Seems like I cant keep up with staying organized in spite of my best efforts to keep things clean and trying to find places for tools and parts.
I bought a new rolling cabinet for tools yesterday at Harbor Freight. Lots of fresh new drawers and after stowing away tools in it and organizing other smaller rolling boxes, the shop still looks like a bomb went off in there.
The problem is - it started as a 26x36 woodshop with two end rooms. One end room is open to the air for winter storage and summer working under cover and out of the hot son, and the other end room is 18x24 with a 7.5 foot ceiling that fills up with motors, rolling tools, and a cab.
How do you'all keep your tools organized for starters? Screw drivers are problematic. Do you organize your tool box drawers with the most often used tools at the top? and to follow up, what have you learned to organize parts and tools that I might not have given thought? Lots of small parts seem to collect in strategic piles on horizontal surfaces.
Ideas welcome. Of course, in the ideal world. a separate large room for truck work would be ideal rather than having a table saw, jointer, planer, workbenches, dust collection, oscillating sander, drill presses together and separate from the grunge of metal working and filler sanding.
