All I could think about through this video was "why didn't I think of that" Great video. Thumbs up

[@jimmyponds5504]

Very much so! Great video!!

[@liviusdiyworkshop1012]

Pretty cool! Did one useful myself too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKOVd6aqd9t9fM0

[@catalyst2112]

I come from a construction family in many phases. It is truly inspiring to see young people, like yourself teaching us old dogs new tricks. Keep it up! I do have an interest in that horizontal peg board jar organizational thing. Please advise on that.

[@unlukyluke]

Dear April, I really love what you do. It's so inspiring. I live on a small farm in Germany and bought a Woodmizer a few months ago. After watching all of your videos i started with woodworking and I really love building sawhorses. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Keep on doing what you do. Greetings from Germany, Lukas

[@jimherchak7505]

Wow! Short & sweet, & actually useful! I think I'll bookmark this one.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@28alaw]

This is the one that I will use and LOVE the most!!! Reuse and recycle EVERYTHING!!! They make fun of me, but I save everything and this is why!!! Thank you for the ideas.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Love that! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

[@MrTarfu]

A good addition to the magnet drill chuck holder is to add a retractable keychain thing to it so that its tethered to the place and can't possibly be put anywhere else.

[@williambuckley1185]

Great tips. Thanks April.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@zachwooster4555]

These tips are actually SO GOOD and simple! I seriously can’t believe how I’ve never thought of some of these before! Thank you for making this video! It’s honestly the best video I’ve seen on shop storage to date.

[@eepjayerdnay]

So often I find "tip" videos are full of either blatantly obvious ideas, or ones that terribly lame/impractical. This is an exception to that! Great ideas and things I haven't seen before or thought of myself. Thanks April!

[@ccpeter68]

Sometimes I don’t really care about what you are making, but I love to just listen to you. Everything you do you put your whole self into it. Hope you make videos for a long time. When I build my shop next year I will be getting some charts to hang.

[@Cristi4n_Ariel]

The tip at the 0:36 mark, so ingenious yet so simple! Thanks for that.

[@markperron851]

April I have recently retired and am in the process of tossing 47 years of accumulated junk from my career. This could not have been timed better as I finally organize the chaos. Thank you for sharing so many great ideas in one video.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! And congrats on your Retirement. Enjoy!

[@cheppyrinalzi721]

Beautifull and smart...love it...thanks👍🏻👍🏻

[@terrigelbaum8066]

I've been watching you since you started. I remember you telling how you got started in woodworking.. And look at you now.....I am proud of you.........blessings to you always

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy my channel and are still along for the ride. :)

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, I have watched you from the beginning of your videos and you have always had good ideas, I use most of the ones shown today, I have one 4 you, I installed plastic rain gutters on the edges of all my benches which R also on casters, plastic because you can't get cut and they bend and return quickly, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@lourias]

April, I think you just might be one of the most informative KZbinr woodworker!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying my Channel. :)

[@gsmith128251]

I'm a old shop teacher and these are great. Your great kid.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you liked it!

[@wingrider1004]

One of the best "organizing on the cheap" videos I have seen...well done!

[@bwillz2230]

-Cover the magnet for the drill press in plasti-dip or resin. If not it will break over time from the key hitting it -Use a wire nut to seal silicone caulk.

[@oliverclarkstudio]

good video. lots of good info. thank you.

[@chrislizon7483]

Forget tips 1-17. The biggest tip here is use plywood for walls so you can screw things everywhere with no issues. I think this video just sold me on that.

[@jackmaher4466]

I used Red Oak plywood for the wall of my watch repair shop. I am selective where I drill holes though as it is a nice finish. But that was the original reason I chose plywood. It does work great. Also my shop can be taken down easily as it is all screwed together. If needed.

[@paulp.l.4869]

I install plywood instead of gypsum in the kitchen. Cabinets and tiles go on nice and easy.

