006 - A Change In Plan

I made a decision, executed the decision, and am now sitting and waiting for said decision to begin momentum.

The decision was to get into carpentry at home in my apartment, which sounds weird, but is entirely doable. Drop tarp for the floor, light vacuum for the dust. I already pulled the trigger on a cheap starter work table, 48" with AC outlets and USB ports. Wishlisted a Ryobi cordless tool set, a dustbuster, and already thinking how to improve my apartment for cheap. First step will be assembling the bug out box. Second will be designing a storage bench to keep under the table when not in use. Keep all the tool bags and what not inside. Maybe some locking wheels underneath. 

So, yeah, making actual moves in life now towards the camper van goal. I can't progress on the practical front until all the supplies are here, but I can still come up with new projects and what have you. Before I even start the bug out case, there's the initial building of the table, setting down garage tiles (4' x 3' total) underneath to protect the floor and carpet, and affixing my lamp arm and other devices. Probably order some pegboard hangers for the holes in the sides, this way I can hang some of the electric tools, mainly the glue gun and staple gun, perhaps a hammer and some pliers. 

Ratchet set will be under the table, probably make myself a little rack for screwdrivers if I can't find one cheap. The arm-mounted ring light goes on whichever side the outlets are on, likely facing the right. Figure out how to rig and store a second desktop PC there, because this will also be a tabletop mini painting area. Streaming small projects and mini painting from the second location, but also maybe pencil and paper drafting streams as well. Time will tell, but we will be looking at options. 

Assemble the work table, take measurements, start planning a tool bench that can be sat upon. I also will be looking into getting into more fun projects, like building an emergency water purifier that runs on 12 volts (expensive but it works). Plenty of things to keep myself occupied in the seasons to come, especially since it will be too cold to do much else. 

Lots of moving parts in play. Lots of Amazon packages on the way.
