Iguanadon Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) As my herd of animals keeps growing that I display at shows, I had run out of room in the grey tote bin I'd been using to haul them to events. I was having to eliminate some animals that weren't big sellers and I hated doing that so I bought a shiny new blue bin today that will hold about 30-50% more... but then I may not be able to lift it. LOL In the old tote bin, I was using cardboard as dividers to lay the puzzles on but I didn't have any boxes laying around to make new ones, so I bought an 8'x4' piece of material, it's like pegboard but without the holes, and I cut it into pieces the right size for the bin. I need to get some more. I was able to make 9 dividers and need 3 or 4 more. But seriously, I do have to be careful not to make it so heavy I can't lift it.

bandaideman Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 That can be a issue certainly if you are Barney Fife size. Two suggestions work out on upper body and get 2 friends to come with you and let them do the lifting. My totes are good size and heavy but I can manage to slide off truck and on to cart with wheels. Also some of the shows I attend the Boy Scouts, 4H or Church group sponsor and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iguanadon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 99% of the time I'm able to pull right up to my spot either in my golf cart or in my car, so I never have to actually haul them, it's just a matter of lifting into and out of whatever vehicle I'm in. I won't get anything bigger, I'll split into 2 smaller ones if it ever comes to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 By the way, two day event coming up this weekend. I did their spring version back in April, sold 43 the first day, 13 the second day. I'll be happy to break 60 this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I use corrugated cardboard as dividers. It's free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
