They did, though late. So we'll see how it holds up over the years. How are you doing?

I haven't posted here in a while. Winter saw many indoor projects to take care of. But I have good news. The next two weekends are going to be relatively slow, so I have a list of articles that don't need much to wrap up and I'm going to work on them both this weekend and next weekend.

My wife will be watching football this weekend, so I will be in the workshop most of the time. As I wrap some of the partial projects, I will update in the stub threads in the Savage///Circuits forum area.

This thread dying off should have been a sign that I was caught up on the "home" projects that delayed many of my own projects. However, all the changes in 3D printing that have occurred at Savage//Circuits HQ have really distracted me from my some of my original goals.

Ironically, as the 3D prints have been piling up on my workbench, preventing me from getting things done, parts that have arrived have landed in piles on the bench, exacerbating things. The result is a real conundrum.

As if that wasn't bad enough, my soldering bench was the next place to become inundated with 3D printing and incoming / unsorted parts.

To the right of the soldering bench is my tool cart, some shelves and my laser cutter bench. I couldn't get to the laser cutter now if I wanted to! The plastic shelf at the bottom used to be under the 3D Printer bench and was removed when I installed the track shelves, however, I didn't finish dealing with it, and now it's covered in crap too!

Ironically, this bench is supposed to be my sorting area for things that need to be organized and put away. It got to be soooo bad I moved to the aforementioned places. So yeah, welcome to my world. Last night I started putting things away. I think the rest of this week will see me continuing on that trajectory, since I really need my workbench and can't access it.

Be careful - your place is beginning to look like mine.

The picture of your shelves reminds me that I still have not put shelves up for my filament storage.  The trouble is that we are planning on moving in another year, or so, and so I do not want to mess up the walls with screw holes, or wall anchors. So, I have been thinking of just putting up a piece of plywood behind my printing desk, and screwing the shelf holders to that rather than the wall. Still mulling it over.

Well, if that wasn't enough, while sorting and arranging these shelves, I had to remove much of what was piled on there.

This is where the excess sits...I so need more shelving.

Do what my wife suggests for our cluttered storage... use some well place TNT! I have one small room with a desk that got so cluttered that you could barely see it. I did go through it and put everything in small storage tub. The problem is no organization! If I need a Pico 2 WH, I need to search through all the tubs until I find it. I think I'll spend the first year or so of retirement reorganizing the house.
