My dad was a Plumber I have dug a 1000 miles of ditches by hand I despise a shovelGoing away present from an old friend when I left a golf course I had been working at as an "irrigation tech" aka master hole digger. The system was dated an shitty and I earned a reputation for being found in large waist deep muddy holes.

MAster Hole digger thats funny rite tharGoing away present from an old friend when I left a golf course I had been working at as an "irrigation tech" aka master hole digger. The system was dated an shitty and I earned a reputation for being found in large waist deep muddy holes.
I was about 13 middle of a hot ass Okla summer 100 plus working in cashion okla only thing that resembled a shade tree was a telephone pole, he took me to the wildcat cafe after work, we sat down he said what you want to drink, I said whatever your having, figuring on tea or water he ordered up 2 draft red beers, damn that was my first beer and they all been good every sinceMy dad was a Plumber I have dug a 1000 miles of ditches by hand I despise a shovel
There is something satisfying about it though. I still love jumping on a shovel and digging next to someone less experienced or who thinks they know what they're doing or are tough and moving 5X their material. Don't do it that much anymore though except maybe in my yard.My dad was a Plumber I have dug a 1000 miles of ditches by hand I despise a shovel
Taught you work ethic though!and I never got a gold shovel either
Nice, you even have a gold plated shovel. I am with you any garage space is better than none.I'll play for fun as I'm out there anyway. Nothing compared to yours or many but its mine and after not even having a garage for years it makes me happy!

Ok I wish I could get my shop that freaking organizedHere are some of my tool boxes. The first decent one I bought was a used Snap-on chest in about 1970. I found the matching roller cabinet just over 40 years later. I still need to strip them down and colour match them. Other than that I have a Beach and a Husky chest and roller. The cabinets under my bench are International rollers without the casters. I also have a couple of 2 drawer file cabinets for power tool storage. I have a Craftsman roller cabinet under my shop press and a Lista as the foundation of my welding table. I have another beach roller cabinet that I'm incorporating into a paint and powder coating centre I'm building.
