Let's See Your Tool Collection

[Broadfield]

I know there's a lot of DIYers on here... you almost somewhat need to be in order to dive into this hobby.

• Whether it be building your own tank/sump out of glass or acrylic.
• Building your own stand out of wood or welding one out of steel or aluminum.
• Plumbing your own tank.
• Cable and wire management etc.
• Building your own or modifying light fixtures.
• Designing/fabricating your own reactors, skimmers and other accessories.
• You get my point!

I love tools and use them heavily for my day job... there's nothing like having the right tool. So please share your tools, whether it be hand tools, wood shop, metal shop, CNC, etc.

If you know me on here, you know I'm somewhat organized and meticulous.... and my tools reflect that. Here are some of my drawers from my work box. I actually take these pictures from time-to-time for insurance purposes. I was taking them today and it got me thinking it could be fun to use them in a thread like this.

It'd probably be worth more than your truck even if you have a loaded F350!

Nice setup Broadfield.
I can't wait to have all of my stuff back together again.....
