POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

Sounds like CDO to me....

Heh, there must be millions of people out there, who have been diagnosed with OCD, who think they have OCD but really just are neurodiverse with ADHD.

ADHD people can expend an awful lot of time trying to quieten the 'noise' of distracting, competing thoughts in their brain. Imposing order on externalities is one strategy. The fewer sources of distractions, the less noise.

Progress always results in a good feeling.

I know you've seen the attached; maybe the next step is laying things out (CAD or even a sketch on graph paper)?

Yeah, it was a real logjam with a ton of crappy knock-ons and coming up with one solution to one part of the problem, led to solutions to the rest.

As a programmer, the number of times I've untangled what appeared to be a knotty bugger of a problem by coming up with a solution for just one bit of the problem, you'd think I'd know by now.

Yep, I did see that and when the partition wall goes up, early next year (it'll be located on the other side of the tall, 'cream' coloured, steel card index with the red nasty-cheap toolbox on top, you can see to the right at the rear of the picture), I'm definitely going to take a leaf out of your book and do a layout in CAD, to see what's what.

Or pinging endlessly between projects until bored. Then the projects move into the "I'm a gunna." column and storage roulette.

I keep them on a list, my list has several volumes with fine print and filled margins front and back...

Meant to add how impressive it is you have a printed list. I tend to move a pile and think "Oh yeah, I just need a whatist to finish that.

A pile is so passé; I keep mine here (look closely ):

I ground a higher degree of clearance on my boring bar inserts so I could use them in smaller holes. Essentially I took a CCMT insert and made it into a CPMT insert. I changed the clearance angle from 7° to about 15°. It was very easy to do this and I didn't have to buy new inserts. I also did some TPMT's. Sorry I did not get pictures but it was not very exciting either.
