Title: Portable work station ideas
Post by: flanagan0718 on June 17, 2025, 04:59:51 PM
Hey all,
So I no longer have a dedicated workshop. This is due to the plumbing event a few years back that claimed 90% of my inventory, parts, and gear. So I was thinking of making a sort of "mobile" work station. This way I can setup and breakdown fairly quickly on the dining table or somewhere else in the house. I have some stuff in cases and most of the resistors and diodes in binders with card sleeves. I was also thinking of picking up one of those craftsman trade stacks to store it all in...or at lease most of it. I work at Lowe's and get a little discount on it I may even lean towards one of the Klein Tools ones IDK. It seems like a good way to keep most likely f it contained and portable. You guys have any ideas? Just wondering.
I will most likely keep this going with the development as it progresses. Thanks!

When I first started, I just put cardboard on the dining room table also.

I wonder if you can find a serving tray from a thrift shop, something wooden or whatever, and get a cheap as chips soldering mat to line the bottom with. Easy to carry it around, I imagine.

That's a good idea! Plus it will help keep things contained. I have to look around for one. Thanks bud!
