    Shopping for another box, this time for camera gear.

    In recent years my camera and lens collections have grown beyond wanting to throw them in a bag in the closet when they aren't in use. I've gone over a few storage ideas but I keep coming back to a tool box for this. Although that could just be one of my other obsessions creeping in to the...

    Found an excuse to fill a new tool box....

    A quick background: I grew up spending my Saturdays playing in the back of my parents Sewing Machine store in Nebraska. The whole time I said I didn't want anything to do with them. Fast forward to April 2019 and my dad passed away leaving the store, around 600 machines, and a lot of parts to...

    My new Snap on "Tool Box"

    My girlfriend brought home a little gift for me yesterday. Apparently a co-worker of hers has a boyfriend who's dad was a dealer before he passed. Yes of course I asked what else might be hidden away in the garage at home and if it was for sale. In the mean time I moved the box into...

    Storage ideas for keeping detail equipment CLEAN in a DIRTY shop

    Okay the obvious answer is, put it in a cabinet, and keep everything sealed, but I know there are some people on this site with some clever ideas so I figured I would see what they are.

    Who wants to play WTF is this?

    Finally got to the bottom of the totes of my "random tools". This is the stuff that was stuff I either didn't need or didn't recognize at the time of purchase. Some went up for sale, and some I need a hand identifying. Two of the major purchases came from machinists or rather machinist...

    My new home away from home

    The girlfriend and I recently relocated to San Jose, Ca from southern Cal for my new job.
