An old wine crate makes a good toolbox, I suppose, in some universe.

Another in my occasional series, looking at the variety of types of toolboxes -- and contents -- used by different types of trades people, handyman types, and so on. Came across this one near a construction site, but with no obvious owner or user near it. Decided I ought to see if I could get permission from somebody before snapping away. After a couple of inquiries I did find the owner and of course, had to begin my questioning with something like, "This is probably kind of an odd question, but ..."

I guess after seeing one like this, I don't feel quite as bad about the level of disorder in my own toolboxes. Then again, he probably can find what he needs without much ado, and doesn't waste any time being anal about organization.

A MAC tool chest with hutch, and a Cornwell side cabinet. Mounted on a custom fabricated steel angle and channel frame.

An automotive AM/FM/CD unit with bookshelf speakers was added in the hutch, powered by a small sealed 12 volt batter. A battery maintainer is connected, and plugged into a power strip, and a retractable power cord mounted on the back of the hutch. Roll into a service bay, plug in, and get to it.

The casters in this photo have been replaced with a set that have coil spring suspension. That makes the box ride over the expansion joints in the floor quite smoothly.

A sturdy red wooden tool box! It's happy, chippy red paint has a lot of character, patina and paint crackle. It has metal corners and great details. Open it up to reveal the inside which is painted black.

I love this box and think it would make an excellent decorative piece. You could stash tools in it, or jewelry, or spices. Anything really. It would add a bright punch to a room.

I've cleaned it so it's ready to use!
