geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

I think it is time for a trip to Harbor Freight tomorrow...I have 2 gift cards and everything is 15% off this weekend. Taking a tip from #Bae aka @EatSleepTacos

 

Looking into it more, nether the 5 drawer or the 4 drawer will fit under the worktable. So, I would have to build spacers for the legs (roughly 1.5" to raise it up to fit.

Height - 39 and 1/8" Height - 41 and 3/8" Because I plan to have a bigger toolbox in the workshop, I am not sure I would need the larger one. However, being the same price and the tool collection always and forever growing, I am thinking about getting the bigger one. The garage bay layout might have to change to accommodate regardless. Again, the primary function of this box would be a true roll cart application and the current, outgrown Craftsman would be sold (no need to keep it if I buy this roll cart).


Full send?

 

Just go full send. Otherwise you’ll be redoing it all again later

 

Don't have anyone to justify shit to either.....

 

You should see my garage.. in total the whole house has 7 tool boxes

 

Damn!!

I am still torn on the 56" Husky versus the 46" Milwaukee big boii. The bigger roll cart should be able to justify the 46" Milwaukee box. Space is limited in the workshop (room behind the garage bay). I wish the 56" Milwaukee wasn't discontinued, but this roll cart should offset that wish nicely.

 

I can say the Milwaukee boxes are built pretty damn stout for the price. I’ve never been a big fan of husky

 

I am fairly certain that with this roll cart purchase, the 46" Milwaukee will be the right choice. More room and opportunity for storage space; which is, realistically, the primary concern.

 

i would have to agree.

 

Had my Amsoil dealer over as well as a few buddies last night to discuss a potentially new venture idea. Amsoil dealer brought over that good good...



Had 5 gift cards to use at Harbor Freight today..



NEW socket storage coming soon....I gave up on this mess..



New to the ninja..pretty close match






I am looking to get some vinyl for the top surface of the roof cart so that I can use it for things like servicing my chainsaw etc. Going to see if they make anything for that. Should be easy to figure something out.


I am thinking that the workshop tool box can be a chest now with some cabinets above it for extra storage..something like this:

Spent the day by my mom's house (every Sunday alternating between my house and my mom's house. Got my brother's gas tank straps swapped out. His were bad but not like mine.

So, I have been missing my 14mm & 15mm ratcheting spanners for WEEKS. Didn't find them yesterday while going through my tools. Come to find out, my brother had them all along:



Fixed spanners will go into my truck tool kit and I will grab see flex head racheting ones from HF this weekend.

Going to grab some derp and paint the chrome drawer edging black for better sex appeal.

Exchanged a paint can holder and magnetic tray for some socket holders:

 

Oh, also, winterized the saws today:

 

Gotta love working from home where wifi reaches the garage:



Learned I need more sockets...

 

Roll cart mods:


Red SAE socket holders swapped out for lime green and added edge trim to the drawers and top tray edges:



HFT rubber grommets to hold the screwdrivers in place better:



HFT magnetic rails (US General sticker removed):



Rubber mat for the lid:



Extra mat used for the side tray:



New flex head spanners:



Removed some tools to.make room for new Milwaukee tools coming:



I was naughty on Friday:

 

Very nice setup!

 

Thanks Craig!!

 

Cut all the things!!

 

Garage door opener exploded last night; already met with someone this morning to replace is later this morning/early afternoon.

Embrace the suck.

 

Very nice sir. Have the same cart in red, but it was never that nice looking.
I outgrew it because I clearly have a problem with buying tools.

 

As do I lol I plan on getting a bigger box for bigger items and things like bolts, brackets, flat stock and miscellaneous stuff etc. The cart is just for most used tools readily available.

The lime green cart is going away soon though... swapping for a black cart
