Thanks, it not much compared to many around this place, but it helps to get the job done when needed.

Wow what a great collection , I like the variety of all the different tools and boxes you have it kind of makes it more unique from a lot of the purely automotive based tools I see a lot. Thanks for posting that. By the way I like your socket set up just with the regular rails, but how did you set it up so all the socket rails stand up and hold the sockets straight up and down?

I used a piece of .040 thick aluminum sheet, cut to fit inside the drawer, I then had the sockets on the rails and then placed them on the sheet and used an automatic center punch to transfer the rail's mounting holes location to the sheet. I then used 8-32 button head screws from the bottom of the sheet up, then installed the rail on the screws and held it down with small washers and 8-32 nylok nuts. Since all of the rails are the same size, if needed I can adjust from 1/4" to 3/4" drive.

I started out as a millwright in mostly feedmills but have been a feedmill manager for 15 years but still like to jump in and help when we've got a big project going on never gets out of your system.

Yeah I really like that setup because you can mix and match as you choose and add as many as you like, thanks I'll probably try something like this.

The "millwrights" around the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma are often working at the grain elevators. We receive huge long trains of grain (wheat,corn,soybean) from the midwest for xfer to ships going mostly to Asian countries.
The dumping of the rail cars, elevating into those round bins, sorting, weighing takes massive conveyor belt systems.
Then the product is discharged from bottom of bins and through a series of conveyors put aboard ship.
These millwrights are part of the longshoreman's union (ILWU) and some of the highest paid in the country (IMHO)
