Looking for a way to transport our tools from the garage to the job site and to keep our tools somewhat out of the elements we've build a CTW. The average DIYer is probably not familiar with the CTW concept. Essentially we took our well abused utility trailer and transformed it into a CTW.
Wait ... What the hell is a CTW you ask?? Sorry, its a technical term for "Chuck ... The Wagon". All naming rights are reserved.
Although I had assistance in building the CTW I promised Wayne that I would not mention his name. This is what happens when engineers are waiting to start their construction. Stay tuned ... this could get worse.
On the trailer we have the gas powered air compressor, generator, and job box which contains supplies and the chargers for cordless tools. Later I will add my saws and stands. The plywood side provides sound deflection but also a convenient place for hanging air hoses, cords, and tools. The major tools are held in place with cleats to keep them from moving when on the move. The entire setup is removable from the trailer. Needless to say I had all this stuff in the garage and the only hardware purchased was the U clamps.
The next modification is to include a second level where we can put a rocking chair for my wife. Trust me ... she's really looking forward to the upcoming parade!
The purpose of the CTW (aka "Chuck") is intended to reduce our setup and tear down time. Rather than running for tools 6,000 times in a weekend we hope to reduce that down to say 1,000 trips!
Enjoy!!
Your engenuity is amazing. I am enjoying reading about your journey.
