I swear that I am actually organising this for the better. 🫣

Everything off the back shelves needs to be removed so I can move it to the opposite wall to the lasers. Then to put everything back and make another set of shelves for the back wall minus the drawers.

I think it will work out better. 🤔

Finally able to start putting my garage back into order. First thing was making a new spot for the UV Laser.

Garage hasn't been this empty since I first moved in 3 years ago.
Garage door is getting replaced tomorrow and apparently they need most of the garage empty to fir the new panels.

This will give me a chance to declutter as well as reorganise the shelving layout. Hopefully make things more organised rather than the chaos it is currently.

Sold my sandblasting cabinet so will no longer be sandblasting glassware.

I may not be able to engrave all the items I did when sandblasting, but things are changing.

Hopefully will be able to fill the space with another larger laser in the future.

Thanks to my boys and Cassie Smits for the Mew mirrors for Fathers day.

The Cubone and the Mew mirrors were both made by the amazing Emma Otterly Dazzling Designs O.D.D

I had to rearrange my display cabinet so these could be displayed in amongst my collection.

(Had to edit since once again it posted without my comments)

Well I found out what the noise was from the Patrol on my trip to and from Rockhampton for

Thankfully it didn't let go and got me home.

The tensioner collapsed and failed and was letting the belt jump considerably. Good thing I have replaced this before so it made for an easy job. Although I had to cut the belt because the tensioner failed completely and couldn't be moved the normal way.
