More Storage Suggestions from One of Our Readers

Last modified: February 22, 2024

Today, I received a delightful message from the author of the To Travel is Better that to Arrive blog. Daus has been slowly increasing the storage space in his DIY workshop and he had some quite innovative ideas to share. Here's an illustrated essay:

Machining resources, machine shop tips and metal fabrication guidance on CNCCookbook.com.

Track down some old airline food carts for stock storage:  they're long, wheeled, and open at both ends...

Well-equipped workshop with various tools, equipment, and a large metal cabinet with drawers and vice.

Track down old file cabinets-they're sturdy, cheap and can be used as the carcasses for all sorts of custom storage.  This one is on a rolling frame and nests underneath the workbench the Emco CNC Mill is on...

Gray vertical locker with open door showing organized collection of tools and equipment.

This filing cabinet was converted to a vertical locker by removing the drawers and making a wooden door of the same color.  Used filing cabinets are cheap and easy to modify!

A sliding door cabinet in a garage workshop setting with gray doors and three shelves.

Just because there is no room to open a cabinet door is no reason not to have a cabinet there...

Thanks for the great ideas, Daus!
