Toolbox becomes bathroom storage

Re-purpose a wooden toolbox into bathroom storage for the home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can easily slap together this pine toolbox with a few scraps of pine, and no special care is required, as you want it to look rustic anyway!

 

 

To make the holes for storage jars, use a large diameter hole saw and a 500W drill. Don't attempt to use a hole saw with a drill/driver, or you will end up with a burnt out tool. Use only a 500W corded drill for this. Drill the hole so that it is slightly smaller than the diameter of any rim around the top of your containers.

To paint, use a low-sheen PVA, such as Builders Warehouse in-house brand, Modo Paint. I use this paint often with successful results. To protect, wipe down with Woodoc Antique Wax or spray on Rust-Oleum clear spray.

 

 

To hang your storage box onto the wall, mount a couple of keyhole brackets at the back.
