Organize Your Workshop & Garage Storage Now
Workshop and Garage storage, shelving, organization, cabinets–there are never enough ideas to go around.
If your shop is like mine, you’ve managed to fill it with so much stuff (your treasures) that it’s a mess. You’d like to up your organization, but this isn’t just a matter of adding a couple of shelves here and there. You need more powerful organization ideas if there’s to be any hope.
Now, as I said, it’s hard to part with your treasures, so here is a whole list of Killer Organization Ideas to get that noggin’ started thinking about the possibilities. Fear not–even the smallest space filled with the largest assortment of treasures can be helped!
These ideas are not limited to dedicated workshops they also make great home storage solutions ideas, garage organization tips and tricks, and so on. I’ve gathered 32 of the best storage solutions to make life easier.
#1 – Start By Building Higher
Industrial spaces use pallet racks, and if you have room for them, they’re great. You can often find them surplus at good prices on Craig’s List. Be sure to think about how you’re going to access the top levels, though. Industry has the advantage of larger spaces and fork lifts. Smaller Shops may not be so lucky.
With a little ingenuity though, we can adapt a storage solution to provide its own access. Consider this mocked up garage shelving system:
Pull out shelves provide steps to access the top shelves…
#2 – #6: Go Deeper
Once you’re floor to ceiling, you’ve used up one dimension of your space. It’s time to go deeper, and the whole secret to going deeper is access. If we put shelves behind shelves, how do we access the back shelves?
Try these ideas on for size:
#2 – Mount your front shelves on floor tracks so they can slide to provide access to back shelves…
#3 – DIY Parts Bins. Use a pullout to arrange shallow bins back to back in a denser format than if they were horizontally arrayed on a shelf…
#4 – Old filing cabinets have very deep storage. They make great tool holder storage…
#5 – Pullout and extend side drawers…
#6 – Vertical Storage Drawers like these from Sawdustgirl.com…
#7 – Put Drawers or Shelves Under Every Work Surface
I love the post-Christmas and Father’s Day sales because that’s when rolling tool cabinets go on sale. I feel like I can never have too many. They are instant drawers for storage and they look perfect in any shop! Plus, you can slap a work surface on top of them. Take two waist-high rolling cabinets and put a nice sized work surface they both fit under. Bolt the work surface to the cabinets to create a rolling cart. The possibilities are endless. Here’s my quick and dirty welding cart made with a healthy chunk of steel bolted to a rolling tool cabinet with fire bricks to insulate it:
My simple welding cart. Work surface on fire brick insulators, Supplies in drawers, and the square tube pullout holds a vise…
Look for spots in your shop where you could add a rolling tool cabinet, wait for the sales, and add one each year. You’ll be surprised at how handy they are.
Track down old file cabinets–they’re sturdy, cheap and can be used as the carcasses for all sorts of custom storage.
This one is on a rolling frame and nests underneath the workbench the Emco CNC Mill is on.
This filing cabinet was converted to a vertical locker by removing the drawers and making a wooden door of the same color. Used filing cabinets are cheap and easy to modify!
#8 – Use the Space Behind a Work Surface or Cabinet (Great Garage Storage Idea!)
Behind-bench storage might be just the ticket…
#9 – #12: Use Marginalized Spaces in Gaps and Ends
Eventually, you realize there’s quite a lot of marginal space–space where you can’t fit a tool cabinet or shelves. This is especially true for garage storage and basements.
That space is still useful:
#9: Don’t let your rafters go to waste!
#10: Did you forget the attic? I love this idea for a lift to make it easy to move things back and forth to the attic…
#11: Side of a cabinet becomes a storage surface…
#12 – Spray Can Rack is perfect for the little gap between the shelves and the door jamb…
#13 – #15: Create Special Purpose Parts Cabinets and Screw Storage Cabinets
Small parts seem like the bane of my organizational existence. There are so many of them needed for CNC projects. Plus we’ve got all the consumables such as cutters, inserts, and the like that go with the machines. I decided many years ago to create a special purpose parts cabinet and It only took a couple of hours to make and I have loved it ever since. I only wish I’d made a much bigger version with stronger shelves:
#13: Small parts storage cabinet. Eventually I will use most of the cubbies to hold multi-compartment plastic boxes. Each one contains a particular size hardware. I even put the taps for that hardware size in the box. It’s great to grab the box and take it to where I’m working and have all the hardware that goes together.
