Lets See Your Shop!

Started with spreadsheet, then built database, much better but still have not imported the 1500 items on the sheet.

Database makes for good printing of labels, need to generate the report to sort and layout the label and correct printer.

You add 2 checkbooks to the inventory item record.

Label used tells it you MAY need a label.

Label needed tells it to print the label.

We have many different types of boxes and bins which take different sizes.

Different report for each and box type another field.

Pain to setup and get working but once done labels are just a button click or 2.

Used to set up relational databases (about 30 years ago) and found them very useful. Since then I had to rely on functional spreadsheets and the "Find" function (database software for the Mac got 'way too expensive!).

Pretty much finished on the work table. Applied the diluted cold bluing solution to every thing but table top. Sliced, and diced a heavy duty cabinet to make the right and left side drawers, and the middle one is from a metal desk. Made and installed a sliding half drawer for the deep one. Painted all the faces and sides with satin black paint. May still do some pin-striping on the drawers but I need to get a little practice in first. A lot of fiddling around with mounting, and getting everything lined up. Used 1" angle on the sides of the two end pieces, and welded them to the table frame. I had some heavy duty ball bearing slides with their own mounting rails, so with some 3/16" strap risers for the middle drawer, those also got welded in. Very solid and the drawers work very smoothly. Temporarily used some 5/8 OSB for the bottom shelf, until I run across the piece of metal to replace it. The whole table is pretty much recycled materials, and no animals were harmed during it's construction. Time to put it to work in the welding shop. Not as a welding table, but for general purpose work. Sure it won't take long to fill the drawers, and clutter up the top. Mike

Had meant to put this in the Today's project thread. The mind, or what's left of it appears to be going. Will try to move it over there. Mike

I hope my mind goes where yours went so I can make me a work table like that.

Haven't posted in awhile but I have been busy. We bought 2.55 acres, built a new house with a dedicated workshop.
I've been site constrained so long, I actually don't have much but I'm sure I'll accumulate plenty more tools now that I have room again.

So far Ive been plenty busy with house, yard and OCD projects but I'm tooling up to build some Disc Golf Baskets next so I can set up a small course on the property.

Awesome!!
That is one beautiful shop.

 

[woodchucker]

so I can see where you are going with that OCD.. that's freaking awesome... But will your OCD ever allow you to get work done? That's the question that needs answering. That floor looks pretty slick... get some rugs to wipe the oil from the bottom of your foot so you don't go sliding.. Ice skating is not something you guys from GA are used to. 2.5 acres and you think that's enough for disk golf? should be able to get a lot of hole in ones...

ok, all that is tongue in cheek (I have to tell people because too many guys get upset with my sense of humor) , except the awesome shop space.

I called this one "It's just the normal noises in here!". This is our walkout basment which passes as my shop.

Looks like it’s “drive out.”
