At start of play today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Picking up where I left off yesterday, I wanted to finish the second tier. This meant adding holes for pens, pencils, screwdrivers, the dovetail square, and various other odds n sods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The pen and pencil area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pens and pencils are the first instance of possible overcrowding, as they get in the way of easy immediate access to some of the drill bits behind them. One solution might be to make the holes deeper. But. Think I\u2019ll leave them for now, as that runs the risk of shorter pencils disappearing into the holes altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added a hole for an x-acto knife, by the glue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m happy with how three of the machinist\u2019s squares are stored. Only the largest one presents an issue. I made little strips to fill parts of the slots that the smaller ones go in. But the larger one is too tall to sit plumb with the others. What ought I do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera went a bit misty!?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This slightly misty view shows tier two fully loaded. And, in front of the whole shebang, a few of the remaining tools I want to incorporate somewhere, poss\u2019 some in a third tier. Certainly I want to incorporate the pencil sharpener. And the little glue bottle would be handy as well. And some AA and AAA batteries\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poss\u2019 design flaw; screwdrivers*, pencils\/pens block drill bits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think I\u2019ve mostly avoided overcrowding. But one notable exception is the area in the front middle of tier two, where screwdrivers and pens\/pencils block access to the drill bit set immediately behind. Time will tell if this is a problem or not. For now I\u2019m going to leave things as they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The squares end includes glue and an exacto knife.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The third and final tier, as yet unbuilt, will house the few remaining tools. Hopefully!? This said. I might leave a third tier\/block, as there\u2019s not that many bits and bobs left over. And one or two of those that are still without a place might be best in tiers one or two (the hammer is quite big\/tall, and should go at the back). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, an argument for going ahead with tier three is that it\u2019ll create space for batteries (AA and AAA), the small glue dispenser, and the electric pencil sharpener (which I adore!). Hmmm? These are tomorrow\u2019s decisions\/projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* One solution might be to swap out the current screwdrivers for shorter\/smaller handled ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
