    What to use this for in the shop?

    Scavenged an old gun safe, it's about 10" deep, 21" wide by 56" tall, nice heavy duty metal but I can't think of what to use it for....add more shelves for storage, or cut it down and make it into something more useful? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

    Had this sort of planned for a while, scavenged an old metal table and the metal/chrome base of an office chair from the waste transfer station and decided to combine the two into a tool tray I can roll around the shop. What I started with... used some scavenged old metal bed frame pieces to...
