Might have been too.
Oh well i got the nutsert tool now anyway
They are a great solution to allot of attachment issues when it comes to sheet metal

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

Between working, I have been building new drawers for the work van

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.😁

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.

Made a billy cart for the kids out of some bits and pieces. Of course every tool just about had to come off the shelves.

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.
