Some great ideas. Thanks Winky!
Good to see everything organized,Mark.98% right is excellent to me.Thank you.
Do you sometimes think we get more pleasure out of acquiring and organising our bits and pieces than actually using them ?
I use a tool board on wheels. it takes up a 2' x 4' space and is 4' wide 7' tall double sided. I keep all the common tools on it all the special tools go in a cabinet. fishing tackle trays for the small parts like you have. One problem! My shop is still a mess! Love your ideas for organization and storage. hopefully after I retire, I will have time. Great video.
The only thing with those socket cases is they take up a TON of room in the drawers. If you put all those sockets on those socket rails, you could easily get that entire set into 1 drawer. That said though, I have a very similar set in a toolbox drawer, that also wastes a ton of space - but at least being in a drawer, it's not on the floor anymore!
They're decent tools Winky, i got the same set for in the Van when i travel.
Hi Mark, I'm jealous of you organization skills my shop looks like Bubba did the organizing 🥴, well maybe not that bad.
My best storage solution was an inexpensive 36"W X 25" D X 36" H Hart tool chest from Wal-Mart. What made it special was the 25" length of the drawers, it holds a LOT of stuff! They pulled out much farther than most tool chest Drawers. I wanted 2 or 3 of them, but got 1 and they went out of stock forever.
Years ago, we used to have a vacuum forming machine to make custom trays (with shapes if you wanted). I had forgotten about it. It worked pretty good, but on deep stuff you would get a web at the corners. You had to make a "half" block to form part way and then use the finished block (like a casting pattern). I wonder why you don't ever see that anymore. It could form some fairly thick plastic sheet. Ha, that's probably how that Vevor tray is made. I like your wooden ones better though.
If you have the room, "flat file" drawers (like for maps) are great for storing circular saw blades, sand paper, T squares, framing squares, etc. I have one that I put on heavy duty casters and it makes a great roll around workbench. I also pick up letter and legal sized file cabinets for cheap (or nothing) and store plumbing fittings, electrical parts, small engine supplies, etc.
I keep threaded bar and assorted tube in cut in half 4" pvc water pipe.
The clear plastic 35mm film canisters will fit perfectly in those fishing lure boxes for small loose parts that want to migrate under the dividers. I've wondered if a legal size filing cabinet would let you stack rows of those boxes on their edge front to back. They have good bearings.
That is very good how ever , however, how, in the name of goodness, do you remember where you hid everything
EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION SKILLS REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE .
Re: Your older Craftsman draw unit with the difficult bottom drawer. You can purchase ball bearing slides and replace the original slides in that unit. I have an older Craftsman bench/table for my Unimat and the slides have the same problem. And I use the bottom drawer for my "drops". It is completely full (that's how I limit what I keep in scraps) so it is very heavy. I need to get some replacement, BB slides for that and the other four drawers.
I spend more time organizing my shop than I do making things.
Hey there Mark' I have the same Craftsmans older tool box, And yes the slides are absolutely horrible. About 3yrs ago I had enough, and did some research and ordered some ball bearing hinges from Amazon, it took some doing with drilling out the old rivets and trying to get my big head into the cabinet too😂, but let me tell you. It made my 30+ yrs old cabinet feel like new.
Of the organising (and re-organising) of tools, there is no end. Too many tools, so little space in my workshop! Thanks Mark. Les in UK 🇬🇧
