tool lust

My current tool space/ work-surface is the top of a high boy dresser that J's mom used to keep a chicken in- the fowl had it's choice of the 5 drawers to roost in. It's an old hardwood piece that is quite tall and can really take a pounding when I have to hand-set rivets or grommets or the like.  The only problem is that there isn't much surface space for little more than my hand press, a small cutting mat, small but lovely tool tray, and a mason jar.  In the mason jar I keep the larger implements like a mallet and hammer.  Unfortunately, if I am careless I can easily tip over the jar spilling the contents to the floor.  I can only hope that my landlord does not notice the pock marks left by my hammer.   Oopps. So it's understandable why I could lust after such a lovely yet utilitarian piece like this.   You can find it here.
