mcmaster.com has 3/4-16 left-hand thread, threaded rods. That plus some left-hand thread nuts and a bit of welding might accomplish what you want.

This. The weight of the gate wants to turn it into a parallelogram where the top left and bottom right corners have gotten closer together. Pulling them together with a steel cable isnt going to help matters but "wedging" a piece of wood in there would hold them apart.

That would be true if it were a wood fence and the brace was wood too, but for steel it is right.

Very nicely done. I made something similar a while back using plywood (prior to ever seeing the Sortimo setup that Adam has) , mine only holds somewhere around 16 cases though. When I run out of space or move into another house, I'll probably remake it to resemble yours/the sortimo version.

Came across this while searching. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/OEM-3-4-in-drive-torque-multiplier/_/N-26vt?counter=4&itemIdentifier=191056_0_0_&target=shelf It's in the loaner tool section. I'd head to autozone and ask about it. Of course you would have to put a deposit down...

Torque multiplier. Used one regularly in the navy to torque nuts to 1000 ft/lbs by hand.

I bought a bunch of these http://www.harborfreight.com/19-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93928.html and a couple of the smaller size and larger size. Then I made a cabinet with slots for them out of 3/4" plywood and hung it on the wall using a french cleat. The small and medium size are the...

I have an older version of this which works well enough. http://www.harborfreight.com/8-piece-right-angle-screwdriver-92630.html

It sounds like most people who hate pegboard haven't been exposed to a properly done setup. Hooks fall off when grabbing tools...if you buy the cheap hooks (I use Durahooks, though Pegmates seem like a decent alternative at a lower price) Other tools fall off when grabbing tools...if you...

I'm sure the guy who cross threaded one of my lugs knew what he was doing too. I even got told it wasn't possible because the impact guns they use limit torque in the forward direction. Lost any future business from me. I bet they saved a couple minutes though. Sent from my SM-G900V
