Everyone's got one, be it a box, a drawer, or a shelf, you've all got that one place you put things that are useful when you need them but just not right now. [emoji6] The junk box as we call it here in the shop is that place that gathers the pieces that are too good to throw out, but don't necessarily lend themselves to being filed away in a proper storage recepticle.

My junk box (we threw out the large one cause it was too big, which only lends itself to hoarding stuff you'll never find again, particularly when you need it most) is an old box my uncle build in my Grandparents garage some 40-50 years ago. I had the bright idea for this thread when I knocked the stupid thing off the end of a cart, spilling all kinds of goodies onto the floor from clevises, a pair of big hinges, tent pegs, big 1/2" threaded cable clamps, gate lock, etc.

With that, here's mine. 4888c27d1fa1bd43b9b01d1f5a21aaa8.jpg

:lol_hitti I was just going to say, I don't have a junk drawer. I built an entire shop around my junk!

I would love to be able to consolidate all of my junk into a drawer!

I could either post a picture of a pair of my undies or just open the door of one of my shops and take a picture. (This post has been sanitized for your protection.)

When I brought home my boxes I emptied my junk drawers out and put into shoe box sized plastic bins. My boxes feel naked now.

I figured this would be the response lol. I'll get a shot of the cubbies later on, as that's where the true junk lies.

Man am I ever kicking myself for not taking pictures of the junk boxes/shelves/etc before we purged a bunch, I must have photos lying around somewhere, I just need to find them...They're around here somewhere...:headscrat

Now that looks like what I'm used to. I cleaned out a number of boxes of stuff just like that. Aaaaand then my uncle gave us a partial spool of 3/8x7/19 galv cable and an assortment of clamps, turnbuckles, etc, so it's a never ending process. Here's another junk drawer, I've got a few that have yet to be revealed. 2e5c2cdb75e0672e4b2e41897925345c.jpg
