New Work bench area
« on: January 04, 2019, 11:39:02 AM »
I have been debating getting another tool box as my current one is overflowing and unorganized.  Over Christmas I decided on this set up.  I also found an ammo can from my wife's parents house that contained some old craftsmen tools and they were covered in rust and dirt.  I spent several days bringing them back to life and also found a very old fence tool that I wanted to leave as is.  In addition to that.  I got all my sockets loaded out and out of canvas bags that I had put away.  So now I have things there i can get to them better.  Still working on what goes where but getting close.

I suppose that now you want us to come over and teach you how to use those tools?  :funny:

Many of my tools get used almost every day.  Ranching ain't easy.   Santa brought my 10 year old his first tool box loaded with the essentials.

Um, isn't that the tool box you meant to send me for Christmas?  I think we talked about this on the phone.

Kidding of course.  I'm a little jealous.  Since I dont really need the tool box bottom, I mainly want a rolling option for the top to try it off of the work bench, I'm just going to frame a stand out of wood and put it on casters for now.  Going to design it to roll over too of the riding lowers me thinks. 

What's in the upper left of the power tools drawer?  Light?

LOL...I was going to buy 2 of these or one larger one as a main work bench...but decided to get the Gladiator bench and slide this under it...if I need more space, just roll out the tool chest.   My 5.5 foot double stack box was busting at the seams so I wanted to get this completed...the work bench that was here before was 8 ft long and just took up too much space, plus I gotta start thinking 3rd car in the garage soon.   

Yes that is the older Dewalt 18v flex light, I am going to convert it to LED now that I have those battery adapters.   I will snap a photo of the two tool boxes so you get an idea what i am working with.   Garage is a mess but we did free up a lot of space.

There is a lot of Crown in that diet coke.    :yoda:

At the time of this photo, i was not....but I am now on a cycle of Omnicef.   I was taking the last cycle of my Mexican Amoxicillin but that was just holding it off until I got some real stuff in the blood.   We are back in Mexico in June, I will be picking up several cycles of Antibiotics.   :)

This is my 5.5ft double stack tool box.  It is a 15 year old Costco stainless...I think I paid 600 for it back in day.  It's only 20 inch deep.  Works great, just over full. Totally needed more storage.  Still moving some to the new box, got 3 out of my 5 detail machines in the new one.   I till try to make room for the Makita and Dewalt but they are in bags up in the attic.

My two heaters.  The buddy heater is great for the blind....the Master is a 60k BTU I picked up this week.   Took the garage up 10 degrees in 7 min.  I highly recommend.

What is the square footage of your garage and how high are the ceilings?

I dont know actually.  I think we are 10 ft maybe 12 ft.  Its an odd 3 car oversized.  Our GC was here today and we are talking about additional garage in 2 years.
