Tool Carrying Case

Recommended Posts

I am a leather hobbyist and normally work at a work bench in my man cave - where I also keep most of the tools I have.

However if I decide to go to the seaside for a break away, be that weekend or longer, I can't take the man cave with me.

I started looking around for a solution and found a cheap "aluminium" case with some barbecue tools in it. The latter was dumped and here is the result.

To create take out "tray" an empty plastic oil canister was cut open and a liter plastic container for the smaller stuff.

The elastic band in the lid was kept for obvious purpose - to stick tools in.

Now my workshop has become more "mobile" and I can take the essential tools with me to keep me busy with small to medium projects.

The only problem - don't overload the case. Tools are heavier than you might think!!

Cheers

I love your modeling spoon aka toothbrush. Really man I want to try my hand at a homemade skiving knife but I don't have the tools to do it justice.

Hi Joe,

You have a good eye for fine detail to pick the toothbrush up.... :thumbsup:

Check my post on the skiving knife - it's not rocket science.
