I got all of the items pictured on my previous post - the 42" set.

I'd put them up against Kincrome or Sidchrome any day. They're made of heavy gauge steel, the wheeled cabinet weighs in at just under 100kgs by itself. Finish is excellent. The drawer slides are solid and the larger drawers are fitted with double slides on each side.
Thumbs up for customer service. Shane didn't have the smaller side cabinet in black so sold me the display cabinet at a discount. When he couldn't find the keys for that lock, he got a new lock and fitted it.
The display cabinet is brand new and unmarked but I suspect it may have been drooled on

I havent been there yet!

Thanks Geoff.

What have I started

Geoff nice tool chest

I have not regretted any of mine although I would not have the ones I have if not for my daughter working then at White International.

Only thing to remember is the more tools you put in the heavier they get. My 6 draw one I used to haul around myself till it got so full I'd have to pull draws out to move it.

Well, I brought the 42" set, got it delivered today after ordering it on Saturday.

As Geoff noted above, it is heavy gauge steel, really heavy to move around and that's without putting a tool in it.

Now my problem is to decide on what goes into it and where

I finally got my toolboxes out of the van after nearly 2 months.
I had to remove each drawer before I could move the boxes. If I hadn't been able to get the wheels on the big box, I would have had no chance.

Although they are not designed to be used in a vehicle (and I'd probably void the warranty if I admitted it), they stood up to being shaken around on some windy, dirt roads around here with no apparent problems.

Now I just have to afford some tools to fill them up

The Blue beast in captivity and the second pic is just for you, Ray

Apologies for the pic quality, it's the phone and the user are hopeless. I might talk the resident shutterbug into taking a few decent shots over the weekend.

Pat no problem you have to be desperate you see I passed on one of these for 1/2 what you paid for that. Some times I regret it you know the rest.

Now have fun filling it thats the best part which draw is for your pen turning gear

So is the GtG at your place this weekend with delivery of other new toy

Ah yes the other new toy, I spent 1/2 of Sunday making room for said new toy.

You are always welcome to view a nice warm, spacious shed

PS, no pen turning gear, I have put in my 2 36" straight edges in the long drawer.

Yes and your point is?

There is a nice comfortable space along the southern wall for the new toy, it'll be in good company, with the Thicky, Jointer, Dusty,Bandsaw & stereo.

Bugger, delivery is now the following weekend. That highly offensive 4 letter word is getting in the way of a good day.

But it means there is more time for me to check the layout of the new shed and maybe clean up the detritus in the old shed to make it a bit more presentable


That word starts with a W and ends in a K

Walk it off Pat or is that WORK to pay it off

Ok so this cleaning up will mean I'll fit through to yon shed now.

Not me, Fletty's been caught by his horrendous _ _ _ _
