My wife is a teacher and she is bringing me a metal one home tomorrow, she organises colours for the kids with Bull clips that you can label easily enough. Will let you know how it goes. (Insert your countries spelling and object equivalence throughout the last paragraph) :beer:

Hi all, I'm doing a little revamp of the garage and looking for storage inspiration for all my sand paper, drives me up the wall at the moment! Cheers Dane

Mine changes constantly as well, sometimes budget and other by room Biggest tip is have what you use close and smart storage solutions

And my next sort of project is getting the most out of this Triton work centre, its a table saw and router table with and extenstion table which again I picked up for a song. Having never used one before I've resorted to watching original 1984 VHS recording on youtube which is hilarious

Ground anchor for the bikes

Also scored 2 free lockable cabinets which house all other power tools, I got my hands on a master key so one key fits both On top holding my main car tools and my secondary Wanted a clearer main workbench, I bought some map drawers which are awesome

Done a bit more around the garage to update its working shop capability I built a bit of a workbench, didn't want a full on one. It's pretty simplistic in design. On the left I picked up this 12 speed drill for $150 AUD which is very cheap, came with an extra chuck, i put a couple of...

You guys have it easy... In Australia we have spiders, sharks, crocs, snakes and jellyfish and birds that can kill up in minutes http://www.cracked.com/funny-5997-the-animals-that-make-australia-deathtrap-it-is/ I had the brown snake at the front of my garage last summer, dog was going mental

Yeah it's a shame Bonecrrusher, cars are a big part of history and culture, it used to be whoever won the V8 races on the weekend would sell the cars on Monday. Most people are die hard Ford or Holden. Holden lost me in the early 00's, Ford lost me in the 90's. These days I only like old cars...

Bit more of an update, more organisational. Built a workbench/bar to put the stools under. Left over timber I had, don't think I'm going to paint it I kind of like the roughness of it. Got some strapping under shelving to hold power cords and panel protectors for when i get back to...

Little bit of an update, more organizational and posters, made a storage slider for screws, nuts and bolts. Also got the car in for now. The ball and chain is still baffled why I choose to put 37 year old car above our brand new one :) also the new toy is two weeks away and want it ready Also...

hmmm, no one seems to have mentioned that before, bit late now!

got a few more things organized today, vice,bench grinder, liquid storage, few pictures up one of my grandfather from the war and all surround sound is hooked up. All power tools in metal cabinet under lock and key and dartboard at regulation height

Gotta love gumtree, pulled them out of a house that was being renovated, cost me $80 but they were a solid build quality and matched style. Updated the hinges and I've got handles to put on and the final gap to cover up then that's done

another lesson: don't buy cheap paint, no matter how good the deal

bit of an update, got sanding done and a couple of layers of paint and started putting things on the walls. Didn't get to fussy about roof hence its not so pretty thinking of doing door trim and trim around bottom in the grey the same as the cabinets, thought?

Agreed, even as a kid I was helping do something and learning lessons as you go along. My father is still with us but a plane flight away. I do always call him with questions, he helped put up a few boards when I first started. Value every moment is a good lesson.

Here is a few things that I have learnt along the way: 1. Framing is very important I framed around existing poles which were different width, when it came to plastering I discovered that not everything was perfectly in line causing me headaches to get it right 2. The right drill attachments...

I installed an attic ladder, do you have room for one. Frees up plenty of space. I know it's hard, but do you need everything you have, can you sell or throw away anything? I'd lose the white shelving on the ground, ect as much off ground as you can Do you have things in boxes still that...
