Avoid Waste, Waste Time

Do you ever do things to avoid waste and then think you should have just added to the landfill?

I have some Makita toolboxes for NiMH tools that have been retired. I didn’t want to just throw those sturdy cases out. I got the idea of cutting the interior dividers out and turning them into general purpose toolboxes. So I get out the Dremel, it takes forever, I get out the angle grinder, it does the job but still takes 15 minutes, the interior looks raggedly, my hand is numb, and I don’t know WTH I’m going to use this case for. Line with foam for an incognito pistol case? Emergency kit for car? Emoilluements and essential bath oils?

I think I wasted my time.
