How to Declutter Your Workshop: Wranglerstar's Secrets to Cutting the Clutter

[@KSmith401]

I throw random wrenches, broken drivers, etc into my Misc. Steel bin and use it to forge into something useful down the road. If anything, it's free blacksmithing practice steel.

[@Yugo-CA]

your past few videos have inspired me to clean my shop, in the past week I have completely transformed my shop I still have a ways to go but now all my tools are in one location like you have mentioned in this video. Thank you.

[@streetpunk99]

No better fix for a persistent cough than a good ole fashion sauna. Building one isn't hard. I built mine 8x8 and found a used little wood stove on market place for 50 bucks. I might have a couple hundred bucks into the thing and it's one of my favorite projects I've done around my place. It's a great addition to the cold plunge regime. Plus it'd be a really cool series of videos to do.

[@cryptomystic8519]

Excellent. Best investment for health

[@pma7158]

Any videos of it being built?

[@lukeknezevic7267]

"Do I need this?" 2 weeks later... "What the he11 did I do with that?!"

[@mikerayle6103]

Until I had a shop built I had tools scattered. Upstairs,downstairs,main floor,both vehicles. And in boxes all over. I now have 90% in my tool boxes still have some organizing to do but when I started gathering them all. I found tools I forgot I had. You can be so much more productive when you have a dedicated spot. And not looking for a tool.

[@OldSneelock]

I stopped having all the tools in tool boxes and went with tool walls. Right there where I can see them and see if one is missing. 😁😎

[@mikerayle6103]

@@OldSneelock I have a lot of wall space but also have a lot of tools I'd be doing too much running around. I do miss having a small peg board for my run of the mill go to home owner tools. Screw drivers, hammer, Cresent wrench,channel locks ect...

[@NickAndTech]

This also goes for every little tool you have at home. I have one place where my scissors live, I always put them right back so when I automatically reach for them they're there. I just "upgraded" to a smaller desk to declutter and make some more space in my office. Over the past few days I've had things scattered all around but the small number of things I've reached for at least once are now in my one desk drawer immediately at hand. Even for those once-in-a-while but indispensable items it's good to have them close by so your eyes rest on them on a regular basis and once you need them you know exactly where they are.

[@chuck62830]

Such a nice cat, she looks happy and warm. Looks like you take good care of her. Good man.

[@Scrivscribe]

Some coloured heatshrink over your 8/10mm driver bit shank might make it easy to distinguish at a glance! 😊

[@CaNn3d-HA]

Every homeowner should have a junk drawer. Gives the wife something to bug us about.

[@markp.5618]

We've switched roles on that one.😂

[@applesauce5987]

I have some plastic halloween spiders and roaches in mine, seems to keep real spiders away

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

​@@markp.5618my wife has a junk room 😂... But she does seem to find a tangible usefulness in fixing a surprising amount of things with all that junk. Maybe she's the smart one round here 💭🤔

The cleanest junk drawer I’ve ever seen

[@stephensparks9350]

Thank you. I NEED this series. Going to share this with my son.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Dangit Cody! Get well brother.....I had the same mess in December!

It has to be the spraying Its the only common denom

Every man needs a good junk drawer.

[@carlzirk]

Organizing and watching organizing videos is therapeutic.

[@miquerto]

I like seeing the shop organization and different patterns folks have. Looking forward to part2, and thanks for sharing.

[@floorman92]

Same here in middle Tennessee. Won’t go away, kids to adults. Antibiotics didn’t even touch it.

[@zacharybabb970]

Stay strong! Got the same chest congestion for 3 weeks

[@Giomalmsteen]

Just got over a week-long stomach flu, lots of cases going around. Wasn't nearly as bad a dysentery I had almost 4 years ago from tainted subway spinach. Never ate there again, worst sickness I've ever had

[@joshm8661]

I had it for about a month myself, then was good for a month, then it's coming back again.

[@MrLandslide84]

And you probably paid $15 dollars for it. 😂@@Giomalmsteen

[@Giomalmsteen]

@@MrLandslide84 I think it was $8

[@unseenbirb3247]

i had a junk drawer so bad i just removed it from the desk

[@poodledaddles1091]

That’s funny!

