Making new Tool Storage On the Tool Wall

[@AllanMacMillan]

It's easy to get hung up on tool storage. You've got the solution pegged.

[@richardhutchinson4016]

Great idea with the magnets. You can also superglue a 12 inch piece of dental floss to the magnet, and then crimp a small lead split shot weight to the end of the floss. It ends up acting like a short plumb bob.

[@digitalteachers]

I always thought of French Cleats as the ultimate move-around system. Yes, you lose a little space, but you can move stuff around. If small stuff falls down you could have sheets of tools

[@robertdavis171]

I ❤ the rare earth magnet stud finder idea. No need to draw lines all over a nice paint job.

[@darylthomas4522]

I keep a magnet with a few screw driver bits etc ( eg sq drive ,hex,philips,9 10 mmsocket drivers)in my pocket,so handy to pick up and sort metal,find studs,never lose those bits and above all CHEAP

[@airford13]

OMG James, power tools? just kidding ya, still following!! Great vid!!!

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

Love the rest wall.

[@jimmcnett]

Nice fun project day. Looks good.

[@amazingsupermaster7757]

Excellent work 🌷💎🌷

[@thomashverring9484]

I would love some wall space to hang some more stuff!

[@kplee89]

Good, Luke can still do his shots where he progressively gets farther away. Luke to the moon!

[@philiprichardson3074]

Coming together nicely, planning a re-vamp of my workshop shelves so providing much inspiration!

[@tankizard]

When I worked as one of the woodworkers at Conner Prairie, I got used to having the chisels and jointery saws in a little cabinet with the bigger saws in the same sort of rack yours are in. I liked that set up, but that's really the extent of how I liked organization

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that, good progress!

[@robohippy]

Love the NASA capsule tent in the one shot..... I did make a bunch of dowel hanger up things for my house and shop. I did make a bunch of wood spheres for the ends of them, mostly for the coat rack in my pantry room. I did angle all of them up a bit so things wouldn't wander off the ends. Only change I would make on what you have done here.

[@xchinvanderlinden]

If you have clamps falling off you could add a slight back bevel to the top of the rack and apply some stair tread grip tape or sand paper to the top.

[@iainmcculloch5807]

Tool storage is never boring. Well, except when it's a bit boring. Still, nothing to get hung up about. 😉

[@kenny-anjanettehorn7722]

The Louvre, the Met, the Vatican….. I’ve never been to any of them, but I did walk into the original Wood by Wright shop and I’m afraid those other places wouldn’t measure up.

[@glencrandall7051]

I am going through the same process in my new shop.🙂🙂

[@peterlaughlin930]

Looking good, James😊

[@einy2crikey]

Great video. Thanks! For my clamp holder, I made a rabbet on the top back side so all of the pipe clamps with feet (Bessey) had a place to sit. I've never had one fall off.

[@Whichbindoesthisgoin]

A window! Light? Naaahh, I’ll stick some clamps there! 😂

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

day light is the Bain of any videographer. it always messes up the shots.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

The challenge you have that I do not is your tool storage is not just functional but must also be a display of sorts. A backdrop to your videos.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I think even if I did not have a channel I would do this. it makes it all easy to get to and very efficient

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo But I can utilize all 4 walls to their fullest!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I do the same. I have tools hanging on all my walls around the shop. But the ones I use all the time at the bench I have right within reach. The ones that gets used less and less are farther away from the vice.

[@TheRealMagisD]

Uggggggggg.. so many idea's ticking in my brain... Thank you

[@michaeldoto4673]

Looking great James

[@214rwoz]

Thanks for all your time and effort.

[@vincethomrm]

Living in an earthquake prone area, it's important to slope, angle and fiddle my shelves and things help prevent any nasty tumbles. Knock on wood 🤞

[@Hansenomics]

More tools = more storage. 🙂

[@myrawright282]

Nice!!! ❤

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Zoso14892]

I've seen enough from Adam Savage to know the best plans wind up changed completely after a few months' use. It's looking good, though! The peg for the saws makes me a bit anxious, but that's because I would walk into it, probably on a daily basis 😅

[@robbywright6010]

For years, I had a clamp rack sort of like yours. I found that if the clamps got accidentally put in with a slight overlap - easy to do with pipe clamps - I would get a shower of clamps. I have been told I have a hard head, but those clamps hurt! I also found it took up too much wall space, so I went to a holders with a pair o parallel arms to slide the clamps between. No more falling clamps and I put over 100 clamps in a 3 foot by 4 foot space. Yes, it is possible to have too many clamps, but I keep buying more when I get a good deal.

[@AbyssalAnubis420]

Loved the video

[@erinschlameus3628]

My garage walls were never covered n sheetrock which makes finding the studs convenient. I organize my tools n a similar way❗

[@AEA024]

Your work bench is looking a little too small for your new shop there James, can't wait for the workbench build video

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

you and me both. hopefully come July or Aug!

[@navret1707]

One rack to hold them all.

[@ianpearse4480]

1 rack to rule them all and in the darkness bind them! LOL.

[@egbluesuede1220]

My clamp rack isn't much fancier than yours. I stick them on a stud, although it's turned perpendicular to the wall and has some stand offs so there is a little more room for the clamp heads to just fall over the top of the stud.

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

That Rockler pouch thing reminds of something I won in an auction, a Defiance by Stanley Tool Caddy. Only one I've ever seen or heard of. Holy cow that was a lot of holes also... have you ever considered a career making Swiss Cheese ???

[@jimhyslop]

Just be careful you don't poke an eye out reaching for something near your bow saws! There's a fair amount of reverb. If you haven't already thought about sound baffling, you might want to consider it.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Yep. We will be installing sound dampening as soon as I have a spot for all the tools and nowhere I can put it.

[@MG-vo7is]

I like the shot that shows your workshop connected to the living space. It means you're easily accessible for your kids, which is great.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

They are often in the shop with me. It's a lot of fun to have them around

[@myrawright282]

Dad said your wasn't good! 😂❤

[@revrinn1324]

What's that weird noisy thing you are often using? It looks like it might need electricity 😂 Enjoyed the video, especially the dust blowing

[@ping170]

Stud down below 🤪

[@momentswithmymy1692]

wahoo!

[@johnfreiler6017]

Right at the end: what the big black bar thing hanging over your head? Still futzing with lighting?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

that s one of the soft boxes. I have two of them setup.

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, James! Really well done! 😃 The shop is looking fantastic already! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@thoughtstream9591]

You mentioned not liking to use magnet bars for chisels. Can someone let me know why? I haven't tried it, but was thinking about doing it and would like to know if I'm going to have an issue.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I do not want to magnetize the sharp objects as they will attract other metal objects and possibly dull them. I may be over thinking it though.

[@thoughtstream9591]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks for the reply, I hadn't thought about the residual magnetism in the chisels.

[@TheRealMagisD]

"all" of your "awls" that sounds like a new shirt
