I carry a range of nutserts in the car.....you never know....
Being able to install them without special tools is handy.

Is that why I haven't seen a S&^T box Hilux getting around?

What's supporting the drawers at full extension? Drawer runners or friction fit?

I had a heap of trouble supporting a new to me fully extended timber kitchen at Xmas with a hobo swagger resting full drinks in the end.😁

Hey Oldmate, some of that cabinetry looks a bit twisted and out of alignment, I know a couple of good chippy's that could fix it for you  :angel: :angel: :angel:

with that amount of weight in them, and no top to  it, I doubt it would be friction fit, or it would go **** up in seconds!

Yep, traded in on the van mate.  Lux was starting to be unreliable. not good for business.

Drawers slide on boat trailer skids. Have 2 on the bottom and 1 down each side to keep them straight in the carcass. I added to the front of the carcass a bit of 70x35 to both sides, so when drawer comes out it just holds itself up. It hangs a bit lower at the front, but its only for getting to tools.  Dont have to cook dinner on it  ;D.

Yep a bit of weight in them, but the 70x35 seems to work at this stage.  :D

While you were away today getting long things put into holes that probably weren't designed for it, I stopped in and saw your wife. Cheers for that.

Have started on the list of machinery and tools to sell when I get beck from next trip to work.
I used to have a 15 x 7.5 meter shed full of gear, for 5 years now it has been in a container.
Reality check has happened with the new year. No longer happy with it all in storage so I am selling it all, and the container.
I seem to have found a few extra mates all of a sudden....  All sniffing around for what they can score dirt cheap.
I'll be advertising it all on Gumtree and shall be letting you guys know also. Here's a taste of what is to come.





Good news is I'll be able to fund a bit of tinkering with my garage here and make it more of a shed, mat even buy a real good welder whilst I am at it.
