Storage Bins
This could go in a couple of places but I put it here 'cos it makes the shed easier to use.
I have (had) a number of places that I kept my power tools, some in a cupboard, some on the bench, some in tool boxes, some in their tied old busted asre original boxes.
I spotted these at Bunnies the other day.
The small ones are about $8, the bigger ones are about $9 & the tub without the lid is also less than $10.
The pictures tell the story.Cliff.

Here is another idea I got for storage.
I scored these for $1 each... apparently the branding is wrong now so where being disposed of.
There are good for holding turning blanks, off cuts, firewood, camping gear, etc.
I even have one with my Chain Saw gear in it, oil, fuel, tool kit, ear muffs, etc.
The chips can fall out the holes but so can small parts so the do require a bit of care as to what goes in them.Cliff.

Cliff, those "milk crates" for a $1 each were a good buy. Can never have too many of them.

Nice pickup on the bins and crates Cliff.
The lids are a great idea and should keep out dust and the mongrel mud wasps who seem to be able to "weld" a mud nest anywhere.
With regards your labels - could I suggest - get a pix from a brochure/website etc and contact a pix on the box as well - works easier for me.
Regards,
Bob

The labels are done in 36point font, I can read that without glasses.
I thought about cutting the pics off some of the boxes before I threw them out but then I got over it.Cliff.

Nice size Cliff looking at the A4 sheet not much longer how deep are they.
I have some old recycle containers the council never picked up when changing systems good for wood and tool storage larger type though. Also 2 deep recycle ones ideal for storing blanks or small logs.

Could come in handy for the move.Geoff

:those milk crate type things could be good. Pondering how to move the woodstash AND make it easier to move next time. (in a rental house!) I've seen them around with one side out so that you can get to the stuff in the bottom one without unstacking the stack!

The milk crate is a wonderful thing with so many uses. When I first arrived in Sydney in 1986 we had no furniture. I quickly discovered that with milk crates you could build a full bedroom suite, including a bed base and bed head (requires 20 crates), a wardrobe (with the addition of a broomstick) and a TV table. Then when you move house, all your clothes and stuff goes in the crates and you're ready to go.
There would not be a working guitarist in the land who does not have at least one. I had about 30 of them but over the years they have dwindled away and I've now got only about 10 or so."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

The shallow ones just fit a 5" grinder with the handle removed, a 4" grinder fits no worries, handle & all.
It is Clifton, not Clifford.
Every tool has a collection of 'bits' that goes with it & there just isn't enough space to hang all my stuff on the wall.
I also need to take some of my tools with me (out of the shed) to do a job so if it & all the bits that go with it are in one box, I just grab that box & sling it in the car.
I had to go back to Bunnies today for glue & some pots for the garden, I found the 54L (next bigger size, a bit like the one that I put my 9" saw in) with lids for $15 so I grabbed a couple of them too.
I'll get the dimensions & some more photos over the next couple of days.Cliff.
