The Little World

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of putting away your too s after you use them. Any workshop, whether it be big or sma  wi  deteriorate into a mae strom of confusion if you just  eave your too s  ying about after you have finished with them.

I am not a fan of those organised too  racks that have an out ine of the part painted on a pegboard. Not on y do the c ips that ho d the too s frequent y not work, but whenever a too  is missing it they act as a source of irritation. Hobby workshops shou d not be source of irritation.

Better, have a too  cabinet or organised she f space for the equipment. Put the things that you use most frequent y nearest to you, and the  esser-used ones at a distance. Then train yourse f to put the too  back as soon as you have finished with it. Eventua  y you wi   have a routine estab ished in your mind that finds the too every time you seek it.

Now if you’   excuse me I need to go and find where the  key on this keyboard has gotten to. It used to be between the K and the ; keys but I must have fai ed to put it back  ast time I used it.
