Tool Accessories

Turn old wrenches and pipes into a useful and stylish storage unit. Take an old iron apart to make a funky and unusual clock. Have a metal shop bend steel plates and wrenches, then weld them together for a unique set of bookends. Weld couplers to wrenches to turn them into drawer pulls.

Materials:

all-thread piping
steel angle iron (like an old bed frame)
hacksaw
wrenches
1/4" glass for shelves
nuts, washers and screws
drill
cork pads

Steps :

1. Assemble the nuts and washers onto the rods by spinning them to the desired shelf heights.
2. Place a wrench between the two washers and tighten them down. Reinforce the shelving unit with angle iron by drilling a hole on either end and attach it to the rods with screws. Drill two more holes on the angle iron so it can be screwed to the wall.
3. Stick cork pads to the wrenches to protect the glass from sliding or getting scratched. Slide in the glass shelves.
