Toolbox

[Aussiesheety]

Gday guys, I've been reading this forum for a few days now and decided to join.

I'm a 4th year apprentice in the sheet metal trade, and I mainly deal with stainless and I work for a company that manufactures custom catering equipment, benchs, bain maries, hot press' etc.

I thought I'd show you my latest project I built for TAFE. It is zinc construction and has a powdercoat finish.

Nice! You've got some skills!

Great! I esp. like the bends in the small doors. Nice look.

Wow, very nice, if you decide to build more the link below sells bearing slides very cheap.

Correct.

Welcome Aussiesheety.

Why do some newcomers miss the intro section?

thanks for the compliments guys. There's about 8 hours of fab work in this. The colour is Signal Red, It's not quite as bright as the traditional red that is used on tool boxes.

Thanks for the link Lone Gunman, But I think I'm just going to take some drawer runners from work. We have the industrial stainless steel ones, Carry upwards of 30kg. But I'm trying to think of a way to attach the runners without to much modification.

I'm thinking about re-doing the drawers out of stainless steel? what do you guys think.

In the next few weeks I'll hopefully get a few pics of a few other things I've built. I just completed a pizza display bain marie counter.

Why do some newcomers miss the intro section?

Because it isnt really clearly there. I am a member on many forums and most welcome sections are on the main page. And if they are not, there typically isnt one. I totally missed it until after i was looking around a bit and that was after I made my first post. By default, if it isnt on the main page for me, I look for the most general forum to post it under.
