I'm going to check on some of those HD bins. I am going to move my shelving from the main shop to the storage stall once my bil gets his garage repaired and takes his car home. I think that half of your idea would work as an endcap on the shelves

Thanks for stopping in JIM. Yea the bin's are pretty handy, they come with a mounting system or you can stack them on their own.

You never have enough extensions sometimes.

Flea market finds or even better found in the road and followed you home?

Thanks for stopping in captain14, got them off ebay so spent a little $ not bad though and they are snap on!

Thanks for stopping in don long, Yea Don ever since I got a license I always liked having a bike for the economy and the thrills of course. Cool to see you and your family rode together, that was one of my favorite things about off roading was seeing family's riding together . I used to ride with a husband and wife and their son it was a blast. Thanks again for stopping in.

Really like all your bikes and other garage toys! I bought a 1974 YZ125 back in the day, thinking a smaller bike would be easier to learn MX on, lol! After spending twice what it cost modifying it before I even rode it, got to ride a friend's 400 Maico. Went 5 sec faster a lap than on my 125 and only had to shift 7-8 times instead of 200!!

Neat idea, I have tons I need to organize somehow, but I'm short on space for this. My telecom client throws so many of these away.

Thanks for stopping in. Yes it is nice having them organized in stead of cluttering on the end of the bench. Not perfect or permanent but better.

jon04 thanks for stopping in and thanks for the nice comments. Yes that is a 86 gt, I do not have a lot of pics of it yet. She is a bit rough but I have some parts for it, so maybe this summer I can get some work done to it and make it more presentable.

Gave it some thought and decided that adding my zip-tie holders to my nut&bolt storage made sense. turned out ok I think.

Hey Kev
You are forcing me to rethink my tie wraps. They are in bundles lying on a shelf in a cabinet. Every time I want one I end up pulling 3 or 4 out of the bundle and it's hard to put them back into the bundle so the trash can gets them most of the time. Thanks for the clever way to solve that problem.

Almost finished with the trailer. Just need to make some filler boards and tidy up the wiring some and put some tie down hooks on.

Nice work, I had a flatbed trailer :rolleyes: I used it to transport the main shop which was very useful but after that I made it disappear ;) What will you be using your's for?
