I haven’t made a post in a while so I thought I would take the time to express my gratitude
as our business continues to grow and more people across North America become aware of what we're building, I wanted to share something I've really come to appreciate.

It's the quality of people we're connecting with along the way.

Builders, fixers, and problem solvers. The people others depend on when things go sideways. People who show up, figure things out, and leave behind work they're proud to put their name on.

What stands out to me most is the consistent value these people bring wherever they go. It doesn't matter whose job they're on or what kind of problem they're walking into. They bring knowledge, experience, accountability, and a willingness to figure things out. They make the people and operations around them better simply by being part of them.

These are people who don't just show up to do a job. They leave things better than they found them.

I have an incredible amount of respect for that, and I'm grateful that more and more of these people are finding their way into our circle.

That same pride and work ethic is exactly what I want reflected in everything we manufacture.

No matter how big we grow, how much demand increases, or what it costs us, we will not compromise our manufacturing standards. Period.

From design and material selection to manufacturing and final fit and finish, we're committed to doing things properly.

In a world where everyone seems to be moving a hundred miles an hour and everything feels like an emergency, I think it's important to keep a little perspective. There's a difference between something being urgent to you and something being a genuine emergency. We value every job that comes through our doors, big or small, but sometimes we're dealing with situations where someone's livelihood, equipment, or entire operation is on the line. Those situations occasionally need to take priority. It's not about whose business matters more, it's about understanding the consequences of waiting. A little patience and consideration for the people around us goes a long way, especially when you don't know what someone else might be dealing with.

Anyone who's ever built something custom from scratch also knows how difficult it can be to put an accurate timeline on something that's never been built before. There are unknowns you simply can't predict until you're into it. I'd rather explain why something took longer than explain why we cut corners to get it done on time.

There's also an important distinction between being a Canadian company and being a company that actually manufactures and builds its products in Canada.

We're proud to build here, invest in the equipment and people required to do it, and take responsibility for every product that leaves our shop.

There will always be someone willing to make something cheaper. That's not a race I'm interested in winning.

One of the coolest things about getting this ball rolling has been watching how many like-minded people come out of the woodwork. Conversations turn into relationships, ideas turn into opportunities, and suddenly you're surrounded by people who genuinely want to see each other succeed.

Quality people recognize quality work.

To everyone who's reached out, supported us, shared ideas, or become part of this growing network, I appreciate it more than you know.

We're building products, but the relationships we're building along the way might be the most valuable part of it all.

And we're just getting started.

Hello everybody following along!

I need a favour from a few of you that have bought products from us in the past…. Just need a simple inside the cabinet video (open the door, look inside all around the mounting fl**ge and the floor back out and close the door)

Currently these units are classified as standalone units when crossing the border and the American government does not believe that these are designed to be permanently bolted into work trucks in order to function. (This can mean a huge change in the cost of the crossing)

Anybody that can help me out would be grateful for the quick response!

To help save mixup when shipping multiple crates that look the same size at the same time, we are now engraving the customer PO and postal code in the crate to make life simpler for everybody.

We had a freight company have a little bit of a mixup when a customer went to pick up his crate. It is very very obvious when you see our crate what they are.

We have taken it a step further and we now put your initials and postal code on your crate, so you know it’s yours..

Everybody currently waiting for pending orders to be shipped.

Your paperwork is with the broker now and I will be reaching out as soon as I hear back from them with final numbers for shipping.

If you have pending paperwork, please get it filled out so we can move the stuff out as quick as possible.

And if we have all paperwork sent out you will be updated as soon as I know more through email!

As some of you may know the current “thing” to do with tariffs is creating extra havoc for the brokers so they are a little more backed up than normal.

We appreciate all of the support all over North America on our Canadian MANUFACTURED drawer packs and custom storage solutions.

Hi all!

Welcome to the new followers and hello again to the followers that have been here for a while….

As you guys know, we typically build sealed toolbox cabinets and drawer packs and we ship them all over North America.

I wanted to start by saying I see all of you tagging us in posts all the time and we appreciate all of you doing this and I can’t thank you enough.

We’ve been trying to bring quality products to other blue-collar tradesmen like YOU and us, and I think you will all agree that if you can spend a few extra dollars to get something made for you it definitely beats paying for a cheaper product that isn’t even made in this country, but sells for the same price because of markup and shipping.

This goes against my core values and it’s bugged me for a long time… I’ve always liked the good stuff, and go out of my way to seek out these custom makers for products that I’m looking for.

I’ve always gone out of my way to support local small businesses and one or two person locations over big corporations, and will continue to do so(and I appreciate all of you doing the same with our business).

 When I go to spend money at someone’s place, I expect a high level of service in exchange for paying the price I am paying. We expect to deliver the same to you, and we do not want our relationship to end as soon as you buy your product.

I’m making this post to put feelers out. We are doing a new style of product a sealed cabinet, with drawers in it liftable by crane moveable by forks with all the same style of build quality you are already used to by us.

If any of you would want to get in on a 30 inch wide 24 inch deep 24 inch tall portable weather tight toolbox with lifting pockets on the sides for your crane now is your chance!

I’m offering the first five up at a discounted rate of $750 off I want to get them in peoples hands and I want to hear the good and the bad and I also want to hear what features you would want in a box like this before we build, please come and join us and be a part of the R&D process! After all, it will be built for guys like you!

Going to try and sell them for 2500 and they will retail for around 3200 once the final design is finished.

Let me know it all starts Monday!
