Tool Chest / Cabinets

[steve_sordy]

The courier came on Tue to recover the damaged toolchest, but not to deliver the new one! The new one arrived today. Same courier, even the same driver.

The base of the cabinet has to be removed so that the toolchest can be removed. In the toolchest are the four castors, handles, bags of screws etc. The instruction book is sparse, but enough - just.

Here it is. I like it.

All I have to do now is to collect all the tools I have that are currently all over the place and put them in here.

The toolchest just sits on the cabinet. I thought they would have provided a means of bolting them together.

Yeah. Couldn’t wait and mess around. ?

happy days! Quick turnaround ??

Seems a decent bit of kit on initial inspection. Fecking heavy. 200Kg! I got the mini me version too. Between these two I should have space for all my tools and camera gear. Expensive but should last well.

It looks nicely expensive indeed. Is that shiny metal all stainless steel??

Problem is now you are going to need to buy more tools to fill all the drawers!

Looks perfect for keeping a lot of Pizzas warm for Rob's post lockdown party !

Very true! Luckily Park Tool were happy to share a few tools so sent me a bunch. Some really neat stuff (that I need to learn how to use!). Like this:

Sexy ! Better than my tapping away with a tiny hammer like part of snow white's service team.

The Cheeb 2 "I built an emtb for less than the cost of the tools to make it....."

You do know you're just pushing our expectations higher don't you ??

A nipple cutter and pin insertion tool...
Thought it looked like a sex toy from the beggining. ?

Kitchen showrooms always sell off their ex display units, and there are also companies that specialise in selling them, along with second hand kitchens - quite a good source of cheapish units.

Old kitchen cabinets are a great storage system. A number of my clients have chosen to install the old cabinets in the garage. It takes a little bit of planning but if they can be removed carefully the storage solutions can be useful.
Countertops can be custom-made fairly easily and cheaply to match your roller cabinets. I’ve made a number of butcher-block tops to fit and match in work areas.
Here’s an example of an L-shaped top I made for a fraction of the cost. Minimal tools required and low cost. (Flat surface, 2”x2”(1-1/2” actually)studs, wood glue, 2-1/4” wood screws, cordless drill, saw, hand-planer, a hard floor finish and some simple planing.

Your chastity belt key's not exactly convenient to carry around, that would require advance planning.

Well if you saw the chastity belt you’d understand my need for careful planning and better glasses ?.

@Rob Rides EMTB Need a beer fridge while you plan, it will help ?

 

[Doomanic]

Needs to match the other stuff though.

Did you do all the carpentry on your lonesome? Good job if so! As an FYI when we do internal wood cladding we coat/treat it with a fire retardant paint/primer/spray to meet building regs, as that shit goes ups like a bonfire if there's a fire - might be worth looking into!

Be cheaper and quicker to just torch it off back to original ?
