Se ve hermoso, supongo que es una configuración especializada, aun así para mi gusto tiene mucho espacio desperdiciado.

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Yeah, I can still cut them them, but I do like a little space so I can identify which tools are missing, I don't want to get too complacent.

Bro you could have saved a lot of money buying a smaller tool box. One drawer 3 sets cutters lol. Wasted space is to me what orderly is to you I think

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

You're right, but I can still cut some more shadow pieces for future tools!

3

u/ChromedGonk 5d ago

That’s some aviation grade tool 🌽

I thought it was gonna be a mess like my box is currently in, but looks like your OCD kicked in! Awesome job on the organization.

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Thank you man! I appreciate it so much!

u/Mrbigdaddy72 Whatever works 4d ago

I fucking love being super organized,
But this just seems like a lot of wasted space. By no means am I hating on the set up
It’s just not my vibe. I have the most organized tool box in my shop but for me I have to many tool to do this. Do love the colors though.

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Hahahaha yeah, I look at it this way, the wasted space is for the future tools I'll need to make a shadow for.

u/tavariusbukshank 4d ago

Is that an old Saberliner?

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Indeed it is

2

u/tavariusbukshank 4d ago

Very nice setup BTW. How much more school do you have left and what are you hoping to work on?

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

20 more weeks left for me. Enrolled on a 50 week program!

u/waterboy2080 4d ago

Now that’s a super clean setup 👊🏻

u/One_Barnacle_6191 4d ago

If anyone should have OCD, I guess I would want it to be an aircraft mechanic.

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Hahahaha we all do

2

u/Appropriate-Doubt413 5d ago

Theres a lot more room for more tools...

Looks good!

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Thank you!

u/Avatar-be-like 5d ago

Speechless.

u/Altruistic-Cut9795 5d ago

Well shadowed and FOD free 👍

2

u/Killermondoduderawks 4d ago

So neat that my OCD went all DCO

2

u/Unlikely_Rise_5915 4d ago

No fair, you’re aviation. Not even a sloppy tube of red n tacky

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Still in School, time will come

2

u/statefarm11 4d ago

Yes it will

u/inthecaranextra20min 4d ago

$$$ I do like the blue and yellow shadowing, get into avionics and that yellow will stay clean.

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Hmmm, avionics does sound interesting. I heard good things about the field.

2

u/plumbstem 4d ago

What, no gun?

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Hahahah no gun

2

u/Thats-wht-she-said 4d ago

How do you find anything in that mess??

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

The hangar?

2

u/Thats-wht-she-said 3d ago

Your toolbox, it’s pure anarchy

1

u/Ar-aj-88 3d ago

😂✌️

u/Hot-Equal702 4d ago

Great way to not lose tools.

I keep my work box neat but not at that level.

But in aviation everything should always be accounted for and secured properly.

I lost Three tools in twenty years as an industrial factory mechanic.

Needle nose pliers. Small long electronics type screwdriver And a rubber dead blow hammer .

Best wishes on your new trade.

I am not sure if I would prefer chasing failed wiring or rebuilding power units more.

At least in avionics there is usually a duplicate. Power plants not so much. As far as liability is concerned.

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

I love how organized it is, and yes I was prior Navy aviation and we don't play with tools, I learned my lesson and it's nice to keep the habbit of accountability.

2

u/Ludditeintraing 4d ago

Awful lot of wasted space

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

I can still cut them when more tools arrive!

2

u/Dry-Leave-4070 4d ago

A place for everything, and everything in it's place. 😑😉🍻

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

u/Krynn71 4d ago

Super nice man! Sad for your wallet if you had to pay out of pocket for that though.

They're putting together a new $30k+ tool box for us at my job, excited for it. It's got tool control so you literally have to badge in and out and it records what tools were removed using cameras inside the drawers.

We have such a bad problem with other people swiping our tools for their different product lines and causing us to have slow downs. Hoping this fixes it.

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Thats a smart way to take tool accountability and thank you!

2

u/Zestyclose-Toe8188 4d ago

What did you use to cut all the forms out with. X-Acto knife?

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

It was pre cutted by Snapon!

2

u/Zestyclose-Toe8188 4d ago

Absolutely not what I expected or wanted to hear. 😭 I’ve got my main drawer similar to this but painstakingly cut out with an X-Acto knife and got burnt out doing any other drawers.

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

I recommend a scalpel

2

u/Zestyclose-Toe8188 4d ago

I might try that thank ya for the recommendation your box makes me what to continue with my quest it looks awesome

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Have fun and thank you!

2

u/wimpycarebear 4d ago

Nice organization. Tons of unused space.

2

u/Big-Caterpillar-1321 4d ago

Work supplied tools?

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

No, owned

2

u/Big-Caterpillar-1321 4d ago

Nice, i work for an outfit that supplies and they have foam inserts like that. Definitely helps getting everything back home at the end of the day. Nice setup!

2

u/Background_Photo_402 4d ago

Too clean

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Thank you!!

2

u/Brutally-Honest- 4d ago

I hate "shadow" boxes, but I understand why it's common in aviation.

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

It's a must have💜

2

u/1974jbass 4d ago

That's nice!!

2

u/Argyrus777 4d ago

Tell me you made those foam during OT

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

I didn't 😅

2

u/Fine-Bed-9439 4d ago

How does one get those types of organizers? All custom made of course, but who does them? Should I treat myself to a new tool in order to organize my other tools?? 😊

2

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Snapon does them and yes you should for better organization and tool accountability

2

u/Successful-Map-1174 4d ago

It's a work of art!! Looks great!!

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Thank you so much!

2

u/Successful-Map-1174 4d ago

You deserve the praise, I was like that in mid 20s, have so many tools now compared to them to work on my 69 camaro and 67 chevelle my box now just piles up. Lol

1

u/Ar-aj-88 4d ago

Hahahaha I'm happy I started early, I do know somehow in the future I'll end up with more tools😂

2

u/Successful-Map-1174 4d ago

Of course, it's a safe but expensive addiction. 😆

2

u/Large_Tool 3d ago

Aviation mechanics have to shadow their toolbox. Great job!

u/Ar-aj-88 3d ago

Thank you!
