This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in
tool care.
Tools need to be kept in a safe dry place for them to last longer, and sometimes one needs access to multiple tools at multiple locations on a property. So, a portable tool shed is one way to keep tools safe, in one place, and accessible at various locations.
The requirement for this BB is to build a small, portable tool shed with the following features:
- on skids or on wheels
- ability to lock up all tools
- minimum interior size: 6 feet by 10 feet
- interior height at least 7 feet
- one end needs a workbench 6x3
- a hefty shelf above workbench
To get certified for this BB, post pictures or a 2-minute video that demonstrates the following:
- materials and tools being used to create the tool shed
- progress of the tool shed being built
- completed tool shed
- demonstrates the tool shed is obviously at least 6 feet by 10 feet inside and at least 7 feet tall inside
- demonstrates the tool shed is on skids or on wheels
- demonstrates there is a workbench in the tool shed that is at least 6 feet by 3 feet in area
- demonstrates there is a hefty shelf above the workbench
