Lots of shop storage

Just last night I was watching a TV show from the mid 80s, with a scene in a library, and I wondered where all those old card catalog cases went. You know what I was thinking.

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Nice piece of shop furniture. Small drawers are handy in the shop. I prefer drawers over bins any day.

Kewl Idea.

I have been thinking how I can organize my screws and nails your system seems perfect to me.

Currently they are in the factory boxes they came in that say nails on them when the acually have screws.
Verry confusing. Some of them are in paper bags which I also dislike.

-- Swede -- time to make some sawdust

Looks like a great idea to me.

I’m not sure about the cheap part though. My wife was wanting an antique card catalog so I decided to buy one for Christmas. At least around here they were almost impossible to find and very expensive. I found one and bought it anyway—-after all, she buys me a lot of fantastic tools.

-- She thought I hung the moon--now she just thinks I did it wrong

What great find. I would love to come across one of those file systems. I also agree, drawers beat bins any day.

Nice!
I have a few small metal units in my shop, but the wood ones look much better.

These make great storage though not easy to come by. As it happens, there are 2 card catalogs on auction at the Univ. of WI Surplus With A Purpose (SWAP) site. I have provided the links below. Auction closes next week.

BTW: my only affiliation with SWAP is that it is a favorite place to shop.

Cool storage and reuse of a bygone era.
Yes, I could go into a tirade of technology over simplicity but I just can’t muster up the energy. Computer database of books in the library may actually be a place for the application of computer based technologies. Guess what I’m getting at is so often gadgets and gizmo’s are added to equipment or tasks that are only there because they can be there. I’ll stop rambling now, BTKS