[@bayoudriftcreations5923]

I'm building a plywood wall, tonight, because it's easier to screw, than concrete. 😂

[@Chris-14all]

You are so right! All that Tips Here need also a big room for each. I have only a very small Shop and habe to calculate with each half Inch. I buy or Made my storage Tools only If i found a good rooms saving solution and the plywood allows me to do ist my way. And also the Concret behind ist too hard 😉

[@iFixJunk]

... except that it's not flame retardant.

[@donwilliams3626]

Quote of the day: "organizing a shop is never ending!" I have been moving a few things in my shop and will incorporate several of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful.

[@mikereppert97]

I use the back of door show organizers for everything haha pantry, coatcloset for hats and glove, hall closet for hairbrushes and bandaid and stuff, shop for batteries and small tools

[@leegraves101]

I been using one for years to hold spray paint. I also use a dish towel rack to hold spray bottles. Hook the triggers over the towel bar

[@VioletDeVille]

These. Are. Brilliant! My workspace is a part of a garage and these are genius.

[@andycampanella3602]

I have been building and fixing things everything from engine rebuilds, home and deck construction to computers and the like. I am thoroughly impressed.

[@laurabarrerablas1831]

Wowwwwww este es el mejor video único en internet!

[@siriponrunkaputi2796]

Thank you, I like your variety options.

[@shepelkstone]

I am literally just taking a break from cleaning up my garage. I know you always have such a clean and organized shop so I thought I'd get some inspiration. I am now going back out to finish with a few of these great tips. Thanks!

[@junporras3366]

i like the pvc end cup and the chain😆

[@marylouochoa4653]

Excellent ideas!!!! Thank you

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you like them!

[@maingun07]

I've done the hook/drill holder and the picture hangers and I've seen multiple uses for PVC pipe storage, but the rest of this is new to me. Thanks, April!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

Nice tips! Thanks

[@8cupsCoffee]

I loved this video thanks April

[@FABBuildit]

I will probably steal some of these ideas

[@rockeysingh1475]

Thanks very much. Very easy to understand and follow.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tobyhottle9540]

Great tips April thanks 👍

[@JmanRx81]

Finally, garage storage solutions from a person that actually uses them day in and day out.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes! I love making improvements to my work and home space. Nothing more satisfying. Thanks for watching.

[@JmanRx81]

@@AprilWilkerson holy crap. April Wilkerson actually responded to my comment. I feel like a celebrity. Lol

[@iguesi]

I don't want storage above the surface of the workbench. It will get in the way. I put the magnet on top of my drill press. Nice idea for a tape rack... you could also use it for a paper towel roll. Thanks for the tips. Back in the day... grandpa would attach a mason jar lid to the bottom of a shelf. He'd put nails, screws, bolts, nuts, etc... in the jar and just store it quickly by screwing into the mounted lid.

[@Jessicaran]

Your videos are JUST what I've been looking for as I clean out and organize my shed!

[@oodoodoopoopoo]

I always store my glue bottles upside down to prevent the dried film on the inside of the nozzle. It also leaves the glue ready to flow immediately upon use. I set them inside of plastic cups so they will stand up and I can set them on any surface where I'm working.

[@judithclever1103]

I like some of your tips.

[@trussbox2270]

Very nice idea for organisation, thank you

[@shadowandbosco]

very helpful tips - thanks for sharing

[@jhscolombianito7598]

She really knows good ideas.

[@swishh55]

Timely since I'm taking stuff out of my shed trying to reorganize

[@nelsonpergui7859]

Thank you April! I hope you be fine, I appreciate the time invested!!! 🙂

[@AprilWilkerson]

You are so welcome!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that, organised shop

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

Every single one of these, I'm sitting here thinking to myself "genius!!". Maybe I'm easily impressed.....

[@michaelsunsdahl5874]

Agreed...except maybe the shoe organizer. :)

[@elyseallred2522]

Thanks for being so amazing and inspiring, April!!

