Time for a spring clean? How's your workbench looking?

It's very compact.  Also, I see that, like the world's greatest cities, you've started 'building upwards.'

I really do try to cram a lot of stuff in a small space.  The other half of the office is my wife's, and she does not like it when my stuff creeps into her space.

anniel747  that's really expensive for home use. We are using it self-hosted:
https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi/releases/download/10.0.18/glpi-10.0.18.tgz
but mainly for IT infrastructure to be honest. Some people suggest means of using it to track spares and/or consumables, so it may be retrofitted for other forms of inventory tracking - but it may depend on the type of inventory...

That is too clean.  Are you sure it's a real work space... and not a show room display at Ikea.   

cstanton   - You can build a workbench in a day.  Some plywood, a few 2x4s and lag bolts will get it done.  Add a sheet of white masonite bathroom paneling on top for a nice clean waterproof work surface and there you have it.  I built a cool U-shaped one in my first apartment at school.  Bolt on a long power strip and a small vise on the corner also.

I have 4000 sq ft of lab at work to keep tidy (never happens), and a few rooms, garage, and basement at home that have been accumulating boxes of stuff for many years.  It's time for a garage sale.

I remember when one of my father's friends gave me a dozen boxes of old ham radio parts and tubes and coils and stuff when he moved to Florida when I was only 10 or 11 years old.  Now I know why he gave it all away - he was just cleaning his basement.....

They say you live your life in three modes, the first third of your life is wanting stuff, the second is accumulating stuff, the third is trying to get rid of stuff......

JWx I really don't have time to fiddle around with my live inventory.

Thank you for this suggestion.

Renting and being in England is not accommodating to do any of this . Thankfully, I have my local Hackspace.

I'll admit that sometimes I feel like I've skipped to the end.

Impressive! I admit I am partly downsizing, and it's definitely still useful to be able to pull out of a drawer something that I need rather than ordering it from amazon :D

@rsc - I’m definitely getting into the third stage although I would modify it to “the wife trying to get you to get rid of stuff” 

ralphjy Truer words have never been spoken.  My wife as well.

Perhaps just liken your stuff to their growing collection of handbags  and shoes  that are taking over the house...

PS Just don't blame me if you then have to buy a bigger house though...
