Here is my new box with a cover that I got on eBay that covers clothes racks. It's light and keeps the dust out. My pole building is in the country and dust is a major problem. A couple pictures of my drawers. The combinations are a set of Craftsman about 15 yrs old and the Williams are a set I put together from a partial set and eBay.

This is my old set. All Craftsman. Bought new over the last 30 yrs. It now is extra storage and not so often used tools. Auto body, pipe wrenches, hack saws, tin snipes and etc. Several years ago I bolted the side box to the bottom then reinforced the side box and mounted the wheel out on the side box to help stability.

Got that from sears. I think yoga mat would work the same for much lower cost.

This is yoga mat. Hardest part is finding one in a solid color. Academy was full of turquoise mats with pink flower designs.
This black one was the rarest but least expensive. It was only $18 for a 1/2" thick, 24"x72" mat.

Reposting my box after having issues with imgur several pages back.



40" Classic series lower box and an old KRA top box that I got used. Got to upgrade soon. Going to get a HF rollcart to tide me over and then if everything is going ok this fall/winter when the Cornwell guy has his deal of buy a big box and get the big rollcart free I'm probably going to go with an 84" Cornwell.

After A LOT of inspiration from this thread, I finally have it together; for the most part. All to do now is fill 'er up more. But, fortunately I've got lots of projects ahead of me right now to keep me occupied instead of researching new tools to buy.
My thoughts are that this box will fill up slowly but surely, then eventually it will be stuffed. Right now it's like I can't fill up my tool box fast enough, but I know once I do I'll wonder "how did I get here?"
67" Proto Workstation in WHITE! Never seen a white Proto before.

Thanks. I've been waiting about 10 weeks for it. I upgraded from a Matco 4325. This one is a 6331 with a side locker that I need to get a pic of

I've got socket drawer envy. Glad to see some one getting close to the 250 lb capacity of the quad slides on the top drawer.
Is that a 57" box?

Yeah it's the 57" and it actually has two sets of 200 lb slides.

The sad part is that only some of his sockets. Ruger's box is one of the few I envy on this board

Yeah... :lol: That's actually true... That's about half of my sockets.

Made some socket organizers for the bit sockets and a prybar holder.

Did you take the picture of the pry bar holder during an earthquake?

Have a better picture of it, by chance? I am looking for ideas on making one myself.

Sorry, I'll get a better picture later. It's 1" angle iron bolted to the HF44 using the original holes. 3/4" plywood attached with some #10 screws. It works good considering it was made from some scraps I had laying around. Ideally, I'd probably make the top out of steel.
