Compartmentizing

[Joseph Garrett]

Jason the Cantor said: "The discussion about where to keep spare hammers etc. prompted Joe
Garrett to recommend (for the umptieth time): "I strongly urge you to
"compartmentize". i.e. a woodworking kit, a stringing kit, a repinning
kit, a regulation kit, etc."
What about the liquids?"

Jason,
As for the first part: I reiterated because there are a continual stream of "Newbies" and many had not been privy to my ascerbic wit and horse....sense.<G> If'n you are tired of my constant barrage of tool tips, etc., come to a regional and tell me face ta face!!! So there!<G>
Now to the second, (actually a valid question that deserves an answer! Go figger!<G>)
Several have told you about the small coolers, etc. I'd like to add to it: For my voicing kit which includes Alcohol, Acetone, Lacquer, Sanding Sealer, dissolved Key top material and all the necessary tools for voicing, I have an aluminum case, about 12"x18"x4", that used to be a 40's/50's picnic Basket. I only carry it in the car when I have a major Voicing job to do, (which I schedule). The rest of the time it stays in my piano/music/junk room that is cool/dry. The same goes for many other type kits that are only needed for MAJOR kinds of jobs. As for glues, I carry a very small amounts with me, on a regular basis. I never carry CA glue with me! (Unless I find that there's a p.block to douse.) That stuff stays in my 2nd/drinks refrigorator where it lasts longer and has a propensity to leak, no matter!
So there ya go. Enjoy. 
AND...Jason......lighten up on this olde dude. I might get a complex.<G>.....Nah!<G>
