Small workshop storage ideas
Make a Small Workshop Feel Bigger
You look for small workshop storage ideas? your are in the right place.
For most of woodworkers, a big workshop is only a dream. Too often we’re forced to build our ambitious projects in a small workshop.
These small workshop storage ideas can help you work more efficiently.
– Store Everything On The Walls : When I first started storing tools in my shop I did what most people did and had a standard pegboard sheet installed. I even went as far as to trim it out and paint it bright orange in hopes of tempting an orange tool company to send me free stuff. I went out of town and when I returned almost all of my tools were lying on the floor as the pegboard had turned to mush in the Richmond humidity. There had to be a better solution than this.
– Use Sketchup to figure out the best configuration. Most tools, cars and cabinets have been modeled for you by the Sketchup community. All you have to do is make a quick sketch of your work space and download the components.
– Make all tools and workbenches the same height. When you do this every surface is a potential out-feed table for a table saw, miter saw etc.
– Use chalkboard paint to label cabinets and drawers.
– Clean as you work. I don’t always live up to this principle in the workshop or in the kitchen, but when you don’t have a lot of room you’ve got to put stuff back and get rid of scraps otherwise things get ugly and dangerous.
– Thou shalt not store crap in thy workshop. A clean and organized workshop is inspiring. Banish the crap and you’ll make space for creativity. I even hosted a cocktail party in the workshop on Halloween.
Small Workshop Tour: Layout Ideas, Organization + Storage!
These workshop layout ideas may inspire you to make the most of your small workshop or tiny DIY work space. It might not be the prettiest shop, but it’s well organized and flexible enough to adapt to a wide range of projects. I also love my wall-mounted small shop dust collection and air filtration setup, which takes up no floor space, but provides major personal safety and cleanliness benefits.
