Unorganized tools = idea

[Thor06]

Ok, I live in a town of about 35,000 including the surrounding area. Its a great place to live, there is just NOTHING to do. So what do we do up here? We make shit. For example Mikes intake and test pipe. We had nothing better to do, so we made stuff to put on his car. Well, I didnt have anything to do to night, so I was looking at my tools. I realized how unorganized the combination wrenches were. The tool set we got just had a damn plastic bag for them so they got thrown in the bottom drawer of our tool box with all the other random shit. That makes it hard to get the right size on the first try, and we wind up losing some of our tools. Well, last winter, while I was doing nothing, decided I would learn how to use my moms sewing machine. I did and it was fun. I made some dope ass pajamas, as a matter of fact I'm wearing them now. I decided to put my sewing skills, my creativity, and some random denim to work to organize my combination wrenches. After 2 and 1/2 hours and some fuckin around, I made this:



What do you guys think?

now if you can sew the size of the wrench onto it's corresponding pocket with a different color thread, then i will give you MAD props.

I thought about it, but I think I'll just embroider it later. I thought about scraping some grease off Mikes engine and using that to put numbers on, but I think embroidering it would be a little more fun.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments!

I don't think I've ever read the word Embroider nor ever said it before today. Good job.

I've never seen the word Embroider on this forum before.

Looks pretty sweet.

I've never heard a guy say he was actually happy because he used a sewing machine... not only that, but made some dope-ass pajamas. There's some weird people around here. LOL.

Nice work
