up there. And then there's
the yards. Seems like I rototill a bit more grass every
year to make room for more gardens. Plotting current
trends out into the future says we'll eliminate the
need for a mower by the year 2011.

Many big companies, and a few middle sized ones (that are in the process
of failing) have a 'clean desk' policy. They say that our desks (and
workspaces) are reflections of our minds, to which I say EXACTLY.
Would we rather have a cluttered, messy desk with a lot of substance or
an clean, organized desk devoid of content. Many companies and
individuals value the latter, though there are not as many as there used
to be, since a lot of them are out of business. Nonetheless, it can be
said that they were very neat and orderly as they went bankrupt.

hi all,
an easy, quick, and fairly cheap way to build shelving goes like this;
both ends of plywood shelves are supported by a ''ladder like'' thing you
can build out of 2x4's. one of these ladders must be firmly anchored to a
wall or something. the other ladder should at least be anchored top or
bottom. now put in your shelves , lying on the ''rungs'' of the ladders. the
shelves are about as stiff as wet noodles like this. here's the time and
money saver; cut pieces of 2x4 or even 2x2 the length of the distance
between shelves. start on the floor and slip the pieces of 2x4 between the
shelves going up and keeping each piece over the one below it. as many as
needed to keep your shelves stiff. this is by far the most brainlessly easy
way to make strong shelves. i have rows of them in the storage end of my
basement. bob noffs

Good Evening Bob,
Any dimensions on the thickness of the plywood, quality used and placement of the braces?
Any photos available?
Happy Skies,

Bob,
I built storage space above the garage doors that has proven to be useful. I planned it around 4x8 sheets of plywood and it is very sturdy. As my storage needs diminish, my wife is making good use of the shelves. Photos are at the bottom of this page http://www.rv-8a.net/thebeginning.htm. I have a broken link on the large photos, so if anyone wants more detailed photos, contact me off the list.

hi bob s.
the plywood could be waferboard, i would go 5/8''. the end braces are 2x4. the ''rungs'' i screwed in place for strength. the uprights need only be 2x2 and take up so little room just put them as often as needed to prevent sag. always start on the floor and keep each 2x2 above the one below it. i make shelves 8 foot long. put the 2x2's in as often as needed, depending on the load. anchoring one or both ladders is the key to the shelfs stability.
maybe i can take a few pics in the next few days. your address?
