Good evening LJ’s,
As I begin this series on shop organization I must give you a little background for my reason and inspiration first off my reason. My shop is small 12’x16’ total of 190 sq. ft. I have acquired more tools, and machines so space has shrunk and my original layout is not working anymore. What to do? what to do? One of my options is to build onto my shop expensive and not really feasible. Another would be to build a new one Nice but no on that. So with these two gone all that is left to do is modify what I already have. Now for my inspiration While strolling through Lowe’s I always admired the tool chest by cobalt for the mechanics tools roll around, plenty of drawers and the door for the fridge give me an idea on how to build mine :)
After reading a book called two second lean I stated a list like in the book of what annoyed me the most Come to find out there were quite a few repeat offenders here is a list
Tool Layout- Either tools/ processes getting in the way or conflicting with each other
Small tools – I was losing time looking for them or losing them in the dust / clutter
Large jigs or tools- always getting left on the tables or floors or just wherever
Portable tools- always laying down and never placed right
One word Sawdust
My first box is made from pallet wood and resembles the top tool chest built by Heluvawreck
it will store the following small tools
Top Till / Lid
6 Chisels
2 #4 Planes \
1 Block Plane
Bevel Gauge

2 marking Knives
1 rabbet plane
1 12” combo Square
