This is where I store all my blades except for the 12" blades from my new Delta Miter Saw.

If you're like me… just a tad OCD - like to have things organized, uniformed, and for crying out loud…. able to find what you are looking for; well I think you'll relate to this post. I wish I had before photos of the mess, but you can imagine. Various shape and size bins, old butter...

So I was scrolling through old photos, trying to organize pictures of my recent home renovation and stumbled upon this project that I forgot to post from last year. HA! I sometimes wonder how many of my projects DON'T make it to LJs just because I forget to take photos or simply don't have...

When I first moved into this house and started collecting tools, I put up a peg board because I thought that's all there was. Since I found LumberJocks, I saw that there were other organizing systems available that you can make yourself. I really liked the modular French Cleat system. I took...

We must have had 10 or 12 boxes of various tea, every time someone wanted tea every box ended up on the counter. I was truly surprised by the number of boxes of tea we own… Newly discovered clutter / organizing problem + quarantine + extra cherry lumber = get in the shop and make something…...

Ignore the mess all around the red thing in the middle. :) This is a shelf unit I made from 1/2" MDF for our playroom. It was deisgned and built around the dimensions of the green and blue baskets you see, which are from Target. There are dados in the top, middle and bottom shelf for the...

Nothing ground-breaking here, but I needed to organize! I took the opportunity to use some scrap shop birch and practice dado-ing. Some came out nice and tight, but others were a little gappy. The bins came from Grainger at $1.42 apiece. A STEAL!

I'm all over the board on what I do in my shop, so I have a significant and, seemingly, ever growing collection of layout tools. I had dedicated a 4'x8' section of wall space to storing and displaying them so I could spot what I needed for a given project with just a glance. It wasn't enough...

There are so many things that you can make from a pallet. I found one recently and it was in rough shape…..and I mean rough shape. After cleaning it up and making a few dados and rabbets I had a nice looking desktop organizer. It can hold regular sized computer paper, pens, pencils, and even...

I seem to have run out of space in my room and things are always thrown around everywhere. Me being only a teenager, my mom is always saying to clean it up! So with a little imagination and some wood, I created a solution to store my Bow ties, ties, and belts! While looking very stylish. This...

A while ago I made a set of violin maker's scrapers from a dollar store saw blade. They have been sitting in the tray from a package of Fig Newtons on my work table. I occasionally use them as I need to clean up areas on the violins and cellos that I repair. A few days ago I decided to make a...

Built a stool similar to this a while back and now my dad wanted one too. So I made another one. Hope he likes it. Red oak and mesquite. Adjusts from 26" to about 35" but not sure I would want to set it anywhere near that high. Don't look too closely at the seat cover. I'm a woodworker (?)...

Largest project I've mad so far. Extremely proud of this piece. I took up upholstery so I could make them myself, having them done professionally would have been too expensive. QSWO from plans from the woodmagazine.com web site. Paul

I filmed the build on my YouTube Channel. Please check it out! Please like, share, and if you enjoyed the video subscribe! My solution to storing my sandpaper was not ideal. As you can see in the pictures, the paper has curled from the previous storage method. I make a simple tray style rack...

In my daughter's continuing quest to organize her craft items, she asked me to build this 'wine rack' style organizer for her pencils. After a false start and some ensuing discussion, I managed to use more of my salvaged drawer bottoms to build this organizer. The space just to the left of it is...

This is a jewerly box I built for my GF, I finished it about a month ago. This project was a lot of 1st's for me, it was my 1st attempt at fine woodworking, 1st jewerly box, and my 1st time designing a project from start to finish. It took me about 3mo in my spare time, I also worked on other...

thisi is a picture of my tiny little workshop where I do my work. It's a wonder anything gets done, I'm constantly shifting things around to make room for said project. Show me your shops or how do you organize. My favorite organizer is my school lockers which I've turned sideways so the door...

I keep updating and tweaking as I add bits. These are primarily specialty bits for various projects. Not your run of the mill bits that come in sets. Material made of MDF. I drill holes sized to the bit.

Another installment in the saga of my daughter organizing her craft supplies. She asked me to build a cubby for her modeling clay. This time I received a rough drawing of what she wanted, so I knew exactly what to do. It's a basic shallow box made from 1/4 inch plywood. No fancy joinery. The...

Here is a couple of cartridge pens. The first one is black walnut and number two is red cedar. Both are on 30/06 cartridges with a CA finish. Now if I could only take pictures.
