Get a chair mat. My work room is carpeted as well and it really helps when you drop something small.

I have a Breydon to pick up lost screws 😆 He's like a bloodhound. I have dropped the tinyest screws, and he never fails to find them.

You pay shipping/return shipping 😉

Oh, and he likes chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce.

Seriously though. I have dropped m1.5 nuts into the shag carpet under my bench, and he has not only come back with the nut, but 2 or 3 other things I dropped a week or so earlier. Kid has the eyes of a hawk.

One thing that really helps is to put a bath towel down on your workbench. I used to do that. Now I have the Axial pit mat. It has just enough texture to stop things from rolling away, and if I drop a screw, it kinda lands and doesn't bounce. I still drop an occasional screw and Breydon has to find it, but far less often than before the pit mat.
 
Like that guy said, like a good steak, well done.

Is that an oxymoron?

I've never had a good steak that was well-done... had more than few that were medium rare though. :hehe:

Once had a chef come out of the kitchen to my table and introduce himself. Said he wanted to see what I looked like before he ruined my steak. His sincerity convinced me to change my order to Medium-well, thank you very much. This was in Nebraska, aka "The Beef State" (even had it on their license plates in the 1950s). -AC

Downsizing the workspace. Putting it back to working off the top of two rollcabs. Like it was when coming back from overseas yr. 2000 and setting up in Augusta, GA. Even the original pegboard and mounting brackets. Hardest part was removing all the loaded drawers (h-e-a-v-y) to reinstall the casters. The tall roll cab I like to call my 'Wild Weasel.' Only casters I had that would fit were all swivel casters. Never know where that roll cab is going once it begins moving.

Reminds me. Have to re-paint that vice from its 1960s Ford Blue to a 2024 Honda Red.

Sharon is lobbying hard for a re-location from Texas to N. Minnesota. Anticipating a worst-case scenario, that is 'moving', not Minnesota. When retiring 2002, said I'd never move again. So much for that "never." -AC
