    That is the best thing about them.

    If you want to hold saw dust in them, put a bag in them.
    We have chooks & I recycle the chook food bags as 'bin liners' to hold sawdust & offcuts.
    They are stronger than garbage bags.

    Default Milk crates

    Great ideas Clifford.


    My Dad made some lids for a couple of milk crates he has, a piece of ply cut to the size of the crate and four cleats screwed on the under side to stop the lid sliding around. But not only was it a lid, but doubled as a step or a seat without having to empty the crate and turn it up-side-down.
    Too many projects, so little time, even less money!

    Not a bad idea.... I have several weird size offcuts of ply in my scrap heap.

    The only problem with stacking 'em is that the tool you want is always in the bottom box .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Still better than being on the floor in the back corner behind a ton of other sheyet.

    I will eventually have shelves that will only hold 2 of the smallest ones stacked so not too bad.
