I did it ! Funky Junk Interiors (Donna) is my inspiration.
Drill, screwdriver, drill bits, old screws, rusty hook/eye and hinges, two old rulers and - I have a funky junk tool box.
Here is the before - just as it was found at a garage sale.
Unearthed some rusty hinges and a big hook/eye from my shed.
Rulers are from earlier garage sale finds.
Used my small drill (my Christmas present from years ago), and two sizes of drill bits so I wouldn't split the old plywood.
Hand screwed the screws (that sounds funny).
Garden art - handy as well.
Another 'dream' accomplished.

I love your toolbox. I found you over at Funky Junk and yours is my favorite! Can't wait to get to work on a toolbox I found a couple of weeks ago while out thrifting. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you, Patti

I am dreaming of going through all my junk to make a tool caddy special like you did as inspired by Funky Junk Donna. Yours has a winning personality.
ReplyDeleteWow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. best truck tool box
