Wheel & Axle prep work station project.

Post by whodathunkit »

Here's a project idea you all might like.

Let's face it..if your work shop is anything like mine no matter how hard you try
to keep the axles clean or the wheels handy and on the work bench.
One of them always seem to find it's way floor or has a way,
of walking off to a different place in the shop.

Very cool! I was thinking of doing something similar. I was thinking of using some stiff foam for the axle holder vs wood. I use a styrofoam block now, to hold my axles, but they still seem to "walk away" sometimes. I like to idea of keeping track of which wheel goes where. Again, VERY COOL!

Maybe I should have the parents/kids make one of these for their car before starting? Good idea!

Or keeping the work clean and dust free: just use some type of tub to cove it with or one with a lid to store it in.
