Thanks! I wonder if the the drawers really slide easier over time or if we just get used to using more muscle for the firm pull :-) Thanks again for your insight. Super helpful.

Lookin, Thanks. I don't trust my painting skills enough for this. Instead, I put some draw liners on the bottom which will hopefully slow the paint from deteriorating and keep flakes off the tools. zkling, Ah! Very cool! This is great to know. I used two cable ties tapped together for drawer...

Hi folks, I purchased a KRA-59D (from 1980) with friction slides from Craigslist. Here's a picture of the outside on the way home: The top shelf is the crustiest/worst part. The drawers are nice with all their paint: All I did to the box is take it apart, thoroughly clean the slides...

Ah, thanks! Nope I wouldn't know about messing up with live circuits :-)

Can these be used to replace flush mounted fixtures or do rhyme have to hang from the chain?

Just found this thread. Enjoying it immensely. The barn/workshop looks amazing! Thanks for posting all the pictures and details.

How is that working out? Is it difficult to fill?

Been a Ballistol guy for awhile for cleaning guns. Will give Kroil a try on the Nast rust. Like at ATF/Acetone tip as well.

Very inspiring. Thank you for documenting so carefully.

Fedwrench, How do the KRA15A's stay in place in the drawer?

I just pulled out all of these and donated them to a local charity thrift store. They wasted way too much space for me. I am going to give Westling machine a try: http://westlingmachine.com/ToolHolders.html A YouTube review:

Your barn looks impressive. Nice light too, glad you were able to fix it.

These switches are pretty flexible programming-wise. I had four or five of them from 2007 until 2014, and they all gained a couple of minutes per month, so I found myself adjusting the time every 4 or 5 months. I pulled all of them out and went with a bunch of Smarthome switches and some...

Inspiring modification. Learned a lot from this discussion. Thanks all!

Interesting. Didn't see this post before I answered the question.

The greens are two different colors in person as well. Both tools were on a pegboard in the truck so maybe on of them faded a little? I don't know. Edit: On second thought/closer inspection. The color is too consistent to be cause by fading, and its uniform all the way around the handle. Its...

Went to my local Snap-On dealer's home (in the snow) for the green-handled tools and a spark-plug wrench. The other items were a used ebay find:

Treated the hardwood bench with a wood preserver (2 coats):

Because I like cool stuff.

soj, Not sure what to add that has not already been said, but that cabinet looks great, I am thoroughly in awe of the creativity and execution. I am a run to the store guy 90% of the time, so every time you reach for something give a quick thought to your fellow diyers sitting in traffic :-)
