It's finally done!!!!

[84TurboBuick]

I finally finished my toolbox today!!

Instead of finding the old thread I figured I'd just start this one with the pics of the finished thing....

So here goes........

So after a long journey and much time and effort, I gotta say I'm pretty happy with the finished result!!

Thanks again to everyone who gave me a compliment and I hope you enjoy the pics!!

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Dude, that's awesome.

 

[MalibuLX3]

That looks great! I bet that thing is nearly as heavy as some of the metal ones!

Just curious through, what made you decide to paint it instead of possibly stain it?

Have you already got the whole thing filled? If so, lets see some pictures with the drawers open!

 

[usmc_noma]

damn that is stout. how much does that weigh?

 

[Bull]

:hitit:

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

Now that is a toolbox to be proud of! Well done and thanks for the update!

 

[sprint7]

[tonydanzah]

[MalibuLX3]

Wood

Here is the original build thread. Started My Toolbox!

 

[ukvauxtech]

sweeeeeet. from the pics would have sworn it was metal.

 

[jeepnut24]

Nice!!! I would like a similar one for my tools. Any open pictures?

 

[84TurboBuick]

sweeeeeet. from the pics would have sworn it was metal.

Thats what I was going for!!

I am going to post all the drawers open in a minute.....

Stay tuned!!!

 

[48548]

That thing is great the, you are one talented person and I would really take pride in that tool box.

 

[chksbak]

that is real nice.

 

[Monte]

[chadster1]

Dude, you rock! That is one awesome tool storage solution.

 

[VegasBruce]

Sweet

 

[84TurboBuick]

I'm glad that people think its made of metal!! Thats exactly what I was going for!!

Ok... I had posted all the contents in the old thread, but they were all spread out.... so I'll re-post the pics of the drawers...


The pics are from left to right, top to bottom....

1st Bank........

2nd Bank......

3rd Bank.....

Well, there it is!

6 months of work, and 20+ years of collecting tools.

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

WOW. That is fantastic; something that I would be proud to have in my own garage. What did you use for slides?

Adam

 

[Monte]

bling bling !!

 

[mooman]

Impressive!! Great job!

 

[wrenchr]

Very nice!!!!!!! That turned out perfect!!!!!!!!

 

[blueflame6]

Beautiful..........wood is sooooooo sweet !!

 

[84TurboBuick]

WOW. That is fantastic; something that I would be proud to have in my own garage. What did you use for slides?

Adam

I used 28" 100lbs rating ball bearing slides.

The only one I have to double up on is the 1/2" Drive drawer!! Let me tell you, that thing is heavy!!

 

[rakesdl]

You did a great job, that is suweeeeet!

 

[Elroy]

Nice hand tool selection. No wonder you built yourself a bank of storage. Most excellent.

 

[Thumper]

Thats just kickass.........excellent work !!

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Where did you find the ball bearing slides? How much were they? What was their original application?

I was thinking computer servers, etc. Something like that.

Lemme know,

Adam

If I were a shop instructor, I would grade you an A+++. One question, with the tools all loaded in, will it still ROLL? If not, and you remove two big hammers, will it roll?

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

The tool collection is just as impressive as the box!

84Turbo, did you, by chance, keep track of how much the materials cost for the box? I'd be awfully curious to know if you did.

Can you post some side angle pics of a drawer open, so we can see the slides?

And, of course...absolutely outstanding job!

 

[charlie_nj]

Awesome job. That came out really great. If you don't mind my asking, about how much did it wind up costing (not counting the 6 months labor, of course, lol)? I'm guessing the biggest expense was the drawer slides.

 

[lhymes]

Wow. This looks great! I built myself a bed a month ago and was looking for a new woodworking project to start on. I think I'll have to get to work on a workbench and toolbox combo. You've inspired me!

 

[bushhawg73]

Looks great, the box and tools.

 

[xstubsx]

thats insane.

 

[mikevango]

very nice work! love the tool selection!

 

[Eddie 70]

That is very nice. It has always been one of my ideas to have a nice big tool box like this so I do not have all of my tools crowded on top of each other. Nice work and it does look awesome. Now I have to go read your other thread to see how you did this.

 

[Kjbakke2]

[RLRRLRLL]
