I would rather have the shelf below exposed, however I quickly realized that was not good. Every time I drilled, sanded or worked on wood, it was a pain to clean the wood chips and dust below the workbench. So I installed one of those plastic bathroom curtains on a rail below the bench. Not exactly handsome but saves me a lot of work during cleanups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/+article\/oficina_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And as you can see, there are new tools \ud83d\ude0a. Oh come on, don&#8217;t give me the same look my wife gives me&#8230; Of course I had to get more tools. Of special note are two Japanese saws (a Ryoba and a Kataba), which made me think about why I ever used Occidental saws before. And a new (and better) jigsaw and a nail gun, both battery-powered. Unless it&#8217;s some sort of bench-top tool, I&#8217;m going cordless 100%. Next on the list is a random orbit sander and a (plunge?) router, cordless of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/+article\/guardrail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is the first diorama project I made in my new shop. A couple of years ago I bought a guardrail like this, though it was shorter and frankly poorly made. So using chopsticks, a strip of MDF  as base, water-based paint, wood glue and LOTS of sanding and cutting, I made another one. I already made some photos using it, and it turned out pretty good. I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August I finally got a proper shop. After nine years since we moved to our new house, I now have a decent workplace.
