Perhaps try something different, like heroes from Greek mythology...?

I think it would be nice to go alphabetical using names people don't use any more. Albert, Beryl, Claude, Donald, Eric etc. :thumbup:

With the addition of the Yukon box it puts me over 30 linear feet of wheeled toolboxes. If I were to shadowfoam the socketry, spanners, screwdrivers & pliers etc I'd need to swap out my 41in wide main mechanic box for one of this blokes 20 drawer 9footers.. or at east a 7footer:

(Have the missus hide the credit card before clicking this link, these are the dogs danglies of toolboxes)

New sign showed up. A bit bigger than I expected, so I need to move the two lower signs in the previous post to make space for this:

Half-assed the garage cabinet-top bookshelf together with the wrong screws (for now). It will be coming apart sanding/varnish etc, and filling two mis-drilled holes
Checked how many manuals I could get on it... (there's are MANY more, some of which I added since I took the pic).
Decided the space in front of the manuals is going to be the permanent home to my measuring tapes (I must have a dozen).
It will getting proper #8x 1.5in slotted brass c/s screws & finish washers. It will also be attached to the gun/ammo cabinet with some carriage bolts, 1 in each side, 2 along the front & 2 along the rear (maybe more). It overlaps the top of the cabinet by 1in

I REALLY miss not being able to use my table saw for this shit. It would have been so much nicer if I wasn't trying to cut plywood sheet with the wrong blade on a frigging circular saw with the ply resting on a couple of 2x4's laid on the floor. (yeah yeah, bad workman & his tools etc blah blah blah, bugger off)

There's also a full set of '73-'80 900/1000 factory manuals & parts books, a full set of KZ650 & KZ1300 parts books, '81-'85 factory GPz11 manuals & also some factory 650/750 manuals (GPz/KZ etc)... and a full set of '73-'80 900/1000 factory service bulletins etc

Buggered about with the bookshelf, it's square now. Won't need the bolts to attach it to the cabinet as it's an interference fit.
