I wish I had the space for a workstation like that, I certainly would spend more time making things.
I made myself a megaohm resistance substitution box this weekend...
That's a neat idea. What are you going to use this for?
Dad and I have been working for the last couple weeks to get our shop building up and running. The idea is to have 4 septate areas: An area for working on equipment, woodworking, welding and metal fabrication and storage.
Today I built the bench for the woodworking area. Dad sent me one he liked and I need my design on it, but went a little overboard with legs and crossmembers.

I'm still not sure what I'll do for the welding table. It'll be epic for sure!
You know, it gets me thinking.....how many of us are left you reckon? I mean the people who can actually design and build things? The real down to earth practical handymen? Every generation they seem to get fewer and fewer , replaced by designers and hot air....still there obviously, otherwise the world would be doomed, but still.
Ditto. Instructional YouTube videos make things a lot easier. Previously, you would have had to spend lots of time on finding the right book(s) and then leaf through them in the hope of finding the one bit of information you needed. Today, you can still read the books and you can also watch someone "do it right" after a few moments of googling. My fianc?e goes online all the time for all sorts of knitting, sewing etc. advice.From what I can see it's becoming more popular as a hobby thanks to technology. I certainly get a lot of inspiration from people online and even in this thread
