[AT] OT: roll around tool box recommendations

[Indiana Robinson]

	I look wistfully at those big roll around units but have just become too attached to 
having tools hanging in plain sight. I realize that in many shops it is necessary to be 
able to lock your tools up to keep them from walking away (usually with co-workers) but 
except for a few years in a local factory I have generally worked alone or with son 
Scott.
	I have many of my wrenches etc hanging on an "A" framed cart with pegboard panels near 
the bench and work bay. It is a bit hard to describe... By being "A" shaped the tools 
hang against the panel and are much more stable than just hanging them on a straight up 
and down wall. It has a big shelf at the bottom inside and another smaller shelf higher 
up. There is a narrow shelf a few inches down from the top that holds stuff grabbed 
often. The "A" is not sharp at the top but is about 8" wide and that is where that top 
shelf sits.
	The guys that were here at CUBFEST 2004 saw it and a few others along. One of the things 
I like about it is that I can tell from ten feet back if the most common tools are 
missing and I start hunting. I keep saying that I will build a new one from scratch, this 
one just sort of "grew". "Maybe next year" (official motto of most farmers).    :-)
