Since it is older it has required a little fix up and reinforcement. I used it for a number of years outside and from time to time I needed to keep it from falling apart. Come and see what it looked like before I recently reinforced it with glue and the original nails it came with. Garden Tool Box a Little Worn Out As you can see my box has fallen apart. It can be put back together again; it doesn't look like it here but all the pieces are in pretty good shape. The box legs have grooves for the sides to be placed in and the bottom board of the box is held in place by the sides and secured with the original nails that I still have. Putting the Box Back Together In the past when...
