shop accessory?

Ernie Miller

>What do you all think? I have a chance to pick up a nail bin from a hardware store it has 21 removable galvanized bins that hold 50#'s of nails each I'm thinking I could use it to replace one of the work benches in the power tool shop. the cabinet is made of solid oak and has a 2" thick top. I'm thinking storage for plane parts leaver caps in one knobs and totes in another and so on I guess I could use part of it for hardware? that dosent sound like fun. Under the bench I'm thinking of replacing it with now just has electrical parts and misc. parts now. I think this could be a space saver.

>while you can. Shop storage needs to be robust and this looks like just the ticket. Imagine one of those bins filled with Bedrocks!

>Even if it don't work out, that is worth a try. If it doesn't I'm sure you could try it around for a small profit.

That's what I'd tell SWMBO also.
