Gonna pick these up from work hopefully tomorrow. The logo on them says Art Metal, anyone know anything about these? Should be great for holding small hardware and such things. Each drawer has 2 drawers that you can lift right out once the drawer is open all the way. Pretty cool they are do easy to remove so you can take a drawer to a project if your not sure what size bolt you need. (for my uses anyways lol)

Not entirely sure how Im going to get these lol... They are really heavy, and all the drawers have some kind of stuff in them, from nuts and bolts to random hardware and supplies. Each cabinet measures about 18" wide, around 32" deep, and about 52" tall.
I can load them into a truck fairly easy from our loading dock, just not sure how Im gonna get them out at home lol! But either way I am not gonna pass on these for free!

These may have been for computer punch cards. These were paper cards with holes, this was how computer software was stored and loaded.

Here is a Lady and her stack of cards.
I like the glint in her eye. :):thumbup:

Lol I'm 6'2" and can reach 8ft no problem. However I doubt I would stack them haha. I have all 3 lined up along a wall right now, really liking all of the storage. Went and grabbed those 2 blue cabinets yesterday, whew they were heavy but got them alright with 2 people and a appliance dolly. My uncle's truck squatted about 3 inches after putting them both back there lol... also grabbed a few 120v clocks. Will wire boxes in the garage when I build it for them. Will be nice to not have to keep changing batteries on them!

I love free stuff, if I keep at it I will be out of room before my shop is even built haha.
I am certainly not trying to start a big debate about it, it was just an observation. I am 6 foot 2 inches as well and I can reach 8 feet high, but I would not be able to look into a drawer at that height and remove stuff from the drawer. But it really doesn't matter since you aren't planning on stacking them anyway.

You are right, free stuff is great, but the space it occupies does seem to add up pretty fast. I have gotten some cool stuff for free over the years and most of it I have ultimately given away. It was good stuff, but I have no room to keep it all.
