benchmade had an awesome box for storage, but very expensive
http://www.benchmade.com/products/986251F

my machinist chest is about the same size but looks about twice as deep. the piece that slides out and up to hide the drawers is missing, and the front of one of the drawers.
it was my deceased step fathers grandfathers chest. was in rough shape when he died 4 years ago, when it was passed on to me

if that benchmade chest wasnt $700 retail, and discontinued i would be all over it. its blue :heart_eyes:

edit: mine looks a little taller. add one more drawer on the left side, and two more of the small drawers on the right side of that benchmade, and its pretty much the same set up

That benchmade chest is sweet but dumb expensive. Like most their stuff. :wink:

14

yeah, their stuff is pricey… but nice. had a griptilian that i really liked. went missing out of my night stand. at my old house when i had room mates…
edit: thanks! now i got restoring that old box on my mind again… wonder how much that will cost??

15

Just reading this is giving my shoebox an inferiority complex…. :frowning:

16

yeah my basket aint cuttin it. surprised no one commented on it or its contents yet.

sorry? Pulsar :stuck_out_tongue: If you do tackle that project you should snap a few pics in the process. would love to see that.

I collect cigar boxes and get really gorgeous ones to store my stuff in. I also have stuff in plastic compartmented containers and othe storage cases. I have odds & ends all over the place much to my fiances chagrin. :)

Nice metal lord. Is that an orange L10 I spy?

Cigar boxes is a good idea Johnny, thanks.

I’m with JohnnyMac on this one. I have a big collection of cigar boxes (emptied by me and a friend) and they make great nightstand boxes. I recently sanded and refinished a plain Acid Kuba Kuba box that holds wallet, 3 flashlights, some extra 18650’s and 16340’s, couple of EDC knives etc… Play your cards right and they are free. Cigar shops usually just throw them out. .45 lives in the headboard though.

I don’t really have a place as such. I’m pretty messy though, but in an organised mess kind of way. If I need it every day then it goes in my handbag (EA4W for scale >.<):

I bet you have to be pretty careful with all that glass.

24

I did have to… I replaced the thin glass with thicker after I accidently punched thru one of the shelves going after a flashlight that was falling… LOL

25

Yeah Dale - Your story was one of the ones that made me start storing them on their sides like I do now. I have punched through glass before and it was not fun. Have the scars to prove it.

Glad my clumsiness has helped someone!!! LOL :smiley:

That would be a lot of lights!! :bigsmile: I only need one though (light, that is). My keyring doesn’t count. :stuck_out_tongue: Okay, maybe two.
