Some time back, I was whining about the lack of a dedicated space, or forum for solutions people have used to address storing tools, equipment, accessories and materials in their shops. Ben suggested starting a thread here. Following his lead, I'll get things going with a couple offerings...

This past weekend I was hiking in the beautiful Red River Gorge located in Eastern Kentucky. The trees are so pretty this time of the year with the colors of the leaves. I was using my favorite Kentucky Walking Stick, a Carved Snake coils up the stick. I have never gotten so many comments on...

Working with Melamine This is a re-edit of the video that got me started doing videos. Unfortunately I knew very little about shooting and editing video at the time. In fact, I shot the video with a web cam, so the video quality is poor in parts. The re-edit gives it a nice face lift, but...

intro Off and on, over the past few years I had the idea to try to do a series of projects over the course of a week or so…. like 12 Christmas ornaments in 12 days, or a bunch of pens leading up to graduation time…. I've been pretty good about getting set up to make a bunch of pens, and then...

Site work - not exactly FINE woodworking. Although a long journey yet ahead, the thought of the new shop is the "dangling carrot" as I work on some of the hard stuff. Built the east foundation wall over the last few days and the west wall will get completed today. I really did not want the...

Phase 1 Like many of my fellow LJ's my workshop is setup in half of my two car garage. My workshop has been setup over the last few years as I've acquired new tools, and taken on new projects. Because it grew gradually there was no overall design or plan behind the setup… it's just kind of...

Shopsmith storage idea # %^$# If you note I have many blogs, I will let you in a fact. In August I had a left knee full replacement and knew I would be headed towards having the right knee done. So it was done the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Not being a hunter here in PA, less concern on my...

Designing the Cabinet I got a new Laguna Revo 13/36 lathe about a year ago and have been contemplating ever since for a way to store my accumulation of lathe tools and accessories to both keep them close at hand and prevent them from taking over every bit of horizontal space in my shop while I...

French Cleat Screw Storage / Screw Caddy As to be expected, do enough woodworking and you will need various sizes of screws for all the different projects you work on. Then you end up with extra boxes of screws. I had all of mine just stacked together in a small bin. The bin was overflowing and...

French Cleat Square & Measuring Tool Storage All of my measuring and squaring tools were spread out throughout the shop. I wanted them all in one place, so I made this. Watch the video here:

My Drawer Storage Unit I just did another video on my drawer storage unit in my shop. I figured I would share it with everyone! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Jay (Jay's Custom Creations) This is just a quick video to say thanks to fellow woodworker Jay Bates. Check out his video to see how he made some simple and inexpensive brackets that can be used for shelving or lumber storage. Thanks for watching. Take care.

New shop storage I recently had an opportunity to take advantage of what I thought could be an improved storage unit in the shop. A local office was upgrading their lateral filing cabinets and I had a chance at the used ones (all I had to do was pick them up). I thought it would be a good idea...
