The better organisers - dewalt, Stanley, festool- are too heavy when they’re empty

I have some of the Stanley boxes, & not overly fond of them for similar reasons. Fine for getting lugged about, used on site etc., but for home/workshop storage, just a tad bulky & clunky.

I use these, when empty of course, ideal size and strong enough......

(I've messaged BH today to see where they source the boxes, be interesting to see if they reply).

Been there, done that. On the plus side, during the sorting process I rediscovered a number of useful items that I'd forgotten I had.

Yep, same here. I cut a bit of CHS for @Kram . Having a tidy up found another bit exactly the same size I'd forgotten I had.

I blame my age.

When I was sparking I always used the Raaco storage stuff, perfect for what I needed and stood up to the abuse, the ones I have now must be 20 years old

Can't tell by the size of they'll be suitable, but takeaways use a similar tray.
Costco (amongst other places) sell them in packs of 100 - with lids

If you mean the wall organiser tray things, they are excellent for small stuff,.taps, dies etc. Two of them have sorted out most of my small item storage problems. Black frame thing with pull out clear trays, mine are from aldi, this sort of thing.

Poundland and iceland do them. Only complaint is the excessive packaging on individually wrapped,tiny cakes. Quite a bit bigger than takeaway boxes etc.. I got one with both my spray guns and all related bits inside.

Yesterday but too busy gaming to remember to post, made the 6m of angle into 12 shorter sections of 0.63m/0.5m/0.4m with 45° ends (well as close as possible to those dims with a grinder) to weld into the frame for the jet engine.

Not a single 90° corner I'd comfortably bet on but it's done so onto mocking up and mounting everything.

She's a handleable heavy b*tch now

Costco do some bigger sizes - as do other companies that cater(!) for takeaway type businesses.

Jjfoodservices, I believe. Or bookers(?)

Some strong shelf brackets with a rustic look to support a recycled plank.View attachment 352911

Managed to red oxide and paint the brackets with an old tin of smoothrite satin finish using more of a dabbing technique to get a rough finish.

Roughly 8" x 6" x 2"

Bought this few days ago on Amazon

So today I've organised it as good as I could do.
It still experimental I'll have to make foam organisers once found the best location for the tools

Since doctor gave me a week from work cause of my kidneys I've spent my days cleaning and rebuilding my chainsaw , because I've had no time during the past months and I've got parts in January .
So a complete new engine Husqvarna 142 (40cc instead of the original 36cc on my saw)
Cleaned the transfers , reduced squish , cut higher exhaust port, mirror polished the exhaust port.
Modified muffler .
Used engine sealant on every single gasket or rubber parts on the engine to prevent air leaks .
New impulse pipe,new intake boot ,new intake ,new fuel line,new fuel filter,new carb ,new spark plug new chain ,oil pump.
I've already started and it seems to work ,still have to tune it and to break in (1 tank at idle,1 tank sporadic revs ,2 tank sporadic load and unload ) hopefully it will last .

This last image shows the muffler opening which has been enlarge , and the engine bolts which fasten it to the tank .
I've added lock washers and lock nuts and tighten everything because vibrations made them loose in the other engine causing problems

Tomorrow I'll start it up and adjust the carb on my little jonsered 2036(40) turbo (the chainsaw in this pictures)

After around 6 months of swearing Ive finished my oak tool chest! Made from offcuts from a local timber merchant which had to be ripped on my bandsaw which was an absolute nightmare. Its a long way from perfect but it works and it'll last hopefully

also all the knobs were turned from stock on my lathe which is why they're a bit wonky

The little name plaque is a nice finishing touch. How did you do that?

My partner cut out a stencil on her cricut machine and then used a dremel to etch the shapes, it worked pretty well to be honest I was very impressed

Well there's so something else I never knew I needed until now. This place is going to be the end of me.

That looks so cool
Any chance of some more photos ?

Today I made...

The discovery that the Jerry can nozzle fits the hoover hose! The original end is so worn down from years of hoovering rubble etc. Always a pita finding the nook & cranny tool and taping it on anyway.

Keep meaning to get laddo to print an adapter but haven't gotten around to it. This is a good stop gap. The fuel nozzle is both long and flexible.

 

[Kram]

I stole my vice mounting studs a few weeks back so chopped some new, reminded me about this chamfer tool I made, works perfectly.

Cylinders tapped m10x1 and started turning the adaptors.
