Title: Tool Boxes / Work Benches
Post by: Bromono on Tue, 23 December 2014, 19:43:34
I got a nice tool work bench for Christmas this year and will be putting in foam inserts to organize my tools. Curious if anyone has a nice set-up they would like to share. Want to get some ideas.

I'll have to update with the awesome chest Badwrench gave me.    It does need some keyboard bling and stickers on the outside.  I had to epoxy cardboard onto the back because of my damn cats though.

I still need to assemble the tool box :P but this is what it looks like.

I recently made a workbench for a limited space in my room - had to be custom sized for apartment life in the city, so I used precut aluminum extrusions and plate. Still a work in progress adding various bits and pieces.. but here's a somewhat blurry (I rolled a 1 on the photography check) shot of what it look like now:

I think yours is more a toolbox, than it is a bench.

Adam Savage (known from Mythbusters on Discovery Channel) have a couple of videos on Youtube where he talks about his workshop and how he organises his tools. He is quite serious about that.. and is not only a connoisseur of various shelves and tool boxes but has built a few himself.
Adam Savage's Mythbusters Toolbox (http://www.therpf.com/f9/adam-savages-mythbusters-toolbox-78239) - a thread on another forum about building a replica of the one he carries around on Mythbusters. Adam himself provided a few hints and photos of his own.
