Guest mortus Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 thats actually a pretty good idea, although, another good idea, is in your shed, you have wooden beams holding the walls up (well in a lot of sheds) a good idea, is to nail a jam jar lid to the beam, then you can screw the jar to it, it holds it in place and you can see whats in the jar too.

LandyManLuke Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Along the same lines, the plastic vacuum formed trays chicken and mince (eg) come in make great trays for keeping nuts and bolts in as you take them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Anyone got any hints for making / scrounging some drawers - either little ones to sort parts like bolts into, or larger ones (like a tool cabinet for example) which can be subdivided with strips? I was thinking of dividing up either some map/chart drawers, or an old tool cabinet. Something with lots of large flat-ish drawers would be really useful. ?

Mark Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I have several sets on the 'A4' sized office drawers which can be picked up for sensible money - or free off the freecycle site if you are patient... They don't have especially good runners, so you can't load them up with cutters and the like, but they are excellent otherwise. hth Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 When I worked at the Ford main dealer I used to take all oil and fuel filter boxes home. Cut them diagonally and make bin boxes out of them. The cardboard must have been good because I left there in 1978 and I'm still using some of those boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have 5 drawers some have 8 or 9 some have loads. Any use to you. We need them gone or they're going in the skip. Sooner the better if want them.
