my new "custom" (homemade) toolbox cart thing

so i got bored the other day and got to thinking how much i hated my old toolbox cart so i made this. It's just a lawnmower frame with some axles tabbed up underneath, and some brackets made to hold my massively heavy vintage Snap-On box. I took the work bench (if you can call it that) and the boxes off my old cart and mounted them along with an air compressor and not pictured a sound system. It works immensely better than the old one did lol here's a pic or two before i had it 100% finished. I also needed something that i could roll around outside or pull behind a mower or whatever so that's why it has the offload(ish) tires on it.

Where's the engine? You mean you actually PULL that thing around? Next project - adapt an electric scooter motor and controls to it!

that is actually the next thing to happen to it lol. For now, i'll just use the ol' two steppin Cadillac to pull it around. It actually rolls really really easily.

Looks good. Here's where I'm at with my garage: When I look at your picture, then think of my garage, I look again at your picture and say: "Mess? I don't see a mess....."

That is the important thing. In playing in the garage and shops for 30 years finding something that works is beyond dandy. The more I look at it the more I like it.
