DJR Posted April 2, 2020 Share Ok, it is done - but it's not a wallet! In these times, I don't need a wallet at all, or at best one for only a couple of coins. ABrooks, carrera4s, WrightJnr and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted April 2, 2020 Share Yes, the pen was a clue! It holds my sketch book and a couple of essential pens & pencils when I travel. Or perhaps I should say, "when I, hopefully some day, travel again".

DJR Posted April 2, 2020 Share So, in the interest of full disclosure, I'll show you the last "before lock-down" picture in the book. Remember, my name is DJR, not Van Gogh or Leonardo, or even Pablo! Luckily, for now at least, I don't have to make my living from either leather goods or art! (Yes, I know the dog looks like a mop that got electrocuted and that there are huge sperm crawling around on the beach! ) Edited April 2, 2020 by DJR Hairy, Ed-Zulu, Rocket-Boy and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffsVintageBikes Posted April 2, 2020 Share That's very neat work DJR, well done. Ever tried your hand at making a leather saddle bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted April 2, 2020 Share That's very neat work DJR, well done. Ever tried your hand at making a leather saddle bag?No, but I have plans for making something like this. And with my mostly shut down work, I hope to get to it before long. I have everything I need, but it will have to be in black, because I've run out of brown stain.

ABrooks Posted April 3, 2020 Share We recently moved and I want to do something different with tool storage. In the old house I had it up on the wall. I am now considering one of those mechanic tool cabinets on castors. I'm mainly considering this because I have woodworking, bike and other general tools to store. I don't have much space because I'm sharing a single garage with a car. How are your tools stored and what other options would you recommend?

carrera4s Posted April 4, 2020 Share Move car outside. (Sorry, this lock down thing has made me a bit short on fun entertainment ) My car is standing outside permanently for the past few months due to the woodwork! Mr ABrooks, have a look at this idea for small space tools storage: https://woodworkjunkie.com/small-workshop-storage-solution His video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhZMOnsVRds Also check out his other videos, many solutions for a small shop.

I don't have much space because I'm sharing a single garage with a car. How are your tools stored and what other options would you recommend?I mostly have mechanics type hand tools - stored mostly in a BIG rollaway - but I also have a few old architects plan cabinets converted to tool storage - 2A0 and A0 size - the only issue with these drawer based solutions are the depth of the drawers for larger tools - few electric hand tools will fit in these. I also have 3 horizontal filing cabinets - these work better for big tool storage, but are super hard to find - either new or second hand. I also have floor to ceiling shelving in 2 garages - this tends to turn messy quickly, but is nice to have and easy to find things - also cheap second hand compared to roll away drawer sets.

We are renting so I'm trying to limit holes in the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm specifically looking at a solution to store hand tools in something like a drawer system. The architectural drawers might be an alternative. Those roll away drawers are quite expensive but seem like a worthwhile investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
