Craigslist score--storage!

[alex71]

Picked up this WWII era parts cabinet last night. The thing is stupidly heavy. I don't know what in it weighs so much, but its 200lbs if its an ounce.

Has a hinged door that has slides on the right. swing it open, give it a push, and it slides inside the cabinet to be out of the way.. nice.

the guy who owned it bent up a bunch of drawer dividers out of aluminum... here you can see an empty drawer, plus a few different configs with the dividers.

And here it is, in its new home....

Can you spot waldo?

Now, to fill it with stuff... and look for more, because there will still be more stuff than there is space.

Very nice...love that old stuff! I almost pulled a muscle just imagining moving that thing!

I do have a question for you...after you open the door, does it slide into the cabinet? Or did you remove it for ease of use?

That is a very cool box. I have found older card file cabinets like that and never thought about bending aluminum to make little dividers like that. Now I know...

-That's great, I don't care how heavy, every garage needs one.

I've scored a small drawer cabinet off Freecycle I collect today. I hope it's half as nice.

Ahh, I just read your sig. Now I know why you need all the parts storage! Me, I just turn wrenches on my 2 vehicles and the toys. I DEFINATELY don't have room for that much parts storage!
