The workshop: making or fixing things

It seems like every time I want to use one of the studios,  some preparation work needs to be done.  Sometimes the tools to do the work are fetched from this workshop, other times I do the work in the workshop.

I like to work with tools. In fact I sometimes think the only reason I've made something is so I could play with some tool or other. I wish I could say I'd been a conscientious tool collector, only getting the best quality and becoming skilled at using each one, but truth is there are only a few really good tools; most of the rest are usually good enough to get the job done.  I've become skilled with a few of the tools, and there are few floating around the shop that I've never figured out what they are for.
