I've finally gotten around to filling the toolbox up after it found it's permanent home in the garage. I couldn't be happier with the aesthetic. Green and black has gotta be one of my favorite color combinations and the wrapped panel blends perfectly with the top and the drawer bottoms. I didn't...

I'm looking at a simple TuffShed which looks like it has a wood floor.

I have an 8x10 concrete slab recently poured on the side of my house that I planned to use for a shed. It wasn't until afterwords I realized that I can build a 12x10 without a permit in my area so I definitely want one in that size. The unfortunate thing is this slab has already been extended...

Well unfortunately the local machine shop wanted to charge me 2 hours @ $140/hr to fab up a few simple lock cams. The combination locks will have to go on the backburner until I can figure out how to get some cam locks which will fit them. They use a square bolt coming out of the lock cylinder...

It's definitely green. My favorite color :P <a href="https://ibb.co/hVL4Jsx"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/vkVT61C/MVIMG-20190829-123719.jpg" alt="MVIMG-20190829-123719" border="0"></a> The combination locks arrived today. I'm having a local machine shop fab me up a pair of cams that will fit...

Hmmm it could be something specific with the 72" box. I know one thing I'm feeling good about putting in these combination locks so I don't have to worry about locking or losing my keys again.

Not a stupid question at all, but it's true. You can lock the drawers while they are still open and it lets you remove the key. The drawers will shut close and be locked. Give a shot yourself, just don't be a goofball like me and throw the whole set of keys in the top drawer.

Thanks for all the reassurance guys. I've had a few days to cool off and put together a solution to move past this fun adventure. Got some Combi-Cam combination locks on the way from Amazon. They bigger face will definitely hide my blunder as well as eliminate the need for keys so I can look...

Thanks, I think a little trim piece is all I need to cover up my mistake. The hole probably would only protrude a mm or two from the lock face. As far as the scratches, my plan is to do the whole top panel in a matte black vinyl so that it looks somewhat 'OEM'. I've removed the US General...

Unfortunately it's easy (and stupid) as it sounds. I had the key in the lock with the drawers open. I removed the key in what I thought was the unlocked position and threw the key in the top drawer and the rest is history.

Please go easy on me, it has not been my weekend. I took shipment of my 72" Harbor Freight rolling cabinet the other day, and proceeded to lock the keys inside within 5 minutes. I got my hands on a tubular lock pick and had no luck after fiddling with it for hours. I called a locksmith who came...
