A chaotic workspace is unsafe, unsanitary and unacceptable. Here are some tips to keeping your workbench tidy and how keeping it organized can be beneficial to your business: 1. Make Tools Reachable. Not every facility has unlimited space. That’s where a pegboard comes in handy. This setup allows you to hang and store tools on the wall, while. I've set up workshops in many different places and for many different applications. The process of organizing your workshop or workbench is both personal and organic. Setups vary wildly. Sep 11, 2020 - Before you can begin your many DIY projects, you'll need a trusty workbench to work from! Why not build the workbench yourself? This board contains project plans, instructions, and tips for how to build a workbench that will meet your needs and organize your tools and materials.

Is your workbench and surrounding area complete mayhem or an OCD design studio? This week on the “Bench Time” podcast, hosts Brett and Todd Wiley of HO Scale Customs explore and discuss the many ways the manage their work area when they model. From the types of workbenches the the way they organize and store their spare parts, paints, glues, tools, supplies, details, and unfinished kits, You will hear how each have contrasting styles and ideas with unique reasons that allow them to work efficiently. They also talk about how to store and organize with containers and gadgets that can be had on the cheap around the house or in discount stores that can turn your turmoiled nightmare into a bench that helps you get some work done and make you feel good inside when you work. Aesthetics can play a big role in productivity!
They also take listeners questions about fine scale model railroading, and give Todd some more raspberries about his Sculpey Seagull.
Things wrap up this week with some details about HO Scale Customs has in store for our listeners during the Fine Scale Model Expo in Albany NY, November 1-3. What we will be bringing you in content live and through the podcast all weekend to make you feel as if you were there, and hoping that you are there, how you can stop by and say hello or talk shop at our table!

Overview
The Workspace is located in the upper-left-hand corner of the application. It is used to contain open data files and store analysis results during a geWorkbench session. When geWorkbench is launched, an empty Workspace folder is displayed.
The workspace as a whole, with all its projects and data nodes, can be saved and restored. However, only one workspace can be open at one time. Creating a new workspace or loading a saved workspace will overwrite the current workspace.
The Workspace may contain several heterologous datasets. These datasets can include input (source) data and derived data (results) associated with an experiment as well as image files. Source data can be loaded from the user’s local storage or from remote servers. Loading datasets into the geWorkbench Workspace does not change their physical storage locations.
Note - The top menu-bar items File and Edit also apply to items in the Workspace. They offer many of the same options shown below, except e.g. Microarray merging is only available from the top level File menu.
Workspace Menu Options
Right-clicking on the Workspace node gives a menu with the following options
Open Files
Open PDB File from RCSB Protein Data Bank
If Open PDB File from RCSB Protein Data Bank is chosen, a dialog box appears.
Type in the name of a PDB structure entry and it will be retrieved from the RCSB Protein Data Bank and loaded into geWorkbench. Workspaces 1 4 – Organize Your Workbench IdeasWorkspace Data Node Menu Options
Right-clicking on a data node will produce a popup menu with the following options:
Save
Save the currently selected data node. This is implemented for at least the below data types. If saving of a particular type has not been implemented, the 'Save' option will be disabled (grayed-out).
For each file type, a file browser with a filter for the target file type extension (e.g. .fasta) will be opened.
Export to tab-delim
This option will only appear for microarray gene expression datasets. It allows the microarray dataset to be exported in a spreadsheet format, as a tab-delimited text file. The first row contains array names and the first column contains the marker names.
This export format does not preserve array or marker sets that may have been defined in geWorkbench for the dataset. However, it can be used to save a copy of e.g. merged, filtered, and/or normalized data in a format easily used by other programs.
When exporting, the file save dialog will display the name of the dataset, minus any recognized file-type suffixes that may be present (e.g. .soft).
Rename
A dialog box will appear in which a new name can be entered.
Remove
The selected data nodes and any child data nodes will be removed. Multiple selections can be made.
Data Node Hover-text Information
For microarray datasets, adjacency matrices (network nodes), sequence and pattern nodes, moving the mouse cursor over the data nodes will display additional details about a dataset.
Microarray datasets: hover text displays number of markers and arrays.
Adjacency Matrix: hover text displays number of nodes and edges in the network. ![]() Sequence node: Pattern node: ![]() WorkspacesSaving the Workspace
Saving the workspace saves all its data to a file on disk. The workspace can later be reloaded to resume work.
Special considerations on saving and restoring workspaces
Opening a Saved Workspace
File->Open-Workspace.
Only one workspace at a time can be loaded in geWorkbench. Opening a saved workspace will destroy the existing workspace. For this reason, if you opt to open a workspace, you will be prompted as to whether to save the existing workspace first.
A dialog box will appear in which the location and file name to which to save the workspace can be chosen. Creating a New WorkspaceWorkspaces 1 4 – Organize Your Workbench Set