[@FGUK1973]

Those are all an amazing solution to most workshop issues!! 10/10 again April!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikecarter6758]

Love both the electrical boxes and pipe cap tips! Thanks for sharing.

[@OldSneelock]

Great ideas. Shower curtain hooks for saws all blades. Genius. Lots more great ideas but that one I will use today. 😁😎

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Brings a smile to my face when I see one of my favorite KZbinrs watches another that I sub to.

[@OldSneelock]

@@tree_carcass_manglerNice to see you too. Been watching since she started. Great ideas. Most of them much bigger than my little operation. 😁😎

[@brooos]

I've watched a lot of storage idea videos but those were some of the best storage ideas I've ever seen.

[@Grunt49]

Another home run!

[@jimtownsend7899]

As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I had my comment in my head. Tip #12, with the shoe pouches, is one I've been using for quite some time. I have a very small workshop (which I share with the furnace and water heater!), and I have a cloth version of the shoe hanger. It is mounted on the back side of my door, and I keep most of my spray paint and poly cans in it. They are out of sight, out of the way, but super handy when I need them. A tip I have is to take 2' - 3' sections of heavy duty cardboard roller (as is used in carpet rolls), or you can use Schedule 40, and mount them on a wood base. It's best to cut a plywood round that fits in the end of the tube, and then attach the round to the base. Do this with 3 or 4 sections on the base, and you can keep dowels, scrap trim moulding, threaded rods, and other smaller width dimensional items in them. You could even put a lazy susan plate on the bottom, if desired. Thanks for the other tips, April! You gave some I haven't tried before, (I love Tip #1 and Tip #3 the best), and I'm eager to add them to my shop!

[@garrisonaw]

Great tips! I've been using #5 and #6 for about 20 years. It's great to see that I'm not the only one who does it!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@cletusrobinson]

Great stuff, April!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.

[@bettyolis6228]

Fantastic and unique storage solutions! THANKS

[@nevermindthebull0cks]

I buy the 16 oz glue bottles because I like the size to work with and I don't end up wasting it like I do gallon jugs. I keep the bottle upside down in a jar with a bit of water in the bottom, keeps the tip clean and the glue ready to come out with no shaking.

[@caisiebreen2931]

I love these tips as well as all of your videos. Keep rocking April. You're doing a great service.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks so much!

[@alydevine]

Impressive tips! Thanks!

[@patrickretsel7048]

Great ideas all....I love the fact your earrings look like spoons for fishing.....awesome 😎

[@yekaterinapanferova1410]

Well done. Good idea

[@michaeldanielsG19]

@April Wilkerson I just received the reply back from SmartJars concerning the Food Safe plastics. Regarding your question on food safety. The plastic we use to mold our jar and lids are safe for food storage. (Technically, the plastic meets U.S. CFR Title 21, Part 177, Subpart B, Section 177.1520 (c) 3.1a entitled “Olefin Polymers” of the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938.) Of course, as with any purchased product, you’ll want to wash these with regular dish detergent prior to use. Also, if you put these in the dishwasher, you’ll want to use the top rack only.

[@rickruhl7283]

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@kestrelpounces]

Great tips! We don't have much space for pegboard and needed versatile solutions to keep frequently use items nearby. I use a rolling cart for furniture flip supplies, and could easily even add some of these to the side of the cart! 👍 And our Sawz-all blades alone have been making me crazy!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

[@idlewildsage8088]

super great. Thank you!

[@skunked42]

AAARRRRGGGGG! Dang it! So simple why didnt I think of that!!! Also plastic downspout make a great place to store long stock. Drill big hole in one side, use that to attach with screws through the back side. Shower rings or those big aluminium 'biners work great for wrenches. Oh, and those steel pet flea collar tins plus a cheap magnetic strip work great to store all the bits and bobs from projects you are working on, taking apart something? Put all the screws in one, label it and slap it on the strip.

[@viviancovington7813]

Good stuff
