Modified Memories
I have been working on my trailer as I can and I have added a couple new pieces. Well they are new to me.
This pictures shows a lot of new stuff.
The first item is the tool box. I was given that from Bryan and I do appreciate it. I then mounted it
solid to the wall and floor. I still need to make some kind of slide bar deal to hold the drawers in place.
If you look to the left of the picture you will see a 3 spd rotating fan I picked up for $15 at the local close out place.
On the floor to the left of the tool box is a bench drill press. This is a gift from my neighbor
Harold. It needs some work but it works and it was free.
Now to the neat part. I knew I needed some work space but with the trailer being small I
really didn't know where to put it. I decided to make it a fold down shelf.
The front support is the 2x4 attached to the side of the tool box. The other support is a
fold out unit. When all folded up, that leg attaches to the wall with a spring loaded
hook.
This leads me to the shelf which is attached to the wall with a leftover piano hinge from
some other project. It will fold up and is held in place by a sliding bolt which has a place to pin it
so it won't fall down.
Total cost on this project was about $10 to $15 dollars as the
wood was donated by the people behind me who were tearing down a building. I almost forgot to mention
that the shelf is 21inches x 42 inches.
