The Build Table

If the workshop is the heart of Freeky Geeky, then the Build Table is its operating room. This is the central hub where every project, big or small, comes together. It’s where raw ideas and scattered parts finally get assembled, where the meticulous cleanup happens, and where the final, crucial fabrication takes place. While other stations are for specific tools, this table is a place for the most important part of the build: the human element. It’s a monument to the practical side of creation, a place where dreams, grit, and hard work become reality.

This table isn't just a flat surface; it's the main stage for all the action. It's the place where I can lay out all the parts of a project and figure out how they fit, or, more accurately, how they don't. It's the chaotic place where I can get my hands dirty, and the peaceful place where I can get lost in the assembly. It’s a place for problem-solving, a place for trial and error, and a place where every project is given a fighting chance.

It's also where the real story of the workshop is told. It’s where the designs that come to life on the computer are finally given a physical form, and where the chaos of a dozen different parts is tamed into a single, cohesive project. The Build Table is a place where every project is given a voice, and every creator is given a chance to shine. It's a place for dreams, for grit, and for hard work, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, I call this the Seed Table. The idea was to have a very large work surface, but while I don’t think I have any pictures of it in use, let me tell you—it was a giant catch-all and a terrible idea, at least for the way I work. So, it eventually got turned into a bunch of smaller tables, two of which would go on to evolve into the Build Table and the Desk.

So, the build table was actually two tables at one point. Over time, it just naturally evolved into one. Sometimes you start a project with one idea, and it just morphs into something better. This was a case of a good idea that just wasn't the right fit, and the workshop ended up with a better solution in the end.

The build table has evolved a lot over the years, trying to suit my needs. But even I couldn't foresee what would happen in the future to this particular design. It was a good step in the right direction, a monument to a builder's evolving needs, but it would eventually be remixed and rebuilt into something else entirely.

The build table isn't just one; it’s actually been multiple tables working in tandem for a long time. This photo captures just another attempt to keep them clean and organized. We all know it’s a temporary fix, but you have to fight the chaos sometimes, right?

I just have to stop here and point out how much I love this Kiss stand because it already has a color-coded system. The ingenious part is that all I do is add a dab of nail polish to the back of the drill bits to match.
