khariV Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Last spring, a guy on CL was selling a bunch of metal boxes from the Milwaukee 10 1/2" circular saws. At $12 each, I bought up as many as would fit in my van and brought them home thinking I would use them as tool storage. Well, I finally got around to building some shelving in the garage to give them a proper home. Presenting the Milwaukee Wallzall!Now if only I could find some magnetic sheets in the right color red, I could cover up the "10 1/2" Circular Saw" label with an actual printed label of what's in each box. That would be an awesome backdrop for a red tool family portrait. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy worked for a company that bought them to use in panel saws, so they just unpacked the saws and never used the boxes that they came in. These were actually in the original product shipping boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas2000 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 You could use these and print them the correct color and also print text on them as to what is inside. You can probably find them locally as well. Nice looking storage by the way!

Jronman Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 so whats the innovative feature? could you just remove the white then repaint red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually leaning towards the magnetic sticker idea. Sanding it down to remove the white, feathering the edge and then trying to get an exact color match sounds like it would be an awful lot of work that could go horribly wrong at any point. I'm also afraid that I'll get tired and it'll end up looking like total crap by the time I'm done doing 13 of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
