I thought I would see a fridge turned into a tool chest. I was going to send you to the repurposing thread. I'm disappointed now

^ I also wanted to see a fridge used for tool storage.

 

[TOOL FANATIK]

I use my old Sears and roebucks freezer for tool storage in my basement. The motor in it is fried but the light still turns on when I open the door lol

Haha I thought the same as well. I was really intrigued.

Back in college when I was slinging pizza. I used to deliver to a guy that used an old refrigerator as a front door on his trailer. The guy just cut a big hole the back and had a little rod to push the door open from the inside. Cracked me up every time I went there.

Funny! I once turned an old fridge into a gun safe, so I was hoping to see another mad garage scientists work! I would TOTALLY turn a fridge into a tool box!

Though I've never met him, this man is now my hero. The Gandhi of bodgers.

Shut your mouth, spell check! I know what I typed!

I've seen people keep welding rod in old fridges to prevent hygroscopy.

You should send him a picture of a $10 HD carry tool box and ask for trade. The crazy thing is, he will probably get someone to trade him

Growing up my Dad had a dead fridge as a toolbox for the less commonly used stuff. Built wooden draws in the fridge part.

I've seen people keep welding rod in old fridges to prevent hygroscopy.

Stored welding rods in the lower freezer part with a 40W light bulb to keep them bone dry.

in my gunsmithing years I used a fridge with the light permanently on to "cure" linseed oil stock finishes. Worked like a champ ! The temp inside was about 130 F---zero humidity.
Only a ***** would negate a double walled insulated box with a sealed door as having many uses in a shop.

This is funny, I thought the same as everyone else. Growing up my grandfather had an old broken fridge he used for storing paints, tools, sandpaper.

Got me, I thought I would see a fridge turned into a tool box.

I use two old upright freezers and one old fridge for powder and parts-in-progress storage. Powders go in alphabetical order in the doors and the adjustable shelves are perfect for the varied stuff I work on. They're airtight and keep their contents dry.



Best part is I got all three of 'em for free. I still have my tool chest.

^^^ cool.....

pun intended

My dad has an old round top fridge in the garage with the door removed for storing tools and such.

Here’s one that I did a couple years back.

 

[BukitCase]

Here's my first dead freezer - nuthin fancy, eventually might replace the original shelves with something more adjustable - in the second pic you can see the "outhouse" light fixture on the bottom - originally had a drain hole in the bottom, covered with a little "mushroom", which I relocated to the top for a small vent, then a grommet for the wire to the light.

Originally had a 40 watt incandescent in it, worked OK but typically burned out once a year - swapped it out for a 100 watt "rough service", then fed it with one of the HF "drill speed control" (AKA scr dimmer) and turned the dimmer down to about half- been in service about 14 years now, replaced the 100 watter ONCE and still going.

I keep things that're expensive, delicate, welding wire, etc, in it - about 12 years ago my shop got broken into, insurance payout was just over $6k - would've been at least $3k MORE, but fortunately the crack heads apparently weren't hungry and were too stupid to think there might be something in there other than snacks or beer ...

App refused to show 2 of the pics, but you get the idea from the 3 that DID load...
