Bike related project for me yesterday. As I don't have a dedicated bike-tinker-shed-workshop-mancave-hole in the ground I keep my tools (bike and other) in a collection of different boxes/toolboxes. This means that nothing is ever really organised or at hand whenever I'm working on a bike or fetling around the house.
This had to change so I started searching the interwebs for a sollution. Since I don't have a room/shed/workshop the sollution has to be mobile. More searching and finding lots of so so boxes etc. Enter DeWalt/Stanley Tough Systems: stackable, strong, big and a sheet of plywood.
I started with one box to see how it would work out for my bike tools and plan on getting more to organise the rest. The little 'shelf' will be drilled for holding screwdrivers upright and the trays will be filled with foam with cutouts for my tools. The two cutouts in the bottom are for roles of tape and tubes of lubricants.
Next step is putting on a coat of varnish or something and fabricating a steel rack in my bike shed (storage only, no space or electricity) to hold the box(es).
