Hi Guys,
Summer is in full swing and we've all been very busy with projects on the job and around the house. This weekend, several guys from the Tool Box Buzz crew will spend Friday and Saturday training a group of young men on tool safety and basic building techniques. The group of men are from the Fraternity Pi Kappa Phi, and
part of the Build American Team that will travel across the Country this summer doing building and maintenance projects for Summer Camps for children with disabilities.
Rob Robillard and Phil Benevides have been leading this training for several years and it's been a huge success. Many of the guys on the Build American Team have never had any formal training, and after two days they leave with lots of skills to keep them safe and very productive as they provide a
much needed service for these special summer camps.
While I can't attend this year, I'm wishing my team great success as they provide such a great experience for these young men. I wish the men of the Build America Team a successful Summer as well.
This week we've got some tool storage, trailer maintenance, and part 1 of a cool article on building a patio.

Milwaukee Mobile Work Bench
Being organized is really important on the job and in the shop. Recent years have seen an explosion in work shop organization options from tool storage boxes to full size tool cabinets. We recently got a chance to check out the new Milwaukee 52" Mobile Work Bench.
This new bench features a heavy duty steel frame, large wheels, and a reversible wood top that's elevated to allow clamping.
With 9 full extension drawers it's ready to help organize your shop. Click the link below to find out with we rated it 5 stars!
We are living in a disposable world it seems. We hear stories all the time of people throwing away tools and products because they're worn out or damaged. It seems less people are maintaining their homes and possessions these days.
We really believe in preventative maintenance in and around the home. Today we're sharing some tips on maintaining your job trailer to keep it running great
for years to come. In the article below you'll see how I take care of my trailer with regular lubrication, cleaning, and checks. Click the link below to see how I do it.
I just finished up a big project at home by building a patio in our backyard with pavers. This is part 1 of a 2 part series on how I built the project and how you can build one too.
In this article I'll talk about all the planning required, the necessary materials, and getting started on the excavation and layout. In part 2 (next week) we'll share the installation tips for the
pavers and the finishing touches to this great patio and fire pit. Click the link below to get started!
