This should be an on going video series. Make more shop videos like this as time allows. It took Doug 30 years it will take you just as long and tools and things will change and need updated. Keep it up and the shop will be something you will be proud of and show off. Love the videos keep it up.

One thing I learned from my grandfather was to take Mason jars of various sizes and screw the lids up underneath the shelves in my tool shed. I then fill the jars with various sizes of loose nuts, bolts, cotter pins, and other small items, and then you simply screw the jar up under the shelve(s) and they hang there ready for you to grab whatever you need. The clear glass eliminates any guess work on what’s in the jars. Fast, cheap and functional! I have also been using plastic versions of the jars since they came on the market.

That works well until you drop a jar, accidentally hit it, or screw it into the wrong location.

If I can offer any advice on what to buy first is buy storage/cabinets workbenches first. Even if it’s used off marketplace just get places to put stuff you can upgrade to toolboxes and better cabinets later but it’s way harder to add storage after you fill your shop with stuff. And don’t have anywhere to put things.

Hey Adam. Workshop organization tours/builds are always huge on KZbin. It's a fairly untapped market on your channel, so it would be worth the effort in subs to pursue it. Even a once a month build or area of the shop/garage focus should bring a loyal new batch of subscribers. Everyone loves to see new ways to organize stuff and see that they're not alone in not living in perfection all the time. We all have stuff that we wised was more organized/better stored and we know that if we do it, our work/hobby will be all the better for it. There are tons of successful woodworking channels that almost exclusively build shop organizers. Jay Bates, John Heisz and April Wilkerson pop into mind (although all do build things other than organizers) and Steve Ramsey's content is crammed full of small shop ideas/tips. It's a fun (and lucrative) path, if you're interested. The added bonus is most of those people are also interested in your tractor, wood cutting, pond building, etc and will watch it all. Keep up the great work! P.S. Tool companies LOVE to sponsor/provide free stuff to KZbinr's getting views. ; P

Great video Adam. One tip that I came across was from watching an auto-body tech installing a new convertible top on an old classic car. He had to paint some brackets that held the top on the car and to produce a clean, run-free finished product, he used a heat gun to heat the metal and then spray paint to brackets while heating them. Produces a near powder-coated finish. I've used this tip on a few items I've painted that were metal, and the results were excellent. Trust you will find this useful!

"A little grinding and paint makes a welder you ain't". Personally I like to have a tool wall in back of my work bench and put all of my most used hand tools on it. Each tool has an outline of the tool and nails driven into the board to hold the tool. That way I can work on project that might be tall and not have height restrictions by the shelf over the bench to hold tools like you have. The important thing is that you have started to organize your shop and as time goes by you will see what works and what can be better, good Idea using screws that will make changes easier in the future.

Lots of great ideas. My garage resembles your garage before you began the makeover. I like how you made the brackets for the chain saws and I would think they would work well for other yard equipment i.e. edger, leaf blower, hedge trimmer etc. Also liked the idea of labeling the PVC pipe for each tool that way if there is one tool not in its place, you will know which one is missing.

Getting things up off the ground, and getting the basic hand tools organized is absolutely key. I keep my wrench suitcase (similar to your husky case) in a lockable cabinet which has my hanging 20v tools mounted to the underside of the top shelf- the PVC is far too expensive so I made my hangers out of scrap 3/4" ply with slots cut into it, and same material to make the stiles/verticals that the panel are screwed into and that screw into the upper shelf from the top- made it for the price of the 12 screws holding it together. My larger 20v tools like skilsaw, sawmill and railgun go up on the top shelf. The charging station is located on the end of my bench where there is power. I did not install the chargers inside the upright locker due to heat/ventilation and not wanting to cut a hole in the cabinet as mice/critters cannot get in.

The ones that are more than just shelves. you mount this mounting system to the wall but you can buy a shelf that mounts to it or hooks or double hooks for hanging rakes or shovels or even larger hooks for hanging a bicycle. There are all kinds of attachments that fit into the wall mount system. Same idea as your saw hooks. instead of lying on the floor or shovels or rakes stacked in a corner, they are nice and neat on the wall.

One minor thing he could do there is to use a digital angle finder much like what is used on a table saw. The block of wood is fine, the angle finder makes it easier if you are using multiple angles. There are numerous brands, mine is a Wixey. Thank you! Keep up the great work. Also you maybe aware of Travis on “Shop Nation”. He too is all about shop organization.

Great Video! Subscribed! Suggestion: If you paint the inside especially the ceiling use white paint with a tiny bit of sky blue mixed in. It really brightens things up. When I painted my shop I bought a 5 gallon bucket of white and had them add enough blue for a quart of sky blue. It looks white until you put something that really is white on it. I also recommend gloss so it is easier to clean up. Painting the concrete floor helps clean up too. I like light grey. It helps reflect light up under whatever you are working under.
