New filing system
Right! There are a lot of new members in the space, and there are a lot of tools that get picked up, used, and put back somewhere… else. It’s confusing and discourages people from using all the great stuff we have available.
To fix this I put a sticker on every major shelf naming the shelf. The format is XX-LN. XX is an area code: EL for the electronics bench, ME for mechanical bench, CNC for the new CNC bench, CR for the crafting bench and PA for the parts wall. L is a letter for the shelf, starting with A at the bottom. N is a number for the place on the shelf from left to right, starting at 0. So, for example, cable ties & zip ties are EL-B9. Now everyone knows where to find a thing and where to put it back without having to be taught.
For this system to continue working, I ask of you three horribly dangerous and possibly fatal things:
- If you put something in a box and stuff it on a shelf, please give it a code.
- If you spot something without a code, please add it.
- If you see a box that is turned the wrong way so you can’t see the label, add a label on the other end and solve the problem forever.
Muchos gracias! (That’s italian for merci beaucoup.)
So, where is the list of codes for the existing boxes?
The codes are on the front and back of each box. If you would like them stored online then please make it happen.
