Thread: We Have Skills Too !!

Another project i did on my Saturday. I do my woodworking on the driveway, just outside the garage. I use a 4ft x 3ft table top on folding saw-horses and needed a place to put my smaller power tools closer to the garage door so i dont have to carry them as far or in between the cars.

So i made this cabinet with sliding doors and a shelf above it for storage. I keep parts radios and pieces in the cabinet and my buffer, scroll saw and belt sander now sit on top of the cabinet.



Its on shelf brackets plus screwed to the wall over the top of my compressor. Im happy with the way it turned out.

Out with the old leaky crane.

And in with the new.

A higher clearance at the taps will make the shave cave even safer..
Still cleaning up excess silicone.

It doesn't take much skill to tie a bit of paracord to a snap on a cheapie toolbox and then to the handles so you stop losing the snap.

But I figured with my luck the damn knot would loosen and I'd completley lose the snap so I 'glued' the paracord once I had it in place.

I just grabbed my torch and slowly flickered the heat over the end until it was melting into part of the knot.

I don't think that Eisenstein has anything to worry about.

You don't have to heat it up enough to melt it into another part of the knot.

Just get a little flattened ball on the end and it won't pull through.

Used very often in archery.

Sound like a Great Idea but as I said---"With my luck" So better to be Anal than Sorry

What is the snap?

What I'm using is an old 'snap' from the swivel that was on a garbage strop. But for visual purposes here's a 'type' of snap:

OK, so what is the reason for attaching a snap to your toolbox?

My friend, as I said at the start---It's a Cheap Tool Box. I guess I should have said a 'Portable Tool Box' one that would open up without having the 'lock' being secured by the 'Snap'.

My apologies for any confusion.

Got to do what you got to do. But I know the feeling when the clip gets lost.
