Re: My "Shop"
Thank you sir. Yes, long time spent on this project and the my masterpiece. LOL
I told you to take ride down there. You should have seen CB and me put seat in his truck. That F@CKER was heavy. I would have like to see you try to lift the Lista in my truck. Although, his shop did have a lot of nice items of opportunity. LOL.
You sir are a craftsman! This is perfect. See good things come to those that wait and have vibrant white walls!
Darn, darn darn. While you all were consumed in sand blasting, I could have loaded up.

I've been playing with the idea of either Gulf Shores, AL, or St Augustine, FL, something near next Aug-Sep time frame. We had a condo for a month in St Augustine when we retired, and really enjoyed it. Walk from the condo on the beach to a little place for BBQ and Beer. I need to practice being a beach bum again!!
Best Regards

He didn't have much choice, once through my gate he was headed right for it
.
Although I don't doubt he could spot one just as good as a naked miss April.
Hey Gerrard, I love the "wall of Craftsman", but how in the hell did you spot that. Even if it were closer by 50 yards, I don't think I could have made it out. (Unless I'm missing something from that picture)

Yep, he's a Craftsman , I'm a Lista, Vidmar, and a few others I haven't identified.

That's a great looking wall. For some reason - I resonate with just the simple things. Like the level hanging on the wall at the end (just squaring everything up maybe). 
Been lookin' in for a while - loving your commitment, or maybe that should be - you should be committed....!

Down here somewhere, and at the end of a wineglass.......

The Wall of Craftsman looks great, when you get them all restored/cleaned/polished they will look that much better.
Well Done!

Well, the Craftsman wall came out great. I agree with all above compliments. Lot's of hard work and patience hunting these down has paid off. I could see a cool vintage Craftsman poster attached to that end cabinet you have turned sideways.
Love all the drawers now lined up. You must be happy.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Thanks Lyndon. Glad to see you over here on my thread. Yeah some might think I'm crazy but on the other hand some people collect vices some people collect tools I've managed to collect craftsman tool boxes. My wife is so happy I'm finished with the wall too. I don't know how many tool boxes classified as means of a divorce but I was surly borderline on finding out. LOL.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Thanks man. Yep, that's either the fun or hard part? The cleaning, painting and restoring off all these boxes will take some time. Some need a full restoration and some just need a touch up. But you're right it will look so much better when it's all done.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL
Thanks man. A Lot of hunting and a lot of patience to find the exact ones to finish the wall. I'm really really happy and almost shocked that that I have all the pieces. I've been searching for months 3 times a day, 7 days a week on CL. I found 2 but deal didn't work. The other week I was at the point of giving up that I would never find them then out of the blue CB texts me now I have all the pieces. What a turn of events happened in such a short time. I'm so happy I just sat in the garage last night and looked at them and relaxed knowing it's done.

Full restoration sounds like painting is involved. Since you don't paint, may I suggest you invite CB and is SO to your house for the next long weekend. CB can paint and the Mrs' can go to wicki wachi or the beach. Out of the goodness of my heart, I'll volunteer to house sit for CB.

I'm thinking that since your the resident paint expert that I'll invite you over to help. If you do a good job I'll tell you where CB lives and where to find the goods. LOL
PS I can get the Fab 4 to help you out. Just don't let them on the Craftsmans. They aren't Listas and will crush under that load. LOL

Isn't it technically a "tool chest" not a "tool box" ? So I think you are in the clear.

So you want to be that way, uh. I'll bring my battery box down and crush that wimpy chain.

Great! I see another ER visit in your future. LOL!
Just an FYI there's poor cell service at CB house. So might want to call paramedics advance. LOL

Gerard,
The craftsman wall is a thing of beauty! You're to be commended for having such a specific vision and following it to the end, even if it did take several years. Congratulations on finishing it.
