After reading the thread about the very unfortunate fire at one of our member's shop, I got to thinking about how difficult it would be to replace my own, small shop.
To that end, I was wondering if I could get some help on a project that came to mind - a shop inventory application of some sort. It will be either in Excel or MS Access. When done, I would post it in the files section so people might be able to use it for their own shops.
I figure we would need to have "detail" information covering: Quantity, manufacturer, date bought, price paid, replacement value, description and either some way to link to a picture or insert one. I also think this will take a little bit but would like to have it finished for the fall.
The list below is a beginning point to identify the most common tools in our shops. Could I please ask our members to add to it? I have created initial categories, so when responding, please use one of the following categories:
