Hahah, this is amazing. Did you develop any other neurotic tendencies because your industry? You should post an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit, that's a really interesting background.

^^Beautiful! Huh? What I meant was that I wash only stuff that doesn't have moving parts and the appropriate stuff gets wiped lanolin. Sorry if the title seems hostile, I meant it in a casual way. Having worked in a place where everything was labeled, push-through commercial dishwasher and...

Here I am.

When the feeling hits me in the right way, I enjoy it with pina coladas and assless chaps.

I save a ton of space this way. You're right about it being a little annoying to pop off the lids. I have baking sheet racks I just put them in though without lids, slide it out if I need it. I'll get a pic in a few.

Who does the design work for GJ website? It's pretty slick... Edit: Yes, a simple short sleeve white cotton shirt I can get dirty with grease and metal dust, please :)

Also: Shoutout to deli containers. Washable, clear, sturdy as hell. The restaurant industry uses deli pint & quart containers for a lot of their storage, pretty much standard practice -- I recommend these things for fastener/parts storage. It's like ..~$10?? for pack of 100.

Apologies if it sounds like I'm harping on the guys with the messy workspace -- I don't mean it that way! I get so grouchy and stressed out at the sight of a dusty and untidy shop space that I can't enjoy myself at all. How do you guys do it? My background is cooking so I guess I'm just...

alum sheet pans come $5 a pop, you should use it for your kitchen. I use mine to store my clothes, photography gear. It looks pretty swell all lined up in a row.

Yeah, I can attest to the fact that restaraunts kitchens do, in fact, use tool cabinets. I've never seen a cook use them as part of their mise en place, they usually cut a bakery cooling rack in half and stick it under their table and use sheet pans as drawers. It's just a communal chest for...

Eep, I've neglected my thread, sorry! I used my acetylene torch with a compass attachment, it wasn't too bad at all. I'm going to experiment with holes just 1/32" larger than the holdfast, filing a larger hole until I get a slant that will hold. Ah, there we go, that makes a lot of sense now.

I personally use beeswax thinned with mineral spirits. Makes great shoe polish too.

Well, there goes my theory. What are CANOpen controlled clamps by the way?

I'm not sure I understand you, are you saying that tacking is pretty much an equivalent of clamping in woodworking?

Yes. Aren't those tables 2 grand though? Maybe woodworking tables are just so cheap and easily flattened/planed that it's much easier. Another clamping thing. It's pretty clever.
