Nice new appartment block for Slim!  He can sleep in the deeper drawer, keep his spare bones in the smaller one...   :Lol:

Nice toolbox!  I picked up one of those from Harbor Freight several years ago (on sale, of course!).  It has served me well.  Lots of nice drawers for little tools.  It has certainly helped me keep my desk cleaner!   Well, kind of... it gives me a place for things, but I still have to put them away, which is the weak link in the system.  I'm not actually very good at putting things back.  I leave stuff lying around till I need something that I can't find.  So, I start putting things away till I find the item I'm looking for.  At which point I stop cleaning!  :ROFL:

But the toolbox is nice!  I can hardly blame my mess on the box!

wasn't happy with the tool box on the bench, decided it needed a better resting spot that would be more functional.. a couple sections of 14" laminated shelves (scrap that I took out of a lab that was getting redone) pocket screws and biscuits,, had to by the drawer slides and casters.. still need to make the drawer boxes but I can start putting stuff on the shelves..

Great idea, I might copy it!

I have some castor wheels, an old kitchen wall cabinet and a traditional toolmakers wooden chest.......!

managed to find the shop floor, bench and counter tops, still needs a bit more sorting but should be able to get back to work...  :cheers:
