Thanks @Jerry_Boswijk ! :grin: I’m always in the lookout for new tools, especially now that I have a place to put them!

Wow… such an organization! You have so much tools for building your model! I am so jealous!

@Atropex , my work plan is such a huge mess!

I have settled down on a table (that is my working place now) and I have a light + all my tools around me.

I use little supports (which look like piece of puzzle) to keep all my building tools :slight_smile: :

  • all the screwdrivers coming from previous @Robotime models,
  • Scissors, glue (+++)
  • Toothpicks to add small amount of glue
  • My own nail files, much more convenient than the sandpaper given.
  • All the pieces that have fallen but necessary for the model
  • And my plastic box to put my waste.

I also do all my work at a table, my dining room table specifically! We all start somewhere! I originally had a little bin on my table that I was filling up with tools, but I started to get too many tools and it was just a cluttered mess so I had to upgrade! I actually wouldn’t mind getting a light, @Tkaplan has a cool one in her posts, like a little half circle one. I also have a little garbage can beside my craft cart that I use for all my craft garbage!

@atropex,

I keep all the boards aside.

And I keep all the rest of the littles pieces in little bags « in case of need », even if I doubt that I’ll use small mushrooms from the Alice book nook for something else for other models :rofl:!

I see what you mean by little puzzle piece bins now! Those are neat little bins! I like your wonder woman Lego character! :heart: A lot of us here seem to have little characters as audiences for our builds!

I also use the nail scissors of my « nine years old baby ». Still useful.

No need to ask me what would be necessary for you, I won’t be very useful. Sorry for that :sweat_smile:

Your cart is well organized. and I like that you recognized those that gave you ideas for tools! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I think every little step of building helps and those boxes of books etc take a little. It is progress and progress is good!

I’m all about sharing the love! :heart: Being involved in this community has helped me grow as a crafter, and I hope that my experiences and builds can help others grow as well! :blush:

That’s okay, you don’t need to apologize! :blush: I enjoyed that you shared you’re set up with me! :heart: I also really like the little mallet that you have, others in the community talk about using little hammers and stuff, I have yet to get any, but they sound useful! :blush:

Ok I’m officially totally jealous of both the contents and the cart itself! I think I have a new investment. I keep all my tools in boxes, each for a different purpose, and this way I could have everything in one place…

P.S. I see a Japanese OLFA knife and blades – I have one too and I’m thrilled with it. I need to buy some new blades because I only have straight ones.

Yeah, the cart is super nice! I love the OLFA brand, I have 2 knives, and my scissors are OLFA as well!

Wow! You have many tools. I’m jelly. :sneezing_face: I think you have all the tools that are needed on building a kit. I have bookmarked your post. :pink_heart:

I think I really should invest in a chart like this but maybe a bit smaller than yours (like half of it as i do not have much space in house) I actually didn’t know that OLFA brand has also a scissors, I should check them out as well <3 Thank you dear
