My own little project

Since starting Adam's Handy Hands I have been thinking about all the tools and materials i would need and how much space in the car they would take up.

I started with a few tools and the basic materials and have steadily been buying more tools and materials. I was stacking my tool bag and materials in the back of my small van, cramming them in to just fit.

I had an idea to make a shelf for the back of my van to allow me to stack my tools above my materials and storage boxes. I made a simple shelf with draw to accommodate all my boxes and tool bags without having to remove them all to get to the boxes underneath.

I added some eye hooks to the sides to secure the shelf to the tie down points in my car. I also added some eye hooks to secure the boxes and tool bags to the shelf to stop them from moving around.

With a few pieces of timber from my local hardware store I was able to create a great shelf for the back of my van. This allows me to organize my tools and materials so their easily accessible when needed.

This is the end result, and I find that it it make it a lot easier to access my tools and plastic boxes when needed. It also keeps everything secure so it won't move around the back of my van.