#14: DIY Hardware Organizer. Take a bunch of those little benchtop parts cabinets with all the drawers and stick ’em on a Lazy Susan Carousel. Voila! Now you got room to organize a lot of small parts!
#15: Here’s a really nice version of the parts-box-in-cabinet approach. Each box is on a shelf with drawer pulls.
#16 – #23: Organize Shelves and Drawers
Okay, you’ve got shelves 15 levels deep. You’ve got drawers that have drawers with drawers on their drawers (what did he just say!). Some are vertical, some are diagonal, every nook and cranny has been turned into storage and there’s just no space left to poach.
Then you open a drawer and it’s a confused jumble of random stuff. It’s time to start using the space you have more efficiently!
#16: Utility Shelf Ideas. Use milk crates to organize shelves…
#17 – Sawdust Girl’s Sliding Drawer Organizers (DIY Tool Box Organizers) are easy to make and take advantage of drawer height…
#18 – Another great idea from Sawdustgirl: use pegboard to make an adjustable drawer organizer…
#19 – Machine pocketed trays from plastic or wood to organizer bits, tools, and other items in your drawers…
#20 – Cordless tools in a vertical deep drawer–awesome! We’ve all seen wall mounted versions of this, but using the vertical deep drawer maximizes the storage efficiency. All that’s needed is a charging station for each type of battery that stays plugged into a cord fished out the back…
#21 – This angle grinder storage with the posts for the wheels is awesome, but a version in a vertical drawer like the cordless tools above would be even better…
#22 – Of course you did know about Schaller Boxes, right? These little injection molded boxes make it easy to subdivide a drawer…
#23 – I admit it: French Fitting tools into two colors of foam is my idea of the ultimate organization luxury.
#24 – Throw Something Away: Key for Garage Storage where space is limited
Look, I was hoping not to bring this up, but that 2000 lb elephant in the room we’re not talking about? That’s all the stuff you are never going to fit into a nice neat place no matter how many nifty Kaizen foam drawers you manage to come up with. It’s too irregular, too unruly, too messy, too, too, too–impossible to contain!
I did come across one idea that was interesting and totally different for how to approach this issue of throwing away your treasures. It’s not really an organization idea, but rather a rationale for getting rid of things. It came out of my research on Lean Manufacturing. The idea is simple and logical, if hard to execute because it will almost certainly mean parting with some of your “treasures”.
Basically, the advice is to get quotes on shop floor space per square foot per year. Then you go to your various stored items and decide whether they’re worth more than cost of storing them for a year or two. If they’re not, and you won’t use them in the next year or two, get rid of them. It’s cheaper to buy them again if a need turns up.
Try a 3 step program for your sickness: organize, strip, and toss. You’re a scrounger, let’s face it, that’s part of the problem. But let’s at least get similar things together. And if some of those things are similar mostly because they have good bits you plan to scavenge, let’s do the first part of the scavenging up front and toss what isn’t scavengeable. That’s the essence of the Organize, Strip, and Toss concept. So, pick some basic categories. For example, electric motors:
A bin of scavenged motors for future projects…
Grab a bunch of milk crates or other containers, decide what your categories are, rope off some weekend time, and start working through that pile of bones stripping what’s useful and tossing the rest. In no time, you’ll have made your spare parts collection a lot more useful and gotten rid of a bunch of stuff you were never going to use no matter what. Phew!
#25 – Don’t Forget the Labels!
So, after 26 consecutive weekends installing shelving, rolling tool carts, and sorting through all those treasures, you have a fabulously clean and organized workshop. Wow, can’t believe it’s finally done!