[@thedude6617]

Bruh, I got the same cold. Ugh. My dad died and left me his stuff and i already had lots of stuff. I have a goal to sort my stuff, sell off, and donate what's not needed.

[@steveschartner7962]

Junk drawer is a necessity in mechanics.

[@Colton1776]

Please take care brother. Hate to see you sick like this. You are in my prayers.

[@walkercustoms]

I told my son if he helps me clean and organize my shop he can make half of it his. It's like 40x60 front 40' can be heated. Hopefully he takes me up on it but if not it's getting made over a little this year.

[@ztj-vv9zp]

Can you adopt me as your son?

[@perpersson1072]

im glad that i never took that flue shoot

[@Isaac_5.56x45]

I never took any shot for anything.

[@murphdoesit]

Same. No jabs for dad.

[@johnprater7588]

No jabs no boostas ever. Not going to comply.

[@ryefry]

I know people that got flu shots with COVID booster shots (at the same time). I ain't going there.

[@Snidedeluxe247]

No vaxx here. Feels great not having mystery juice in veins.

[@mattcoleman596]

Cody can you please do a full rebuild video or series on your bike please!? All your dirt bike videos are great and we can’t get enough. Please and thank you sir.

[@davidmercer5561]

It seems that all the people that I watch have this same sickness and it seems like it's hard to get rid of.

[@scaryjam8]

I was bed ridden for 10 days, felt a little better but had the sickness for another 2 weeks. Lost 30lbs, coughed for 4 weeks after I started feeling better. Lost my voice for two weeks of it. Whatever it is, is brutal.

[@floorman92]

That’s it. Tennessee here.

[@chuckinoveralls8198]

thanks for some motivation to start cleaning and clearing my shop…

[@tonyp8808]

I had same flu. Started 3 days before Christmas, was mid January before could say was feeling it go away some and fatigue easing up. And it was a nasty flu. If is a bio attack it's everywhere. We're down here in Georgia, just south of Atlanta.

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

I needed this

[@slackerbelmont]

5:55 Oof? If its any consolation your junk drawer is way more organized than mine.

[@zachsiebers5742]

I always keep my extra Allen wrenches around. They are good throw away tools when you need a piece of steel you don't care about destroying. So many use cases and they don't take up much space

[@Edsmedley]

Please bring us along for the bike rebuild

[@vbyler3119]

I had to take an Allen wrench and cut it down for a specific thing on my dump truck. It's not always dumb to keep extra

[@DarrylHadfield]

@wranglerstar it looks like you're flipping between task-centric (all pliers in one spot) and purpose-centric (all air tools in one spot) organization.. Do you have a way of identifying what you need or is it just "if you know you know" for you? I tend to stick with "specialty tools grouped by purpose - pneumatic impact wrenches in the Air Tools section" and "generic tools by task - wrenches in the wrench drawer".. that way if I need something to do a kind of task, I know to look in the area for where the tools for that task should be... but if I'm doing something more invovled and need a specialty tool, I know to look into the specialty tools storage areas. Of course, "specialty" tools will vary from person to person based on their perspective, but the concept will be the same, regardless..

[@Genri-fd5ec]

Not sure if this applies to me, but a LOT of people were into shooting up the jamba juice the past few years.

[@hellhound2260]

Man I love when the video starts and the camera zooms in on our guy, feels like I'm back at playing fallout new vegas.

[@jwristen24]

Never throw away a tool.

[@JeremiahOak]

It has also occurred to me, the thought of the almost embarrassing disorganization that my family might find if I were to kick the bucket. Haha one more reason to keep up than to catch up

[@chriswtburke]

it hit our family in December... I didn't get it, but the wife and kids did.. had it for a solid 4 weeks (no injections in our house)

[@patrickavondale8653]

Who makes those Allen wrenches? (the red green yellow ones)

[@drosdikmr7]

Paint the handles/ tape or mark in some way the specialty tools that are stored with your common tools. Like that master link clip pliers you created. They will be easier to find, you could color code them to specific jobs/ bikes as well.

