I\u2019m into the final furlong with the tool caddy now. The third tier is coming along nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plugging bottoms (titter!).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had to cut some holes all the way through the block, for a few of the larger items. That then required that the resulting holes be plugged, to stop things dropping through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottoming out again\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Initially I wasn\u2019t sure exactly what was going in to this section, as almost everything already had a home in the other two tiers. But there\u2019s actually plenty: small files, a small compass, various interchangeable hex shanked drill bits, AA and AAA batteries, a couple of knives, and sundry other oddments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut a groove out the back\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Only just visible in these pics, you might note that I staggered the battery holes; there\u2019s a row of five AA, and a row of four AAA. I tried to space these out so they\u2019d be simple to pull out. And the depths are also set to make that easy as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 for a mini spirit-level.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the image below you can see the drill bits, in their little rubber pluggy things. I drilled a line of holes with, I think(?), a 15mm dia\u2019 bit, taped for depth, and then chiselled out the remaining \u2018waste\u2019. Perhaps I should\u2019ve set them a bit further back? Or forward? There\u2019s room for more in that section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut another little groove for these screw-dads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was hard to resist the temptation to go out this evening, and take off the clamps. But I was strong in resolve! So\u2026 this third and final section is now gluing to the others overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow we\u2019re meeting Hannah and co, inc dad and Claire, for a walk along \u2018The Backs\u2019, and then lunch at The Copper Kettle. It\u2019s Hannah\u2019s pre-birthday meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hoping I\u2019ll find the time either before, or more likely after, to add two handles and a clip for the tape measure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
