Barn Wood Tool Caddy

Hi friend!

My neighbor was working on a project and asked if I wanted a piece

of plywood that was leftover.

I told Mr. Fresh Vintage it would be a good bottom for a Tool Caddy!

....and of course we jumped right in!

I love him for that!!!

We got together what we planned to use-

One long piece of rough barn wood, I 've been saving for years !

A large scrap piece of plywood from my neighbor.

One wood spindle from an old chair.

The dark pine scraps were left over from my kitchen shelves.

The wood was already stained and ready to go-

To make the handle-

We drilled a hole in the pine pieces with the spindle 

connecting each piece and then set it aside.

Stood the handle piece up and measured around

the outside and cut the box pieces.

To decide on the size of the box.

I measured my barn wood length and divided in half.

Then cut the width pieces off of those-

there was no waste.

We had a scrap of plywood to use for the bottom.

I put the painted side down.

Then nailed the handle piece inside the box.

I loaded up the box with my paint brushes.

I watered down some acrylic paint I had on hand.

It was a good match.

I put some wood stain on the handle ends.

I love how it turned out!

The whole box was made from scraps-

It's a keeper-
