Today I show you how to build a custom snap on tool box using some old school lockers.

My early 90's Snap on Tool chest needed some love so I decided to break out the tools and add some side lockers to it, I had an old set of school lockers that I had picked up a few years back and it seemed like a good idea to split them and fit them to the sides of the tool chest. What started as a simple job then escalated in to a a full nightmare of many lost hours in the shed and polished off with some questionable lighting.

Smoking Steel Garage is a channel dedicated to DIY fabrication, Sim racing, and general motoring shenanigans. I'm no expert in any of the above, But with a "can do" attitude I can usually get it done! My aim is to motivate you to have a go.

If you see me doing something wrong or you think there is better more effective way let me know in the comments below!
