Big Load

Ok so I thought I'd share my load with everyone. My grandpa was a great carpenter and died about 4 months ago, he left behind a basement full of stuff my grandma now needs gone since shes moving. She wants it all to go to family and not sold. I have got this load so far, and heres some pics of the wire I sorted out of it and sorted between strip and don't. We still have a couple weeks of cleaning left, and have pulled a lot of stuff out so far around 5 truck loads as a family. Heres some pics, also I used some of this in my brass breakdown contest entry so check that out link will be under here, also my a/c breakdown is in the breakdown section aswell.

The larger tools I got so far is a porter cable gas canister powered nail gun. No air compressor needed.

I also got a nice makita biscuit cutter

Tons of small tools also, too many to name. And around 150 handyman project books, my grandpa was a member and bought every book they sent him.


I'm hoping to get some of the equiptment also, maybe a band saw for motor breakdowns and such, Ill keep everyone updated. Dont mind the big smf sign, I was using it to tag my breakdowns.

A bittersweet time I'm sure.

Are you in metro Omaha or Lincoln or neither or none of my business...

Can't complain!

After looking at how you have your buckets hanging on the walls, I think I know my next shop project!

Nice clock there Devin, I need one of those.

Thanks, I'll fix it and hang it up probably needs new batteries. Also I'm in Omaha. Warning when doing the bucket shelves I would use 2x4s and either bolt into studs or put some supports between so they don't sag, screws on 2 sides aren't enough to hold the weight without sagging.

Yea one on casters would do the job. I may do that with my next shelf, I am trying to come up with some new configurations for my tool bench and cabinets, I am running out of tool storage space. I may build an all in 1 thing.

Heres my current storage, its way more packed than in the picture but I try to keep it as sorted as possible, of course this doesn't include my larger tools like table saw miter saw air compressors and so on.
The mason jars are all nails I've aqquired scrapping, I keep a jar full and scrap the rest. Ill post some pics of the items, I'm working on breaking them all down right now