As your tired but proud eyes survey the scene, you heave a happy sigh, but it catches in your throat as you think about tackling the next project. You’re going to need a certain special tool that you thought you’d lost, but discovered again as part of the cleanup. Unfortunately, all you can see is drawer and cabinet pulls in every direction. There are hundreds of them, and you have no idea what’s behind each door. There’s just too many of them and you were in a hurry to get things put away.
What new manner of organizational curse is this? Noooooooooooooooooooooo…………
Wait. Calm down. There is help here too. You forgot to label things as you went, but it isn’t too late.
In the old days, we would’ve turned to the ubiquitous “Dymo Label Maker”. These pistol-shaped gadgets embossed raised white letters on colored plastic tape with peel-off stickum on the backside. Those things are antiques nowadays though because of the advent of label makers that have full keyboards, LCD displays so you can edit and avoid that crucial mistake two characters before finishing, and they print on clear tape that will stick to most anything. You can get different colors too, so for example if you want contrast versus a dark background you might want white letters instead of black.
The old Dymo Label Makers have been superseded by more modern technology in label making…
Using these goodies you can put a label on every drawer, crate, and shelf to make finding things easier.
Highly recommended!
#26 – Cheap and Cheerful Modular Tool Organizer
There are lots of useful organizer products out there.
I came across this neat idea while reading a post from Garage Journal. It’s a neat blog for the garage and auto enthusiast, and I read it just because a lot of the ideas are also great for CNC’ers and machinists. In this case, the post was about how to organize your 1/4″ bits. You know, all those little goodies that you can pop into an impact driver or socket setup. They’re handy, but easy to lose and hard to organize. I’ve left most of mine in the rubbery cases they came in, but I really like this idea better:
The FreeZone® Storage System…
You can insert the bits directly into the squares or they also sell little clamps and holders that can secure things that don’t fit the holes. I like French Fit drawers better for larger items, but this is very cool for organizing little bits and other goodies that will fit the holes. Best of all, the system is available very inexpensively from Lee Valley. I can see one of these to fit one of the smallest drawers in my tool chest and letting all these little bits live there.

Track down some old airline food carts for stock storage: they’re long, wheeled, and open at both ends. So handy!
#28 – Avoid Obstacles by Thinking Out of the Box: Tight Garage Storage Solution
Just because there is no room to open a cabinet door is no reason not to have a cabinet there.
#29 – Create Specialized Workstations
DIY Tool Storage Cabinet. Grinding and Sharpening Workstation…
This is such a wonderful idea we have an entire page devoted to different kinds of custom workstation. Probably the most common type you will have seen are welding carts, and we have a page for those too.
#30 – Swing Up Storage
This is just another way to reclaim space that’s under counters and work surfaces where it is wasted. These ideas are courtesy of the Family Handyman blog, which has a lot of other great ideas worth checking out.
Flip-up grinder storage…
Hide your vice until it’s needed…
#31 – Clever Binder Part Storage
There are never enough good ideas for organization, but I really liked this idea of using 3-ring binders for small parts storage I saw on the MAKE magazine blog:
Nice color code diagram on the outside of the resistor storage binder…
Plastic pockets hold the goodies…
There’s no end of things you could put in them. I’m envisioning binders for carbide insert storage. Divide them up by type of tooling, put some quick reference info on like the guy did with the resistor color codes (match tooling to insert type, with notes on SFM and chip load for various materials and applicability of various insert grades that have worked) and you’re there. Someone probably already makes exactly the right thing to go in the 3-ring binder to maximize its usefulness for this application too.
#32 – Adam Savage’s Clever Alternative to Toolboxes
What’s better: crazy crowded drawers or a nice vertical organized tool stand?
I’m a toolbox fanatic. Almost every year when they go on sale after Father’s Day or Christmas, I look over the deals, and buy another rolling tool box. It seems like there are never enough drawers available to really organize a shop, and this has been my answer. But, maybe there are other answers. Adam Savage, he of the MythBusters TV program, has a lot of tools too, and he hates Tool Boxes. He believes “drawers are the place things go to die.” His ideal is being able to find things at a glance without rummaging around in a bunch of drawers. My ideal has been to french-fitting all the tools in tool box drawers, but somehow, I still have never gotten around to it.
