TOOL STORAGE (Editor's Choice):

We have two Handy Devices ideas from the Whites (Jeff White, brother, Timmy and father, Jerry), of McKenzie, Tennessee. The first is an idea that creates tool storage areas inside wall cavities. Instead of hanging tools on the surface of the walls, the Whites built these recessed areas for pegboard and tools. This keeps the wall surfaces clear of clutter. And, for the next Handy Device from the Whites ...

WATER, POWER AND AIR:

Picking cotton tends to be messy. To keep that mess away from his shop, Jeff White ran water, compressed air and electrical lines out to this post on the far corner of his equipment area. He uses the area to clean field debris off cotton-harvesting equipment.

TRAVEL RACK SPRAYER:

Ever get a sore back spraying weeds with a hand sprayer? Joyce Stumfoll, Victoria, Texas, did. She came up with way to make the work a bit more portable. Stumfoll attached the tank to a luggage dolly. The dolly is highly portable and weighs very little. The handle doubles as a place to store the sprayer wand.
