Woodworking Tip

Woodworking Tip
Do boards slide around when you load them in your truck or car and it’s a pain to tie them in a bundle? Get a roll of stretch film (available at the tape department of most lumberyards) and wrap the boards together. It’s great for bundling dowels, molding, and other thin pieces too!

Flat file map cabinets make great workshop storage
Recycled for workshop storage. I purchased two of these 5 drawer map cabinets. They are big! Too big for the house, which was the original destination. They are 48 inches wide and 36 inches deep. Two units stacked on top of each other makes a height of 36 inches.

Utility Trailer construction tools storage cabinets

It was a full 4 liters so I couldn’t through it out. 🙂
