Thanks Garage Journal for...

[doodah man]

convincing me that I needed a roll cab and top box for my tools...even though i don't have a garage. Thanks to my wife for letting me put it in our living room!

You must have one supportive wife

 

[briandrex]

If your wife ever leave you please instant message me! That is awesome! I need me some snap on in the living room!

 

[thesilverone]

awesome wife!

Off topic, what size wire did you use to make the wrench holders?

Oh yeah and your wife is really cool I am just grateful mine hasn't yelled at me for buying too much stuff.

I used 12 gauge copper wrapped around a 7/8" dowel. For the little wrenches I made the loops around a smaller dowel. I owe that idea to garage journal too.

Lucky man! My ex would have killed me if I tried to put my toolbox in the living room!

WOW in the living room, your wife is a keeper. I would be happy if it was in the basement, but the living room. Wow.

Great idea! I think I'll turn a tapered wooden dowel and make some for myself.

You're a lucky man to have a wife who understands...now talk her into letting you buy more tools, you don't have nearly enough.

Well, I guess that depends. If you didn't have a garage for your tools, and you had the tools spread out around the coffee table, or in a cardboard box on the living room couch, then I can see how one could easily get spousal approval.

Outside of that, yeah, you're one lucky man!

Time to roll your motorcycle inside....

 

[Snappy]

You've got a very understanding wife there & a nice caribou looking down over your box

 

[balane]

Is she going to be angry when you put the air compressor next to it?

 

[TonyCH]

Great wife and good looking box and tools too!

 

[TAftw]

I've often thought about this, some boxes are closer to works of art than a piece of shop equipment. Building one with big drawers and keeping it in your bedroom as a dresser would be really cool.

 

[SpeedyGee]

That looks cool just sat right there

 

[NUTTSGT]

The guys here are always more than happy to try to convince somebody to buy anew tool box.

I had been using a 26" bottom cabinet inside the house for a while. For PC repair or builds. I had a wrap around home office desk and without the wheels, it went under one part of the desk.

 

[zjrog]

HA! Showed those pics to my wife and the look on her face was enough to know that would be a bad idea. SHe tolerated my bike repair stand and bike toolbox in the corner, since she wanted to talke with me while I worked on bikes. But the roller box would be bad for me.

Neat neat idea for the wire and wrenches. Must give that a whirl tonight.

When I was going to marry my wife I had to move from my Apt. to her condo for a short time. Well after renting a storage unit I could not get my tablesaw inside that packed unit so it sat in her dinning room next to the dinner table talk about a conversation topic

 

[crewchief888]

years ago when i was still racing flat track, i assembled engines on a coffee table in the living room. but i had to keep my toolbox in the screened in porch at the back of the house.

 

[NUTTSGT]

LOL, I didn't even realize the tool box was in the house, I was too busy looking at the tools.

 

[USMCdodge]

doodah... go ahead and chalk that one up as a win.

 

[beardog]

I have a Kennedy Machinist's topbox on my dresser for odds and ends.

 

[young_buck]

I have got my 3 boxes and compressor in the bedroom, I don't have a garage either

 

[Steevo]

Well, zippity-doo-dah!

Nicely done.
