P-Touch Label maker, went a little overboard!

Rolling_Thunder · May 1, 2012

I added a 2nd tool chest to my workshop and rearranged all my tools and decided I wanted to label by drawers. So I hit the internet for premade label kits but didnt see anything that would work for the configuration of my toolchests Then it hit me that a label maker is what I needed So I started researching label makers and found a good deal on a Brother PT2030VP at imagesupply.com for 29.99 it was a newly released product and they had a good special on it, everywhere else I looked it was going from 60 to 149 bucksfor So I bought the ubit with 2 extra 3/4" tapes for 57.50 shipped.I checked today and the price has gone up to 69.99. Well I labeled both of my tool chests and just kept going. I labeled everything but my forehead!! :?)

good idea for when friends come over you can tell them to look for it themselves

Steevo · May 1, 2012

A little?

nehog · May 1, 2012

Wanna come over and do my shop? :rocker:

Wingnut65 · May 1, 2012

I bet the coffee gave you the energy to get it done. Nice work.

Abosolutely, my son comes over quite a bit to do work, this will make it easier for him to get ME tools when Im working on his stuff!! :?)

The canisters came from my wife and work! I hardly ever drink the stuff!!!

HaroRider · May 1, 2012

Nice, but was it necessary to label the computer? lol

good work.

LutzTD · May 1, 2012

very 5S, the label maker should have a label too. nice job, looks very organized.

admranger · May 1, 2012

Don't forget to label the wife, the son, and the dog.

I've been using a label maker too lately. Anything that is not in a clear bin gets a label and even some of the clear bins get them too!

barks · May 1, 2012

The burglars will be more efficient. Nice job, seriously.

ImportTuner · May 1, 2012

Very nice job; I can't believe you drank that much Folgers coffee ..

JTG · May 1, 2012

I like the idea of building a little cabinet for the computer. I'm sure it helps keep it clean when things get dusty.

NUTTSGT · May 1, 2012

Must have been bored one evening ?

Mercy · May 1, 2012

I have the same labeler. I love everything but the price of the refills. They have clear tape too.

5lima30 · May 1, 2012

Now I don't feel so bad! In the past I have been accused of being **** about labeling stuff LOL! Good work!

koditten · May 1, 2012

Let me know when one of your smartass buddies swiches the canisters around.

KO

I have an alarm system in the workshop so if the burglar can get past that and my Ruger they're welcome to it!!!! :?)

Where do you get your cartridges from? www.imagesupply.com has them for less than you pay at the local stores.

mmhouse · May 1, 2012

I have a smaller P-Touch that I got from Costco when they had it on sale. All the software is built-in, you just plug it into your computer and type in the label you want. I've used it to label all my totes, both in the garage and ones we use in the house for filing, etc. They're great little labelers. I haven't had to buy any refills for it yet.

It just makes it easier to get things and put things away! At least for me, I'm gettin old and have CRS!

I thought I was the only one with that mouse pad. I think your use of it as art is better than my use of it as a mouse pad.

Hasnt happened yet but I can see my son doing something like that! Luckily he's not on this forum!

GoodoleBoy · May 1, 2012

You labeled your folgers Coffee incorrectly "nuts/bolts" ect.. instead of coffee.

abstamaria · May 1, 2012

Rolling Thunder, I used a label maker too and am quite happy with the results. On the tool and storage bins, though, I used clear tape-

I have several identical drawers so labels really help. Quite useful too when friends are around to help.

bazzateer · May 1, 2012

Have you labelled the label maker?

I gave a label maker to a friend's young son and that was the first thing he did. Great sense of humor.

Nice job! I thought about the clear labels after the fact but if I change my mind they're easy to pull off!

my one buddy and his wife like to do that to my magnetic drawer labels when they pass thru my garage/shop

JMartel · May 1, 2012

My wife just bought one and went nuts in the pantry/office. Once I clean the garage I need to do some organizing with it there.
