The Tool Tote

I made a new box for some tools.

I have a nice 3/8" drive ratchet set, and it sure is hard to keep it all together.  So this tool tote was an idea to make life easier.

A friend from church gave me a nice solid chunk of walnut.  I milled it out, and finished it with a few coats of tung oil.  It turned out real nice.  It looks more like furniture than a tool box.

I kept a low profile so I can tuck it away in my big tool drawer (as seen on Sept 2011).  It had to be less than 3.5 inches tall to fit in my drawer.

Slots are milled in for my custom made socket holders.  I have three different holders - 12pt, 6pt, and metric.

Sockets don't wiggle around.

Tools are snug.

Testing

I haven't posted much over the past month because the Google programmers are getting crafty.  Rather than using Internet Explorer for their Google supported blog, I now have to use Google Chrome.

So I am now using Google Chrome, and am testing out things in my blog.  Let's see if I can download a couple of test pictures now....

Wow - That was substantially faster than old IE.  I'm impressed so far.
