Well, after being a World Class Lurker I thought I would post my latest completed project. I took the plans from a Shop Notes magazine . I was spending too much time looking for hardware, fasteners etc. so some form of storage seemed like a good idea. Now I just have to find some printable labels and get it all sorted out properly. My next project will be to tackle drill bit storage . Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Get a Brother P-Touch Labeller. Even the cheap ones make nice labels. The better ones are not that expensive and offer PC USB connectivity and tape width up to 1"
I have the PT1280 which is a middle line unit.
Tapes run about $10 and I have not yet used one up, Start with 1/2" black on white. Later get 1/2" black on clear (this would llook great on your green bins), both very much used. I also find 1/2" white on black is useful for electronics. Comes in many other colors and widths.
Nicely featured labeller for $32

These are a million miles ahead of those old Dymo label makers. and those ones with the big 12" wheels. Give you very professional looking work.Last edited by LCHIEN; 09-22-2009, 05:51 AM.Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Very nice indeed. It beats the plastic drawers I have screwed to my wall. I second the recommendation on the P-Touch. I got one free with a Brother laser printer and never thought I'd use it. I've found it to be indispensable.Chr's
