Some time ago I had this idea when I was cleaning my hobby room / workshop while I was looking for a place to put all the stuff I had ideas for. Back then bucket-lists were a thing, and I ended up having a real bucket with things I want to use for projects. Here is the introduction I uploaded to YT some months ago:

(The hexagon stuff will get it's own project page after I make the next one (#3))

In the introduction I mention my Stickvise, but I'm not counting it as a bucket project, because:

1. I actually made it before I 'announced' my bucket project.
2. I forgot about declaring it as project from my bucket when I edited the video below. So I had to come up with reason #1 to justify not counting it, or re-edit the video, and render and upload it again.

I decided then what the first projects were going to be, but other things kept coming up so I had to wait for a convenient moment between projects. Now I finally used some things from the bucket, and I show it in the video below. These are not highly sophisticated projects, but some general workshop stuff.

• A surface plate cover: The rim is actually very useful, it will hold sanding paper on a flat surface which makes it easier to handle while sanding a small object for example when trying to polish something (proper polishing with increasing grit counts and such, not the once over I did on the hexagon in the video above)
• Bench top modifications: Adding some sockets and rewiring the existing ones.
• Fixing the base of a magnifying lamp: 'hacking' a swivelling wheel to replace the base of a magnifying desk lamp.

Here is the video:

Some projects from the bucket might get their own project page, others are just small things I will put in this workshop project or maybe not even mention here. But everything will be recorded and uploaded to youtube.

And If you like 'The Bucket' idea fill your own and start documenting your small projects. We could make a list of buckets, that would be an awesome pun.
