Pipe Used To Store Tools
Gene Boehler, Farmersville, Ill.: “I needed a better way to store tools while at the same time keeping them readily accessible, so I put several short pieces of steel pipe and tubing to good use. They’re in various sizes and measure from 6 to 12 in. long. I placed the pipes and tubing in rows about 1 1/2 in. apart. Then I welded them to an 18 by 20-in. base made from 1/8-in. thick steel plate that forms a base, then painted everything bright orange. I could have used heavier plate for the base, but I wouldn’t want it any thinner because it would be too flimsy.
“My tool storage idea works great for storing pipe clamps, pry bars, brooms, shovels, and so forth. The brightly-colored pipes and tubes are highly visible and tall enough to keep the tools from falling over. They also take up less space than barrels and are more user friendly.”
