MORE tool storage ideas.

[Travmon]

So this was a handy way to get a bunch of tools that i like to be next to my work zone and easily seen and grab. Not everyone has or wants this stuff on the wall ( windows, cabinets ,etc.) I like everything on wheels so if i think it will see alot of use on a project i just create a little surgery theater of tools surrounding myself. This doesn’t have to be metalworking related as we all have measuring devices and clamps or ? The other huge bonus is that it only occupies 2x3 feet of floor space.

That is really slick.

What a great storage rack! All of those types of tools are hard to store, perfect solution!

Badass. Please keep this going. I need to organize my fab shop better.

One thing I learned over time is the more work you can take out of work the more enjoyable work tends to be. By nature I think there is some lazy in me , meaning I am too lazy to look for stuff. But if you don’t make somewhat permanent homes for things and organized to a degree , a simple job turns into not. Another way to describe it is this “ lets say you want to end the evening with a quick throw a movie on , well lately by the time i scroll through all the movies available to me I am usually too tired to watch and give up. Simple projects can be like that as well. I do know if I clean off benches and put tools away the next time I step in their my attitude is way different then when I leave myself a disaster.

That card was over the top bad ass.. I was thinking about hitting him up to make a few for me for a different purpose

Dave , originally 10 years ago my son and I opened a medium size RV ,Marine and trailer repair shop with an equal size custom fabrication shop in one building. Unfortunately I was the only one that really wanted to build cool things , and then the RV shop just exploded . My son and I brought alot to the table when we opened. He had been building custom cranes for log trucks and Alaska boats and I had recently closed a custom paint shop due to burn out. In the last 5 years I have been the sole operator at my Toy Factory. My day is managing and head painter for the Rv side, any other time I can squirrel away goes to TF and 5 acres.
