# New post about woodworking stuff wowie
|
|
|
|
Here's the situation: I have a tool box that I do random projects on
|
|
and recently I made a giant mess of the top of it. This wouldn't be
|
|
an issue if this were a garage... but this is basically my living room.

|
|
|
|
The plan to have something not as ugly is simple: give the box a simple
|
|
wood top so that it wouldn't look so terrible. 2x6's were my choice of
|
|
lumber as they were both thick enough to endure and wide enough to not
|
|
require tons of cutting & fastening.

|
For reference this is how we're going to secure the boards to the top
|
|
of the toolbox. A bolt those head sits in a counter bore and gets
|
|
strapped with a nut/washer combo on the other side.

|

|
|
One thing to remember is to measure **everything** including the size
|
|
of the bolt heads so that you don't counter their exact size :upside_down_face:

|

|
No thing to fear however because we can just pull the bolt through
|
|
so long as we can grab it with the nut on the other side :grimacing:
|

|
Using this method I was able to pull everything through and get a proof
|
|
of concept for some very janky tool storage. Which I realized only after
|
|
I took this picture will require some proper support to withstand being
|
|
vertical _and_ face down.
