My wife saw this today at a local Pioneer history museum:
Apparently nuts and bolts and other assorted hardware.
Two minutes.
You’re slipping.
(Thanks, that looks exactly right)
Not that I gave it much thought, but I wouldn’t have expected triangle shaped drawers.
How else would they fit in that volume? Unless half of the drawer fronts were dummies, I suppose. Though now that I think about it that might be more useful.
I want that.
A tad classier than the rows of coffee/tape cans my dad used to have in his workshop!
How about baby food jars with the lid nailed to a rafter (floor joist if you’re in the basement) then you screw the jar onto the lid? And if you’re Special Agent Gibbs, you dump the contents on the work table and load up on bourbon.
Ha, I still have metal Maxwell House cans of nails & other stuff, and glass jars of screws and various hardware that are 50-plus years old I inherited from my dad.
My dad thought he was so funny (he usually was!) The piece of masking tape on the can containing nuts read “Dinsdales”!
I was born in '46 and remember my Dad having a hardware jar of mixed nut/bolts/screws. It was a glass Barbasol jar. Probably from 1925 or so.
I keep that sort of stuff in something like this:
Took a whole day to label up the thing, but it was worth it.
Here are a few of mine (I have many more not in this photo).
I would still prefer the antique one.
How can you get anything done with such an organized workspace?
You haven’t seen my desk…
