What's On Your Workbench?



At the moment... (1) Small file of stats and analytical notes on the relationship of NFL casino spreads to actual over/under coverage

by team (performance index) and season to date aggregate. (2) Chess book received as a gift. (3) Few Thanksgiving greetings and

a postcard from Reykavik. (4) The Oxford Book of American Verse (yard sale find, all 1,132 pages for $1.00). (5) My trusty 'Do List'.

I have a lug, a knife, a steel, a mesh glove, a meat hook, and 100 lbs of quailty beef chuck on my block, er, I meant workbench.

A tool box full of misc. tools and a piece of white shelving that I am supposed to be cutting and routering to replace a brocken drawer bottom that is currently duct taped into place. 😞

Klien "California" wire tie pliers(wonderful for tying rebar), The "Miracle" Vaughn wooden handle hammer(the first time I used this, it was like it was handed down from the Gods), Porter Cable Router(much power), one of the first 14v cordless DeWalt drills(classic that still works and batteries are very reliable).

I take it your 'workbench' is not in the barn, as mine is?

My "workbench" is my desk. In addition to the computer, mouse, and mousepad, I have a scanner, a toaster, a couple pieces of today's paper, a book that I never knew I bought although I do remember wanting to (The Last Lecture), and tea stuff.

Why do I have a toaster on my desk? Someone on Freecycle requested one and I don't use mine. I put it on my desk to remind me to contact them, but they haven't contacted me back yet.

Went with 'workbench' since desk or desktop seemed to have too much office/cyber flavor. Old fashioned honest 'workbench' seemed right.

I do have a desk in my living room. I used to have a work bench once, but only because it came with the place I was living in. I try to avoid sharp objects as a rule.

So what's Plan B for the toaster?

I'm confused, are we talking "workbench" or "desk"?

For me, my desk is my workbench, in that it's the piece of furniture/wood I do all my working on. It's just that the work I do doesn't include sharp things like nails. Otherwise, I think for everyone else it's a real workbench.

I tend to have ongoing boxes of things to give away. I give them to my sister. She and my mother take whatever they want and then my sister takes the rest to a place like Goodwill.
