ohiofarmer 3,276 #1 Posted October 16, 2022 My buddy Jay bought an old school cabinet that he wanted to hold his tool boxes and organize the larger stuff. Maybe forty bucks at auction. One of the compartments held drawers that had a sliding device that I assume held index cards. Super heavy duty from another era when stuff was built to last. They are made of very nice mahogany on the faces with the pull handle perfectly fitted. You can see from the pictures how beastly they are, and they laugh at my wrench collection with no chance of being affected by the weight of I can cut one end off or reduce the height by running through the table saw. For now the extra stuff is organized by group. I still have my nice wrenches and sockets one layer deep so this is a game changer as I will continue to refine my storage. I might save a few with the wood intact for some recipe drawers for my wife. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got dozens of them inherited from my FIL that I keep all sorts of things in, and yes... tools too! (wow... I just googled "Cheese box" and come to find out they are 'collectible'! I'm going to have to sell them and buy new tool boxes! LOL! Edited October 16, 2022 by Jeff-C175 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a similar issue with wooden milk crates--the kind that had metal straps around the edges. A conundrum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
