Today in the shop (Bye bye bins)

Post by reible »

I was boxing up some bins that I have replaced with other storage containers. Looks like 50 of them but there maybe a few more hidden away and a few in use that will stay.

I had the side of a shelf unit dedicated to row after row of bins but they were not enclosed so all manor of dust, chips, bug, and what not ended up being mixed with what ever was stored. Then when I started moving things about they ended up being behind other things and then, well then I started on my new enclosed storage solutions......

Progress has been slow but there has been progress.

They are all nice and clean now too. Well at least as well as I felt like I needed to do. They are in a box destine to be in storage until I can figure out if any of my kids or grand kids want them. If not the Restore will be glad to take them I'm sure.

Broken drill bits?
Stripped screws and bolts?
Metric wood screws?
Diversity?

I like those ideas but the simple truth is that those red ones are the ones I got at the Menard's store a couple of years back. I have more of those and a couple of other gray ones still in use. Red, you would have to ask Menard's as that is what they were selling at the time.
