I was inspired the other day to make my own wire caddy/tool box after seeing how expensive they are. I bought an antique carpenters tool box for $7 off eBay. Other materials include:
New doilie handle - $4
Clamp knobs - $2
1/4-20 inserts - $2
Red primer spray paint -$4
Elbow grease - Priceless
After sanding, a little Dremel work, & painting..I have a $20 wire caddy/tool box.
I posted a few pics of my inspiration & the before/after finished product.
