DIY tool caddy

Recommended Posts

So recently someone posted this link to the dyna-king tool carousel:

I thought was a really good looking product, but $70 was a little out of my league. So, I just decided to build my own.

 

 

Here is how it turned out:

I made it from just a few random bits I had lying around the house, including a small 8x10 nylon cutting board likes this:

I also used a busted hiking pole and some all-thread I had in the basement. Cut it all up like so:

And bolt it together:

Drill some holes and, Voila!

 

Sure beats the old one I hastily made from a piece of 4x4:

I'll add some bits of dowel/steel to stack thread on, but I'm pretty happy with it.

 

I probably have $10 in it all told, and I think it's as good as any you can buy.

Very nice. If anyone wants to mimic this, cutting boards are available at Dollar Tree.

Gotta love the creativity of some folks. Me, I have to copy from people who come up with these ideas.

Very nice job!!! I wouldn't want to see the mess that I would make if a bottle of Wild Turkey was that close at hand.....
