For
the last few years, while my wife were living in an apartment packed from end
to end, top to bottom, I had to have my desk serve double duty as my work bench
as well. It was always a process and a project just to get things started as
everything needed to be cleaned off from the usual work day so that I could
pull out the work mat and attach the vice to the side. Once that was all done,
it didn’t really leave much time to get things done. Of course, having the
office next to the bedroom didn’t allow for any work getting done beyond
cleaning at night either.
Now,
in our spacious new place, for the first time I am able to set up a dedicated work
bench (from Home Depot) in the basement, two floors away from the bedrooms. In
a different part of the space I have my desk set up solely dedicated to
writing, filing, emailing, and other work on the computer. Finally, each of my
passions have areas designated for each. While I will maintain an organized
space, there is no more clearing off and hiding away electronics, papers, tools,
parts, and cleaning supplies. Everything can be left out, set in their
designated spaces.
Just
having each of these areas divided in the basement, I feel as though I have
more time to do what I enjoy and the small projects that I want to get done are
accomplished much faster leaving me with more time to spend with my wife.
Everything is easily accessible. Still locked away but a simple matter of
security that is still much faster than the previously lengthy process of shifting
purposes for a single work space.
This
new workbench will also impact my work as it will allow me to bring new content
to this blog. Reviews of firearms, equipment, and parts can now be achieved now
that I have a work area dedicated to those projects. I can also now take on
minor cleaning, repairing, and upgrading projects that will not only provide
additional content but will allow me to better educate myself on different processes
and systems. So look for some different content every Firearms Friday as I
continue to organize and get my work bench outfitted to fit my needs. It should
be fun and provide a much needed respite both now and in the future!
