An old outboard motor fuel tank turned into a toolbox. Tank was cut open and the baffle cut out. A block off plate was made to cover the opening for the fuel draw, and a more attractive gas cap was modified to fit.

5. i am a fixer. i love resolution. i crave the result, the tangible of broken then fixed.
i feel so accomplished and needed when i can successfully right a wrong. i can change a flat tire, repair a hole in a shirt, proofread a paper, replace a lightbulb.
but those are just things, people are harder. it took me a long time to realize that you can't put people back together like a broken vase. it's not as easy and you have to wait much longer than the few hours it takes for crazy glue to set.
and sometimes people don't want to be fixed. that was a tough realization too, and i am glad i won't have to learn it again.
will fix shit for hugs.

Scaled down tool tote from the Handyman Club www.handymanclub.com/projects/articletype/articleview/art.... This is a 12" long box instead of an 18" box, because my wife wanted something smaller and we are going to give the full sized one to my in-laws.
Scored this at a garage sale some years ago for minimal $'s. Heavy duty rubbery, garbage-can-thickness plastic. Couple of latches - one at each end. About 15" x 9", and 12" tall.
