Homemade Tool Organization

[zktk01]

I made a few organizational items don't look to fancy, but works for my needs.
I made a cabinet on french cleats to hold all my drills, and driver bits.
Gave me a reason to use my dado blade on table saw.

Made a little shelf to hold some nut drivers to keep from digging though the drawers to get to them.

3rd is a case off a bad power supply just drilled holes in it to keep my Torx
and Screwdrivers handy. I probably will modify it and place a piece of wood on the bottom side so if it is moved around the tools won't lean over.
Once that is done probably will paint it.

Best way to get what you want it to make it! Guess us shop monkeys all think alike

Very nice! I've found one of my favorite things to do with my tools is build tool organizers, hah. Sure its a lot of work and you can buy off-the-shelf stuff, but making an organizer that EXACTLY fits your shop/tools is extremely satisfying.

A few of my creations:

Wrench holder:

Power tool wall:

One of the best things I've ever done is permanently mount my battery charger(s) to a solid surface (the wall). When the charger is permanently mounted taking batteries on and off is a 1 hand operation instead of 2. Really comes in handy!
