Thanks Ryan.
Ken, I still think a wall cabinet is in my future, but considering that we might be selling our current house; then moving into a rental until we find or build our dream house, I think this might be my best solution for now. I needed to do something to consolidate all my hand tools together and my smaller traveling tool box was handy, just not big enough.
Talking about tool storage at the bench, I have decided to install a tool tray at the back of my bench. I am finding having my tools laying on the bench gets in the way of working on the bench. I know I am going against current wisdom, but I believe it all depends on how one works. I am not a messy guy so I don't think it will become a "hamster cage" filled with left out tools & debris. I believe that a tool tray will be asset for me, but am curious how it has worked for others.
When I build my drawer section for underneath my bench it will be made in 2 sections side by side so they are easy to set in place. The ends on each section will extend up about 4" & have a full extension glide mounted so that when the two sections are under the bench then a top drawer will pull out to put items into instead of on top of the bench making it possible to do away with the tool tray.
