NovaTTT 1 #1 June 2, 2010 I need to buy another copy of Poynter's books. I hate having to go downstairs to the loft get them every time I want to look something up! And is it just me, or is it oxymoronic to have the loft downstairs? "Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."

Beatnik 2 #4 June 3, 2010 It doesn't matter how many copies of Poynter's book you have. They are never where you want them to be. At least my seven copies aren't where I want them to be ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NovaTTT 1 #5 June 3, 2010 I've learned to keep a pair of glasses here and there (they're liable to pop up anywhere, which can be convenient). Perhaps I'll become as foresighted about the Manuals.

And is it just me, or is it oxymoronic to have the loft downstairs? My loft (with the table for rounds) is 45 minutes from home (where the sewing machines/extra tools are). And being a shared facility, I can't leave anything up or in process (even the table). Really sucks when the inspection reveals a need for a little over-stitch prior to repack . Good thing that I limit the number of rounds I service to less than 95% of all the work I do . (I REALLY need a better loft... at least you HAVE a basement.)

riggerrob 558 #8 June 4, 2010 Parachute lofts were originally copied from sail-making lofts which were usually above - in the attic, or garret - of other workshops in ship yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
