License Plate Garden Tool Box


I bought a new saw that cuts metal and it opened up
a ton of new possibilities for my projects.

 I created this license plate garden tool box using 2 pieces of wood for the sides and one for the bottom. 


I cut a license plate in half using the metal blade on my new scroll saw and nailed them to the sides of the tool box.

I drilled 2 holes in the top of the sides and attached a handle that I salvaged from an old sewing box.

The handle is held on with 2 bolts and nuts so it will fold down.

I painted the tool box a pretty garden green leaving the backs of the license plates unpainted for an industrial look.

ready to fill with garden tools for the summer.

The drill is called the Rockwell Bladerunner,
this is not a compensated post, I just love the saw and 
it is perfect for my needs!

  3. I think that is a great idea to put the board inside. I might try it by adding one to the outside and one to the inside and screwing them together. Your room turned out so pretty and this rolling basket just tops it off so well.
