2 x pallet timber boxes

OK got sick of my stash of pallet timber tripping me up and associated tool clutter so it was time to get to work
First up was a box for my bearing pullers, from small motor bearings, drills and small power tools to irrigation pumps to Auto roles.

then closely followed by a box for my Arbortec items Turbo planner and Ball  gouge.
selected the timber with the least twisting and cupping, the remainder was sent on a council holiday
Jointed Thicknessed everything then cut them all to length
screwed the together and presto all done and easy to locate when needed.
1. The Bearing Box


Used the ball gouge to make some non slip finger grips 

Simple butt joint and screwed construction.

I thought it looked all a bit bland so 3D carver routed the sides for a bit of bling and filled with copper finish paint.
sanded it back  sanded it back and it looked better.
Construction:-
Pine and 18 x 32mm screws no glue
Finish:-
sanding sealer and copper paint


2. The Arbortec items and grinder.

It was the same basic design but used some ripped pine for the sides.

Added some finger grips a bit lower down

sanded and sealed no bling added this time and its done.
Construction:-
pieces of pine and  38 x 32 mm screws no glue .
Finish:- sanding sealer, 
P.S. You may have noticed I painted my Hi Ho Silver saw horses!

Good utility storage Rob 👍
I have a collection of pullers like yours, but mine were bought because I never could find the ones I bought before. Now I have 2-3x spares. 🙄

The routing looks great!
Thought you were turning into an educated banana bender,

then I realised it was out of focus and not a Robertson screw but a lowly Philips.

Have you slipped a laser engraver into (or pulled out of) your arsenal.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

OK see how this goes,
If there is any further explanation required I can do a Project post showing it in action.
Beware although you can but spare parts, the kits looks like they may not be available any longer. 
And yes I have 50mm Robinson Deck screws.

Cute RC... but I didn't hear any QLD accent... it was all in English... you got a phone, plenty of palette wood, build a phone stand and post your mush on UTube... give you an excuse for not playing Nardia.
