Just got through putting shoes on the new breakfast bar stool legs. That is the downside to this modern day flooring, all the furniture needs felt or nylon shoes to prevent scuffing. Also the place where we got the stools forgot to tighten the screws holding the back in place on one of them. It required a T25 torx. I went crazy looking for my torx socket set. I rifled through every drawer, other boxes etc. until I realized they were sitting in plain site right on top of the tool chest. Dammit man!
I hate it when my tool boxes are all laid out, organized, and separated into like drawers. Then you can't find something in a spot where you KNOW it should be!! I do that sometimes too. In fact I just got home from running an errand for wifey. I stopped by theh Sportsman Warehouse and found a small plastic box for 380/9mil shells. I grabbed all my loose torx, hex, phillips, and flat blade bits in this box. Will hold about 100 bits. So now my special motorcycle bits are in the bike shelf. My bit collection is in the drawer, and my miscellaneous bits in the plastic storage box. Organization is not my middle name. But it sure is something I try to do in my tool box!!
Afternoon Woods! Done with my mentoring event, taking a half day vacation for the afternoon. My niece's school (Berthoud HS) is in the state softball tournament this weekend. Not sure if I can make it since we are busy with other stuff but she understands.
Don’t think I told anyone, Mom feel and broke her hip, just got out of hip replacement surgery. She hasn’t been doing well with her Parkinson’s disease of late. Now in OR recovery.
Afternoon all, TGIF
I have too many tool boxes
I had 4 tool boxes: 2 plastic, 2 metal, so I bought a 5th that has all the bits/sockets that I need - my go to box (it was on sale)
I then went thru everything else & made a 2nd good box of tools, bought a few missing sockets
3rd box is is mostly drill bits of all kinds, some sockets & odds/ends
2 Plastic will be other odds & ends once i go thru everything else
I then have a 5th wooden carry box that has all electrical stuff
6th small tackle box has all smaller drill bits & about 5 metal sets of drill bits
7th is air tool attachments
8th is plumbing stuff
Then I probably have 2 more smaller boxes, one has just hex wrenches
I worked for a clean out company for a while & the idiot boss was tossing tools in the metal dumpster & getting 8c to the lb
I took everything I needed or that I might possibly need
New 5' tool bench w/drawers in the garage has yet to be filled, it was on sale & the price on the new model was $100 more
Took the floor model, they did not even have it in the system, they had to add it to sell it to me
Blue paint was a mis-tint so it was $5, had to get rid of that green
