All about Tool Storage
The Island Workshop was a pretty cool video. I like the way he had everything setup. Only thing that I didnt care for was the location of the planner. Great link Thanks
Those are great links, Marc. We had to store a bunch of stuff in our garage this summer and just got it out today. I spent the day trying to rearrange my shop so I could get all my tools stored and get both cars in. (I know from the “King and His Castle” podcast your against this, but in Minnesota you don’t have a choice when it snows!).
The links you provided have some great tips and have given me even more ideas to help maximize my space.
Everyone can benefit from shop organization advice, whether they are pro or novice, have a big shop or a small one. Thanks for covering a topic we can ALL identify with!
P.S. I do wish I had your shop, though… :-)
