Garage organization + update


Hello World,

in the little spare time I have I am attempting to get the garage in order. I brought my tools with me but have no place to put them. I did take my old tool case from when I was a copier repair person and turn it in to a kind of fix it kit. inside are the basics.

6 way Screw driver (very handy)
hammer
Allen keys
adjustable wrench
small drill bit set + driver set
cordless drill
cordless impact wrench (my new favorite tool I highly recommend one)
pliers
ear plugs
gloves
tape measure
little wall hanging kit (drywall fasteners / picture hangers)
sharpie
pencil
torpedo level

that's about it

the idea is any time a project or chore needs done I grab my basic kit that has all the essentials in it all ready. so far I like it a lot. a cheaper tool box would work fine for most people I just happened to have my old tool brief case laying around.

I have one side of a tool bench built my hope is to make a sturdy bench that sits on big legs most of time but has casters (wheels) that lower so it can be easily moved. I have had lots of ideas on how to do this most would work but I'm not quite happy with any of them yet. I will end up putting the bench together and adding the casters and some point in the future. I would also like to build a smaller cart that holds my chop-saw at the right level so I can use the work bench as a feed table for it.

I am moving along at work. I am having to put in lots of hours to accomplish the things they want me to but I should be able to qualify by mid March. Time commitment should drop a little once at that point. until I get my first class.

I will stop this post before a ramble more maybe I'll try to do another one on different topics in a few days
