    Default Lazy Boy - Tool Cart

    Since I fired my dealer I spend a lot of time servicing and tinkering on three bikes.

    Here's my latest addition, and something I wish I'd have thought of long ago.

    A rolling tool cart.

    REALLY is handy!

    Default For sure....

    They do come in handy and yours is handy as all can be seen and not under the seat of the bench or to low.

    Isn't that what floor boards are for, to hold tools and parts? Seriously, that is a great idea and do I have your permission to copy it?

    when I had my shop years ago I mounted a craftsman 7 drawer tool box on a creeper and pulled it from side to side as I worked. Yours is a great idea. Keep it up

    You live in a beautiful state, sir. I ride over, often. In fact, St. George may be in my future.

    Default Harbor Freight Three Level Cart

    I recently bought one of these. It is for my basement model airplane shop. I plan to mount a small bandsaw and a combo belt sander/disc sander on the top shelf. The lower two will be for extra tools, misc, etc.

    They are very affordable. ~$49 but wait for a 20% (or 25%) off sale.

    I got one them Gas Monkey shop stools with the toolbox under the seat. Keep the most commonly used wrenches, sockets, and drivers in the shop stool. Got 2 big roll around tool boxes that stay over by the wall.

    No sir, probably the nose of the FJR(red?)

    That said, the Valk is a great bike.
