We have our place up for sale (again...). If we can sell it at or very near our asking price, we'll be putting up a new modular on our daughter's 9 acres which is 10 minutes from shopping and health care, vs. an hour plus where we are now. Plus of course, Momma gets a new house, energy cost savings will be significant and most importantly, Downeaster gets a purpose-built, heated shop!
I'm a Certified World Class Packrat, and I currently have a dozen or so assorted cabinets/bins/shelves for storing "stuff" from 4-40 screws to 5/8 x 8 bolts, plus bearings and various sorts of cultch.
If/when I move into a new dedicated shop (not a corner of the garage as currently exists) I'd like to have a reasonably homogenous system in place, all along one wall vs. the "here and there, wherever I could find a spot" system currently in use. Plastic bins/cabinets are fine for up to say 1/4-20 hardware, but I'll also need some steel or at least heavy-duty storage for the larger hardware.
Some of you folks (I'm looking at YOU, Mailman!) have shops/garages organized like an OCD wet dream. I'm looking for pictures/suggestions/sources for the storage units you bought or built. I've seen some of the stuff on Garage Journal and the high end systems at Home Cheapo but my budget won't stretch that far. I'd like to do as much as I can for $2000 or less.
Hit me...
