    I take it home and drink beer while doing it. If I did it at work I'd probably strangle who did it. I always place something like a adjustable or other tool I won't be using across it so it doesn't look closed.

    And no lights yet still looking for a system I like

    Oh I am. Just want it with a clean wall switch not the odd controllers they all have. I also want color changing and white. My SO wants white and simple. I didn't build walnut cabinets to go simple...

    Lol. Setting up for lighting is the next step. Then they go from temporarily hung to permanently. I'm thinking of using an odd security head screw to fuck with the next owner of the home. Still have crown a lower rail and few other things to build.

    And here is how they sit now and it's driving me crazy

    Bow bar! I think they're mostly used by tree cutters that are bucking a shitload like for paper mills and such. They don't pinch or bind as much as your standard style so they have their uses.

    I'm hauling most of my stuff home tomorrow I'll take a picture. Everything is sorted into bags based by need. So I normally don't take a lot of things. My current job has me with just about everything. But everything fits pretty easily with the overflow going in the bed, but shorted and no cap so nothing other than a ladder and saw horses stay in there.

    There are some really awesome projects in here. I just closed on my first house and moved in on Monday. I'm sure I will be using this thread for ideas pretty soon.
