Workbench
Why did I include this topic in my memories? I don't know! The workbench in the basement was the staging area for many projects around the house. A wealth of tools were placed in specific locations as all well organized workbenches are. It was a difficult lesson to learn and I was always in hot water for not returning tools to their proper location. At the far end of the bench was a grindstone for sharpening the scythes and scycles. Small jars were used to segregate the miriad of nuts, bolts, nails, and all sorts of hardware.I used the area at one time or another to take apart broken alarm clocks that were supplied by my grandmother. Never could get the darn things back together again.
