06 - Storage

November 16, 2019



How are you going to keep your TK parts from getting damaged in between Troops?

Where are you going to store all of your supplies and tools?

I have dreams . . . dreams of a really cool storage box / crate for my armor . . . in my head the look something like this . . .

Or this one . . .

Aren't these Super Cool!?!?!?!






Maybe some day . . .




Those boxes are based on (or similar to) this 50 gallon Husky Storage container.  It has wheels, a padded pull-out handle, looks industrial, and has a great tray inside for holding small items.  Only $50 US at our local Home Depot.









I actually bought one!  But, sad day, it wouldn't fit in my truck with the cargo cover on.  So I had to take it back.  I kept looking.  Hit every hardware and warehouse store in the area.  Even looked on line.




I finally settled on this 45 gallon Husky container from Home Depot.  It's not as big (obviously) gallons-wise, but it does have wheels, and does seem to hold all of my stuff.  For now . . .

Plus it was only $25 US!








I'm still trying to figure out which arrangement of things will work best.

As long as I have some where to put my things when my wife wants the kitchen table cleared . . .

I've been playing with different padding to protect my gear.  Here you can see some foam  acoustical tiles.





After trying several different boxes (and being very grateful for local return policies), I picked up this small tool box for "armor making and emergency repair supplies".

I got it from the local Ace Hardware.  I haven't been able to find it online.
