Default Shop Storage - from rec.woodworking - 3 attachments

Here's mine...

First photo is a wall of cabinets I built to hold the usual paint
cans, stains, solvents, cleaners, oil, etc. My bench grinder, small
pressure washer, shopvac bags, etc. all get stored in the upper
cabinets too.

The lower cabinets hold oil drip pans and funnels for the cars,
tarps and plastic sheets, small power tools, and small parts boxes.
I like the ones made by Stanley that have the handle built-in.
Expensive, about $15 each, but nice for taking small parts with you.
I have one for screws, one for nuts and bolts, one for small
electrical parts, one for small plumbing parts, etc. I do a lot of
work at my in-laws house, so the portability is very handy.

Wrenches, screwdrivers, etc. are in the rolling red tool cart.

The second photo is the back wall of my garage where I store my
lumber supply. This is mostly still a work in progress. I'm planning
to change this in the future, but for now I stand plywood sheets on
edge on the left side, and the remaining lumber gets stored in the
overhead rack or standing on end on the floor.

My rolling worktable rolls under the lumber rack, and holds my
router bits and tools, squares, and all the tool cases for nailers
and other power tools.

The last photo is the wall I keep my limited selection of clamps,
sawhorses, and ladders.

Lot's to do still, but getting there...

Nice work next thing to do is build a broom stand so the broom bristles
won't get crushed by their own weight. I built one from old press board
scraps. Four identical pieces for the sides of the boxes and two same size
pieces for the top and bottom, one piece has through holes for the handles
the other has almost through holes to accept the ends of the brooms but
locks them in left to right back and forth. Your brooms will last a life
time if stored this way instead of being crushed under there own weight
during storage (99% of there life).
