The Chaos Stage
The evolution of this station has been a little tricky over the years. It started out as a parts station for inventory, but it eventually evolved into something else entirely, each time not quite working for my workflow. Its newest form goes back to being a parts station, but this time, it's a place for all the projects I'm working on at once.
This is a space where chaos is tamed, but not eliminated. The name is a nod to the fact that I'm working on a lot of projects at once, and this station is a place where I can keep all the parts, from all the projects, in one place. It's a stage for a builder's mind.
So I guess you could say I finally staged my chaos. It’s where every project gets a fighting chance, It’s a testament to the idea that sometimes, the best way to get a job done is to just embrace the chaos.

This station has kinda been a headache over the years. I got the toolbox for a great price—I wanna say it was like $50.00 brand new—then I added a wood top and bolted on a Harbor Freight bin rack. I really thought this was for me... nope, still not my style of organization. It just could not contain my chaos.

This is one of the stations that just does not get a lot of focus. It really does become a catch-all zone for anything without a home. It's an honest struggle, but I do try often to control the chaos here. The fight for organization is endless, but necessary.
