I have been thinking about this for a while and finally took a break from making Christmas presents to build a storage box for my safety glasses that is right in the shop area. I used to drop them in the drawer with the sanders and had to wipe them off all the time. While I was at it, I added storage for my hearing protectors and one of my free Harbor Freight flashlights that I always had to walk in the other room to fetch.
The box is totally glued together with Titebond III. I had to add a little clearance to the doors but they open fine now.
It is all made from scraps from the wood bin and I had the words lasered in when making the dog bones.
It is finished with clear gloss lacquer.

I fastened the box to the hood of my miter saw….........Jim

I dig it Jim … ive got all my safety gear hung up on an old coat hook at the door to the shop. I might pilfer this one to spice things up. Nice to see that you keep safe, as my neighbor once told me “all the heros are dead kid”.

Safety like a lot of other things we do is a habbit, we have to do it over and over until we do it with out thinking. We need all the help we can get and having our safety equipment handy is paramount. Jim, I think that this handy little box is just the kind of reminder that all of us need to help us to be safe.

Thanks Jim for sharing!!

Awesome idea for keeping the saftey items all together and in a neat fashion. Probably helps keep the safety glass clean too.

THx for sharing.

Really cool Jim,
And what a great idea, it should be in every workshop.
Fine detail with the flashlight holder under.
Best thoughts my friend,

Very nice and tidy… Excellent execution… I love the routed lettering for the safety glasses door…

Do you have enough room for a respirator in there?
