Getting organized
April 23, 2026 Reading time: ~1 minute
Today I finally cut down the workbench so that it’s narrower. I am tall and I have long arms and I could not easily reach across the 40” bench to pull hardware out of my bins or reach tools on the magnet holders. As I worked I wondered if the work to trim 12” off the width is worth it. I think it will be. I’ll be able to reach to the back of the shelf under the table and roll the table around the shop into tighter spaces.
About
My name is Daniel and my family is turning our little 10-acre spot north of North Branch, Minnesota, into a place to raise kids (and see grandkids), build forts, keep sheep, work with wood, and connect with people.
