Simple Shop Ideas Save Space, Time
Mike Miller, Athens, Ill., jumped at the chance to pick up a section of four old school lockers for use in his farm shop.
  The lockers hold a variety of items. One holds towels, another electrical tapes and miscellaneous supplies. The nice thing about the lockers is that they do all of this in a very compact place, and they keep items absolutely clean.
  Miller also came up with another useful idea for his shop. He connected an old tractor oil pan to a barrel to make it easy to dump used oil. The pipe nipple on the pan fit the bung hole on the barrel.
  In the bottom of the pan, he placed a screen to catch debris. He has a friend who burns oil in a furnace.
  A big advantage of using the large tractor oil pan is that Miller can pour a 5-gal. can of oil into it without having to wait for it to drain down.
