Work Bench Tool Caddy

This has been working perfect and the steel plate counter balance keeps it steady.

Thank you! Almost everything, right? I still have to have an excuse to run out to the shop for a smoke.

Easy and cheap to make. A couple of scrap 2 x 4's, some wood glue, a table saw and a drill press. I stained it with Varathane Gun Stock color and I'll most likely Polyurethane it since I can't fit another tool on it, so no more drilling. Not sure what's available in Great Britain for a counter weight, but I found it in a scrap pile.

Drilled a few for holes for stuff I use more frequently but works great. Wish I made it few inches longer.

Funny you posted this up.. I’ve been looking at 3D printed caddies all over the place, and either don’t see any I like, or they want absolutely insane loot for them.. Was honestly trying to find something decent, and not have to do it myself.. Looks like you’ve got everything but the kitchen sink in what you fabbed up.

Yeah, it's a little "compact" now and wish I left myself a little more room, lol. It still doesn't feel like it'll tip over though, glad I had the forethought to put the weight in the bottom.