Enter Adam Savage’s Tool Organizer Stand. It’s his alternative to drawers. Check it out:
With this novel approach, Savage achieves three ideals at once for tool storage and access:
1. It’s portable. If you’re tired of running back and forth to the toolbox, you’ll like this idea. Just drag the Tool Organizer over to where you’re working and everything you need is handy. It’s mounted on casters and as you’ll see from the video, it’s very easy to move around, whether to get to a new work area or just to spin it around to access tools on all four sides.
2. It’s dense packed. Savage achieves a very high density–there are a lot of tools in a very small space on this thing.
3. You can see what you want. Tools are logically grouped by type and everything is very visible. Nothing hides under other tools or in a closed drawer.
He has more than one of these things. The other isn’t shown very much, but it has the standard organizers for drill bits and other cutters. I could see a stand like this set up to keep toolholders together with new inserts, cutters, and twist drills handy in a small CNC shop.
I am tempted to give one a try. The stand certainly doesn’t look hard to build, and if nothing else, I’d be more likely to put the tools back where they go with a rig like this instead of leaving them on the nearest flat surface. A CNC Router with a big enough table could be knocking one of these out in no time.
Check Out Adam Savage’s 2001 Space Suit Cosplay
I wondered what sorts of projects were being made in the workshop lately, so poked at some of the latest video uploads. Savage does a lot of Cosplay (basically, making costumes that match movies, comics, and other media). I got a real kick out of his 2001 A Space Odyssey replica space suits. They’re faithful to the original movie:

interesting ideas, choice of materials and schemes
Rational use of space in a children's room is not always possible. After all, it can be difficult to choose strong and suitable for specific needs children's furniture for your interior. A real way out of this situation will be a home-made children's shelf for toys and books: interesting ideas, choice of materials and schemes that parents can make themselves if they wish.
Contents
- 1 Benefits of making your own furniture 9,0007 for toys with their own hands, made to the baby by dad and mom can significantly raise the authority of parents in the eyes of the child. In addition, your project has a lot of undeniable advantages:
- you can save money by saving;

- Do-it-yourself cloud shelf in the nursery looks original and there will be a strong confidence that no one else will have such a shelf. nine0008
- If a child loves to read, then a do-it-yourself book shelf in the nursery in the form of triangles or circles in the middle divided by half will solve the problem of storing printed publications.
- An original idea would be a shelf in the form of a sprawling tree, on the branches of which you can place various baby items.
More often than not, young families do not have huge apartments, and saving every centimeter of free space plays a big role here. Children always have a lot of “necessary things” that are just lying around in different places and mothers constantly do not know where to put them. Do-it-yourself children's shelves are of different types: floor, corner, wall. Shelves made on the upper tiers of the walls are considered especially functional. A lot of children's stuff is usually placed there, and they save a lot of limited living space. nine0003
From what to build
It is not difficult to choose material for the realization of what was planned now. Do-it-yourself children's shelves can be made from plastic or a combination of metal and wood. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Wooden shelves are a classic. Wood as a material is environmentally friendly and safe. It is easy to saw and cut the material with any tool and it is easy to give it any shape. Children's shelves made of plywood are short-lived for 1-5 years, but also strong. But wooden ones can last up to 30 years without losing their original attractiveness. nine0003
Do-it-yourself plastic children's bookshelf will be practically in no way inferior to a wooden one. Plastic is made taking into account modern technologies and withstands high mechanical loads.
Note!
Manufacturers tend to claim that plastic is safe and does not emit chemical compounds, but do not forget that it is highly flammable.
The main advantages of plastic furniture include:
The combination of wood and metal is an option where there is quality and reliability. Usually the frame is made of metal, and the shelves are wooden. For example: a do-it-yourself shelf for children's books, made with the help of metal and wood, will, without exaggeration, be considered eternal and it will not face any deformation. Any of the listed materials will be a worthy alternative to store products, the main thing is to think over the very idea of your design correctly and positively. nine0003
What to make
Having prepared the material and place for the shelves, you should not forget the main thing - the purpose. To do this, it is advisable to talk with the child and ask what he would like to see on his shelves. A do-it-yourself shelf for toys in a nursery can be made in the usual classic style. An ordinary plank, carefully screwed to the wall, will already be able to accommodate several dolls or bears.
