My
Toolbox..
This
is a Stanley roll
around tool box
I got at Wal-Mart
on sale about a
year ago. It is
how I keep organized
and protect my work
in progress. Before
I got this toolbox,
I kept my stuff
in shoe boxes, 1
box for paint, 1
box for spay cans,
another box for
tools and other
boxes for parts.
By the time I had
all my stuff out,
a half hour would
have gone by. The
toolbox solution
works for me. I
pull out my table
and toolbox in 2
min flat and start
working. And then
when I'm done, it
goes right back
in the closet hiding
my mess so my wife
stays happy, because
out of sight, out
of mind.
My
toolbox is organized
as follows. The
top compartment
is just right for
paint bottles, so
it is full of paint.
The lid holds some
light cardboard
I cut up and use
to hold my parts
as I paint them
and other flat items
such as the current
reference book I
am using. Of the
3 small drawers
I use the left one
for paint brushes,
the middle for Knife's,
cutters, and like
items, and the right
one is for my pin
vise, drill bits
and tweezers.
The
skinny drawer under
those holds some
reference books
and masking tape.
And the next slightly
larger one has my
weathering powders,
pipettes, sanding
sticks and sanding
pads, clothespin's
(great for holding
parts while drying),
and saws.
The
bottom drawer of
the top section
and the top drawer
of the lower section
hold my works in
progress. The large
bottom drawer holds
larger items such
as a bag of latex
gloves, small bottles
of thinner for cleaning
my airbrush and
paint brushes and
anything else I
can throw in.
And
the bottom part
of my toolbox holds
my compressor, equipment
sets for military
models, low odor
thinner for cleaning
my airbrush and
my painting and
modeling logbooks.
( I keep notes of
everything I paint
and how it comes
out. Writing stuff
down helps set it
in my mind and learn.
