Effective shop storage and organization on a budget

This is a quick run through of the Unitedstatesofbuild shop organization techniques and different storage bins. This shop wears many different hats and needs a wide array of supplies. It can be hard to effectively store so many things. Watch to see how its done here:

Great ideas that you've implemented. I really think my production efficiency would go up significantly with an organized setup like yours. Thanks.

Thanks for watching! Glad you got some ideas

Great Organization!

[@atVVV1]

Sharp, thanks for the tips!

[@erikandersen4811]

That’s awesome man!! Looking to tidy up my shop.

[@SCWD_US]

Great video and info! That last shelf was crying for a center support!

[@triumfant2]

nice organization I also think it shows in your work.

[@joebriggs9599]

Nice thanks for the tips.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for watching!!

Very nice organization. I get the Durham MFG metal organizers for small stuff. And I make shelf’s to fit the cardboard fold together bins. I buy them from McMaster Carr.

[@RatRodBobBuilds]

Nice .... I'm all in. Gotta get some of them containers.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Hey Bob! Good to hear from you! I haven't seen anything from you and Red lately, was beginning to miss you!

I built similar shelves to hold small parts bins in my shop then I went one step further to catalog everything. I numbered each shelf and each space on the shelf and listed each part in a rolodex. If I need number 8x1-1/2" wood screws I can look in the rolodex under wood screws, #8 x 1-1/2 and it tells me they are on shelf B, slot 12.

I guess this is the next step in organizing my shop: sort bolts like you did. I actually sorted it in those three stupid categories: smaller (1/4' - 5/16' - 3/8) bigger (1/2 & up), longest (6'' & up)... Great tips, great job! Nice shop too!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks Joe! As you can see the floor level of the bolt bins is the too-long stuff and the 10lb+ quantities that wouldnt fit in the shelving...There's always those few things that dont cooperate....

[@Flyingmikey62]

Damn, I wish I was 1/5th as organized as you! Thanks for the motivation!!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

It hasnt always been this way. Every year I knock out a few organization improvements. It sure makes a big difference on productivity.

[@35jays]

Just stumbled on your video. Thanks for the ideas. The storage shelfs for your gray bins, is that 3/4” plywood? Does the plywood sag in the middle over time? How wide are the side support for your gray bin storage? Thanks again for the video and ideas!

[@tornadokat]

That looks great but I am curious how those shelves will hold up over that 3 or 4 foot span if the bins are fully loaded with heavy screws/bolts/nuts/washers. I'm thinking a vertical support of some sort midway across might be helpful to prevent sagging over the years this thing will last?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Theyre nailed every 4" or so through the back side also. That takes a lot of the weight. I have a few heavily loaded and there is minimal sag. Thanks for watching!

[@davidbarton3969]

I disagree. I simple nailer strip of 3/4" down the middle will stop the sagging we can see in the video.

[@chipsammich2078]

Awesome set up and video run through thanks alot man I'll be implementing some of your techniques and definitely be using the products your recommending.. PS- Do you have a box for sock hats lol jk

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Glad to hear you got some info! Good luck on you project!!

[@OutlawEdge]

Thats crazy! Your at farmers blacksmith in california right? I live in Minnesota now but that was always my favorite place to buy stuff in bulk. Small world 👍😀

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

haha, Yep. Its a great joint, they've done a good job organizing it. It used to be a little tough to navigate. The back half is screws, nails, consignment tools etc now. How long ago did you move and from what town?

[@OutlawEdge]

I moved three years ago. I lived in linden California. Right down the road from the blacksmith shop. 👍

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Awesome! Glad you found the channel!

[@donbrown3599]

I have different C clamp, do you have any ideas how to store them? What is the model # of the plastic CD holders?

[@mikesanchez1000]

I know I am late on commenting but the sterilite bins with the plastic tops slow down corrosion. Am I correct?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Im not sure about corrosion, Ive never had much issue with it where I live. The lids do help keep the contents much cleaner and dust-free.