Place for toys
If you go further and apply a little imagination and hard work, you can make figured shelves for a nursery out of plywood with your own hands using a jigsaw. Such a work will already look much more effective and beautiful. Having covered the shelf with varnish, or enamel, and then you can’t distinguish it from a store product. Another interesting solution would be a shelf for toys in a nursery photo using ropes. Such ideas are very popular now. They look original and are very easy to create. Ropes or ropes are screwed to the wall, and planks or plywood are inserted into them. nine0003
Book house
Children's book shelf can be made from old spice shelves. They are very suitable for preschool children. For older children, a do-it-yourself floor-standing children's bookshelf would be ideal. Such shelves are usually made in the form of squares and are several sections high. The advantage of floor shelves is their great functionality and easy assembly and fastening. An interesting idea may be to use old vintage things that will look extraordinary in the room space. nine0003
Place for a car park
For boys, shelves for children's cars with their own hands are of great importance. Instill a habit from childhood to keep your cars in the garage and monitor their safety. A do-it-yourself shelf-house will be just a garage with a roof and will create order and the impression of a thrifty owner, which will eventually take root in a child.
Another option to use a shelf with a house with your own hands is to make a clothes hanger out of it under the roof. The child will learn not to scatter his things anywhere, but to hang them in a strictly prescribed place. nine0003
Shelves
A shelving unit for a nursery, for example, a do-it-yourself house, is an idea that a child will 100% like. It can be used both as a do-it-yourself book shelf for a nursery, as a wardrobe, and as a table. Moreover, such an open closet is suitable for children of all ages and gender. Girls, by imagining, can make a shelf for toys, and boys can place their toy tools, soldiers and even school supplies. Racks can be made of wood, plastic and metal. He teaches order and the little man will firmly know and understand what and where he put. nine0003
The most interesting racks:
Decoration
Shelf decoration is also not an easy question and the answer is unequivocally what and how can not be done. Only small recommendations can be given:
We must not forget that girls and boys need different objects and devices for their study and creativity. It is worth considering everything for years, as the child will grow and his priorities will change. nine0003
It's better to make something for the nursery with your own hands. Parents who decide to make such devices for the child should try to discuss with him his needs, then trusting relationships between adults and children are created in the family from childhood.
how the culture of consumption will change - Archive
All commentators come to the same modest conclusion: they offended their own again; the non-commissioned officer's widow flogged herself again. It's like that. But this time she is sure that she carved herself in marble. nine0003
There is grandeur and posture in refusing food in public. There is also an important meaning: not to spite the enemies, but to the fear of the enemies. We know how to stun gentle Europeans. Both the potlatch, the immoderate, illogical waste that was so close to the Russian rich, the berserkers of consumption, and the illogical refusal to consume are equally frightening. The second one is probably even worse.
A new type of eater comes to the fore — not a hipster from Jean-Jacques, but a knight of asceticism, protected from ridicule and misunderstanding by an outer armor, motionless bright ideas. Hipster - such reproaches are heard - ate his turnips on oysters; a warrior will strengthen his oyster armor by eating turnips. nine0003
But let's suppose that the decree "On the Application of Certain Special Economic Measures for the Purpose of Ensuring the Security of the Russian Federation" has already been done in order to intimidate the enemy by demonstrating unbending will and strength. This case is rather external, a showcase of the event. How should we be now, living in a new inner space?
The fact is that food meant a lot in the cultural structure of the new Russia.
