Daniel in California - Shop of the Week

April 30, 2008 | Filed Under Blog, Shop of the Week 

Anybody who works job sites or in clients’ homes can appreciate Daniel’s “shop”. Daniel is not just a road warrior, he is also the owner of 7FootSwing.com and produces… what else? Seven Foot Swings! Let’s hear from Daniel:

I know you like to see how other guys set up their shops or their layout and since I am a carpenter/woodworker on the go, I thought I would send you a couple of pics of my “command center”. It’s a chest that originally belong to a woodworker that worked on airplanes , and it’s rumored that he worked on “Air-force 1″ ( I don’t believe it) . I bought from a friend here in Borrego, and it was the best $50 bucks I ever spent! The chest was set- up for mostly hand tooling, and it took a while for me to find out what each little custom holder originally held, but I realized that I needed to retro-fit the chest to my needs starting with the removal of the casters. Now it serves as command central from the back of my truck, and I make dozens of trips to it everyday. What I am able to fit into this chest is amazing. All of my hand power tools, hand tools, and a modest hardware store ( that lives on the top) all fit snugly in the chest.

    Pretty sweet setup!

    I used to work as a low voltage electrician - so I had a pretty similar setup to yours that I build and put in the back of the truck. when I finally left the company - I brought all the tools and materials back to the main office - it was amazing how much can fit in those… as long as you organize it properly.

Got something to say?
