It all started with wanting new toolbox



Then I wanted a new bench



Then I wanted a new tool board





Then I wanted some new tools (just some of them)







Because the Sprint is blue, blue became the theme so the vice, drill and grinder had to be stripped down and painted



Still got some tidying up to do and clean the car, then Ill be getting it ready for some 1/4 miles

That is smart. Just confirms how untidy and disorganised my place is.

What is the worktop made of?

I wish I had the space for that sort of organization!
Looks awesome bud, the light on the jack is a good idea in enclosed spaces.

I thought you guys might appreciate it. Its taken way longer than I had anticipated

Dont be fooled, I havent got a great deal of space which is why Ive had to get it organised. It was so cluttered that it wasnt nice to be in there, hopefully being comfortable with everything having its own accessible home Ill be happier working on the Sprint and get more done sooner

I seriously doubt it!
