About 2 years ago I purchased a small parts bin organizer for my garage. I used it to hold all my nuts, bolts, screws and nails. I paid about 24.99 for it and it really was a worthless bunch of junk. If I needed a bottom bin then I had to take all the bins on top of it off and half the time I ended up playing pick up nails, screws, bolts and nuts! So I finally did a bit of cleaning yesterday and I had an old drawer that I used to hold paint junk. Not a really good solution because like any drawer, you can't find anything you need when you need it.
So I decided that this old drawer would make the perfect cabinet for my parts bins....oh the idea went swimming through my head. I marched out into the garage this morning and got started on my new project. A project that was for me! Something I really wanted so I was so excited. With a little less than 1/2 sheet of 1/4 inch plywood left over from the hutch project, a drawer, a good length of left over 1x12 that I glued a 1x6 to to make wider and some other left over bits and pieces I made myself this wonderful parts bin cabinet. No I didn't paint it...and I didn't make sure each door was exactly the same size and I had to cut off a bit of the front of each bin...BUT I AM SO HAPPY about this project that I could just have a big ole garage cleaning party! <wink>
