Maybe a 10' X 10' - "tool crib" for less frequently used tools - like cherry picker, hydraulic press, extra engines, etc. Also some safety items: more than a couple of G I Joe band-aids from when your kids were young. Use a laundry tub for your sink & put an eye wash station on that faucet...

Hey SGBARRACUDA, I'd appreciate it if you could look for one. As a bonus, you're local... Thanks,

Looking for just the stainless trim strip at the top of a 1971 Scamp/Valiant/Dart grille. If you have a grille wiere the fins are broken, but the top trim strip is good, that is what I'm looking for. Thanks, Chuck

That sorting tray hasn't changed... HF still has that exact thing, only in plastic today. Still as useful as when your Gramps used it.

Couple more... This M2HB is inert. It goes with a 1942 Willys MB I'm rebuilding. The 01-Birddog hanging from the ceiling is a 1/4 scale - it has a 9 ft wingspan. Thats all for now. Cheers, 49T&C

I'll add some pics of the stuff that ends up in my shed. It's on the ceiling too

Think about setting aside one area for a 'tool crib' for things like engine hoist, floor jack & jackstands. pot sandblaster, etc. Also build shelves in there for tools you do not use often. It keeps them all in one area when not needed so you do not have to keep moving or keep tripping over...

I'm pretty frugal (cheap) and if I can find something for free and is really useful, I try to pass it on. My ACE Hardware gets their fasteners - like drywall screws, fence staples, etc. in clear plastic tubs approx 10" X 10" square with nice red lids. They dump their fasteners into revolving...

I have an old (60's) IBM punched card cabinet. Lots of drawers, but lacked organization. Lately (I'm smarter now than then), I went to "Jiffy Lube" type places and asked for the empty oil containers. They were happy to give me all I needed for free. I cleaned them out and then cut about 2...
