Here's the boxes I currently make a living with. It's a combination of several "shop built" boxes I've picked up over the years, and a Husky top box I bought about a year ago when I went from operator to mechanic.

The little wood cart is something that came out of one of the buildings they tore down somewhere, and was handy to wheel all over the shop, until I got the harbor freight tool cart. I keep all the most common things I use in the cart (my tire repair and electrical tools, hammer, screwdriver, few sockets, etc, and I try to keep the top empty to hold all the other tools I use through the day). The radio is attached, so it goes where my box goes. The red and white buckets are also fastened to the box, one bucket holds clean rags, the other catches the dirty rags during my shift (keeps em off the floor).

I also built my own "wheeled" stool. I used a few parts from a broken store bought unit, and a few used bigger caster wheels, and a steel plate to widen the stance to make it more stable, and the tractor seat is more comfortable to sit on than the original "dinner plate" sized seat. It makes it much easier on a tall fella to roll around a semi truck to check air pressure/hub oils/ and some grease fittings than crawling on the floor and bending over all the time. At the end of the night my back hurts less, and it takes less time to check the 11 axles worth of hubs/tires on a gravel train when ya can just roll right around it.

This is how I keep my stuff organized. Normally, the only way I ever know something is missing is when I can't find it. By using the foamboard (1/2" thick) and cutting slots and holes for my tools, with a quick glance I can tell if I have everything. So far, everything I made foam organizers for I still have, so the time spent was well worth it.

I'm slowly acquiring bits and pieces to build a bigger box. I'd rather spend a few bucks and build something than to buy something usually. I'm not the best fabricator, but I enjoy building stuff, so what the heck.

Brad