[@ryansoutdoorlife6263]

I have been sick with a respiratory “something” since Christmas. It is now mid February and I still am coughing and never ending congestion. Took 10 days of anti-biotics after 1 month of symptoms. Cleared up a little for about a week and I am right back to where I was before the anti-biotics. 👎

This is approaching Mr. Rogers level status.

[@BOXERCRAZYBROWNCLOWN]

I feel ya, I had it for over 3 months !!!

[@rhouser1280]

That’s the most organized junk drawer I’ve ever seen

[@adude3179]

Organization is a big priority in our house right now. We’ve got a pretty good system down that requires little cognitive effort to maintain.

[@mrmatt2525able]

I used to carry spare stuff and tools when I went for rides, but like I have never really needed any of it. Maybe a multi tool to cut fencing wire i got tangled up in

[@warriorson7979]

Probably just c0v1d... Every time I get it I have different symptoms, but it always takes 3 or 4 weeks to get well again.😔

[@stefanmurillo8959]

Nice that you stay with your bike, saving vehicles by doing overall maintenance on regulary basis spare our enviroment the burden of polution that comes with any new produced vehicle. So have fun and be enviromental friendly is possible. Nice job. grettings from Hamburg BTW: Your workshop looks much more organized than any home user´s workshop i´ve seen in my whole life. Even most professional workshops are not on that level

[@joshm8661]

I've been battling the same thing. I had it a couple of months ago for a month, then was good for a month, then got it again.

[@AndrexT]

Wow, that went fast! Lots of great tips in there, thanks.

[@steveclark..]

Never throw spare tools away, sometimes you have to grind, cut, modify a spanner for example just to get in a space.

[@outlaworganics5991]

Everyone in our house got hit with that Covid +flu bio weapon going into wk 4.

[@dwoodog]

Organizing is a top 3 task of 2024 for me. My shop, and my audio video room.

[@Isaac_5.56x45]

Your probably being affected by proximity from all that west coast soy.

[@shorttimer874]

Saw on the news (Fox 13 Seattle) that there is a nasty bug going through the PNW possibly being transmitted by pet cats...

[@Marcel41021]

I also separate things by task. For instance I have a clear plastic box that houses all of my spare parts and tools for boiler repair and maintenance. I do the same for lawnmower repair. These plastic boxes are labeled as such so when I need to perform maintenance they are easily identifiable. Lol, government bio-weapon.

[@silentfletcher2472]

2 table spoons of local honey in the morning and at night...may cure all.

[@PS-fm1pu]

Cody, I'm in the same boat as you. I've been sick since Friday, took a covid test, negative. I'm assuming it's the flu.

The most organized "junk drawer" I've ever seen 😄

[@Dhows]

Interesting, i was hit with a insane bug . Coughing and a flu where the aches and pains that made me incredibly weak. Montana area

[@floorman92]

Same. Tennessee here.

[@chrisr7597]

4 drops of essential white pine oil in a large boiled pot of water will kill the bug in those lungs. Strong, fills the home but smells great.

[@jarradrice5455]

I went through that same thing around Christmas. The sickness will pass eventually.

[@OPSTuT]

Man I have to get my dad to watch this video. He thinks every flat surface becomes storage. He ran a shop for 45 years. And drove all his workers crazy. They use to beg me to pick up after him.

One clove raw garlic every morning and selenium and iodine.

It’s the diesel, it’s sooooo much healthier for you to obey and go electric below the overlords…

[@trini-rt6xn]

I'm also experiencing an unusually long period of illness - incessant coughing, general malaise, low energy, etc. Definitely something that was ENGINEERED! It's also lasting over a month in my case also.

[@johnr5545]

Nice god bless

[@erikpearson5310]

Glad you are feeling a bit better Cody. When I lived in Japan for a few years back in my 20s I lived in an environment with long, cold winters. Inevitably each winter I would get a dry cough that lasted months! Admittedly I didn't take very good care of myself back then. I hope Mrs. W. is taking good care of you all. God Bless you!
