This is my “shop” (aka, the corner of the living room I have taken over):
Top to bottom:
- Pegboard I made from this thread
- Husky rolling table, which is basically the perfect size for the GF
- Some slightly incorrectly sized stackable storage bins - if I had it to do over I’d have gotten ones that were 12x20 on the inside not the outside
- This shelf from the forum with extra supports to hold more weight. Probably going to try a 1/4" cut of this thing I made to replace it for better strength though.
- Boxes of Columbia Forest Products stuff (or unopened Priority Mail boxes) underneath - you can only stack them 2 high under the bottom of the rolling cart so you don’t have to worry too much about them getting crushed.
- A bunch of boxes I made next to it: Some shelves, a big-ass box of cardboard, and a wood offcuts box for kindling. Which of course is full so there are two extra bags of kindling next to it now
I was joking with some folks I was talking to a couple days ago that the Glowforge is an ourubouros of crafting since half the stuff I’ve built with it is to hold materials and/or offcuts.
Oh also, I can’t find the original post that tweaked me to this, but balled up on top of the cardboard pile is a pack-n-play fitted sheet, which it turns out is basically the same size as a GF and works wonders as a cover.