Not so long ago, I looked at a curious collection of fine art, composed mainly of leads and still lifes of elderly artists of the Moscow Union of Artists. A number of museums have such collections - Soviet painters of a strong school, but not of the first hand, created on a whim, their paintings adorned the rooms of legendary Moscow hotels; exhibitions were organized in the wide halls of the houses of culture. And now it's in storage. It's even embarrassing. This is how honest canvases are without abysses, but with history, with atmosphere. Again, frozen life. An idea was born: what if we somehow freshly imagine, say, Moscow still lifes? As if they were a pre-Instagram, a kind of everyday fixation of gastro-beauty; like pictures of food; anticipated and predicted the coming of total infatuation. The idea, frankly, is not brilliant, but it also failed: the Soviet artist, judging by the canvases, ate only two things in his life - lilac and herring. Moreover, highly paid people, mature socialism in the yard. But creativity required drama - and herring and lilac are dramatic. So neither petty-bourgeois Czech crystal, nor amateur sausage were allowed into eternity - and this would be both true and frozen life. The Soviet creator and Soviet people (by the seventies and eighties - and these years are considered the most nostalgically capacious) from childhood were accustomed to the fact that the stomach is not lofty and not romantic; with such a position, both empty shelves and grocery sets somehow did not scratch the soul. nine0003
And how now to return to the same shelves and sets, when Yandex gives eight million responses to the query "cooking recipe"; and the leaders of these very requests are food, cats and porn, and porn is exactly what is in third place?
When admiring food is one of the pillars of a billion-dollar Instagram, and when there are much more cooking shows than socio-political ones? And it's not that the triumphant kitchen was precisely a private territory and a private affair of a snickering hipster; it was also a matter of state, a proof of the state's correct work: it was generally accepted that the country had fifteen years of stability and the stress of fifteen years of instability. nine0003
Over the years, a generation has grown up that has grown up and made itself for completely different times and circumstances, and for the second time an unexpected turn in the life story is happening before my eyes.
Well, let's share the experience of the previous stunned generation. Not everything is so scary. The aesthetics of the Soviet store - black and white, disturbing, poor - this is not the aesthetics of hunger, but just feeding.
There will be no famine even now (at least not in connection with the decree), but the atmosphere of feeding may be revived. Don't worry, she's warm. Nothing unites the citizen and the state like a slight lack of food. The value of a store full of goods is nothing compared to the value of a half-empty store. nine0003
It wafts cold from a bare white store shelf, but carries warmth from the back room. From there, products are taken out. In 1998, everyone wrote that there is nothing scarier than a bare white shelf. It becomes an object, it manifests individuality. A man who has ever seen a woman naked will never treat her the same way. It's the same with a shelf - once she gets naked at least once, and she will never be just a shelf. She is frightening.
But we are from the USSR. You won't scare us with a bare shelf. We know the main secret of Soviet trade. Any store where food is delivered is a place of concentration of order, the triumph of order and accustoming to a new order. In recent years, when going to the nearest supermarket has become a typical Sunday family pastime, the store has also become a center of attraction for the neighboring community. nine0003
A small shortage of food, although it gives rise to discontent, but binds to the new order more firmly. And affection is a warm feeling. After all, what makes power wrong? Behaves as promised, filters the market.
And each of us has the opportunity not only to feel the warmth of the community, but also to find an artistic turn in the matter. This is another way to deal with the situation - asceticism can also become fashionable. She's almost in.
Didn't guilt-free restaurants, serving "guilty-free" food, become more and more popular over the last touring summer? This is exactly what is now spreading throughout the country. nine0003
Or the paleo diet, which has come into force and popularity, again, what you need. Eat only what grows and is found in your geographic zone - and it is better that "products related to the Paleolithic era, that is, before the development of agriculture." “Wild squirrel” can be eaten (this, God forgive me, is game), but you can also eat river snails and dandelions. Mice are allowed, field mice. And these paleo diets are called piercingly, in the spirit of the time. One of the popular ones is called Primitive Breakthrough.
And isn't the best metaphor for what's going on - the opening of the restaurant "Mozhno" based on Dukan's diet?
We now have a communal restaurant of pure, guilt-free products spread across the fields. Theirs is possible.
And even necessary - because there is, of course, a bright reason for everything that happens. And they appeared, there were already fresh folk ditties on a topical topic. One of them, in general, closes the topic of sanctions: “From McDonald's, food rules the world.
