From Stinky to Pinky

[Bull]

Ok, the box wasn't actually "stinky" to begin with, just dirty and rusty. But I wanted a catchy rhyme to draw you in.

Before:

After: Sorry for the poor lighting in these photos.

Nice "pink" box

 

[Bronson]

BULL!!! Be VERY careful, make no sudden moves, there is a Panther in Your shop......

 

[BackTracker]

Nice "pink" box

 

[ncfh]

Oooh I like! I like!

 

[wornoutoldman]

Let me guess it goes on the "workbench" and only contains battery operated tools.....

 

[Moose-LandTran]

That title and no pic with a shocker in it? Disappointed.

Cool work on the box though.

 

[Joe B.]

My three year old would love that.

The color is an excellent theft deterrent.

J/K it looks great!

Yup, no self respecting tool guy would ever steal that box. Unless you happen to be a moderator on GJ. Nice work, maybe you can get a deal with Mattel, they good do the Barbie garage with pink tool box.

IF SO can do the pink, Bull can do the pink

Moose would rock the pink.

Pepto Bismol Pink. Interesting choice.

Looks like it might originally been painted in some sort of dark grey wrinkle finish paint?

What was the motivation for that color choice.

So, the little one got to play with it yet?

No surprise, my BFAM

Oh yes. That's why those three wrenches are in there. I'll have to take it away again shortly for Stage Two, though.

Sort of black, maybe. I believe it was an old Stanley box. In one of the pics, you can see a heart-shaped logo with Made in USA under it. I have been told this is a Stanley logo.

I have a twin to it labeled Craftsman. That one is kind of deep-bluish. It will not be turning pink.

With poor lighting and a flash, it looks Pepto Bismol. In person, it does not.

This box will be perfect for my knitting kit and my crochet supplies.

 

[Virgil Cain]

BTW, it's got to be said .........

That toolbox looks absolutely

 

[StinkyBunny]

Did someone in here call me?

 

[Bull]

Oh, sthop, you sthilly sthilly man! <tee-hee>

I see in one of your photos that you had close cat supervision - that insures the job was done correctly!

Yessir, Shadow was on-duty as a QC inspector. He gives the whole affair a paw's-up

 

[devildog101]

That is a very interesting color. I bet you have an original there.

The fellow at the powder coating shop didn't have any pink in stock. I had to order 5lbs of it for $80, which is the minimum quantity he can buy. He said it probably took less than one pound to do the box. I told him that maybe he would get a rush of people looking to get stuff done in pink, so that he'd be able to use the rest of the powder. He said he hoped that did not happen.

Maybe I will bring him some more stuff.

 

[sk farmer]

this thread is funny.

 

[KermitFrog]

Nice, I painted my daughter's car that color then she asked me to sell it for her. Excellent theft deterrent - paint (or powder coat) all your guy stuff pink!

 

[B17E1943]

You gonna keep your Hello Kitty collection in there?

 

[dieselmike]

hahahahaha!!!

 

[btbsandman]

Bull! Pink seriously!

Are you smoking some dank weed again and not sharing!
Im gonna ask for a drug test.

 

[4x4gearhead]

You could start a business refinishing boxes and catering to metro-sexuals! Omg seriously Im a genius, I would like a 5% cut for having the idea. But nice rework man, looks good.

I would pass that drug test. Never even tried a single illicit substance. Not my thing.

So, the pink was chosen with the use of my full range of mental ability...whatever that amounts to.

 

[fflintstone]

Bull, I find it hilarious that nobody here has figured out the real reason for the pink. I find the many gay and metrosexual comments amazing. Some people are truly clueless.

I've figured it out, I think. He painted it pink because every man needs a place to keep their ... jewelry?

Then I might take a couple points off your man card.

LOL! :

I was thinking the very same thing.

Perhaps bull can keep his scissors in there...





Hahahahahahaha.

 

[richfinn]

Is it a present to a female

or it could be a toolbox for a Desert Camo "Pink Panther" SAS Land Rover?

[fatfillup]

I think Bull is letting us know that he is so confident in his Heterosexuality, that he can have a pink tool box on his bench and still be a man's man!!! I know I look up to him!!

 

[ehegwer]

Mary Kay would be proud.

 

[franzdom]

Very Metrosexual Indeed

 

[LawnDart79]

When I read the title of this thread, the first thought that came to mind was pornographic.

 

[neonnblack]

You guys are a bunch of haters, Bull will soon be closing his own thread because of it. Good job bull, it doesnt look bad IMO.
