Since so many of us like to peek inside the make spaces of others, here is one of my workbenches. I have five workbenches in my shop. This is my primary bench. Jewelry, electronics, and pretty much any type of detail work happen here. This is the bench I gravitate to when I’m thinking or just busying my hands. It’s where I keep some favorite things.
I save glass bottles. I toss things in them all the time and randomly. Going through them makes me feel like an archeologist. Like so many kids, I wanted to be one of those.
I love small parts bins. I also love small parts. Satisfaction.
My torch has a name. Flame Princess.
I love Jasper, especially Ocean Jasper and Polychrome Jasper.
Yes, that is a Red Swingline.
Nothing like a good piece of hickory.
That big hunk of glowing mineral is a Himalayan rock salt lamp.
And since I just got an RGB LED strip to play with, here are some shots under different colored lighting. I enjoy watching rocks and beads change with the lighting.
What does the salt lamp do? I hear it is supposed to have health benefits, does it really affect you?
I just like big chunks of mineral. 🙂 I can’t attest to any health benefits beyond those offered by any object that you find beautiful and captivating. I like to look at it, touch it, and, yes, lick it.
