Discusses Workshop Storage -- How I Build A Woodworker Shop Storage
I make jewelry from exotic wood and dyed veneer. Some pieces have as many as 800 bits of wood in them, combining the colors and textures of various rare woods with brightly hued veneers. Being able to find some offbeat screw or fastener when I need it, or knowing where to retrieve that wonderful small chunk of rosewood that I've been saving for 10 years isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. Through the years, I have learned that the strength of a workshop depends on proper organization and storage.
I have four distinct "storage areas" in my shop. The infeed and outfeed tables of my radial arm saw hold scrap wood and less frequently used tools. My jewelry storage bench holds all the machined and milled exotic woods and dyed veneers. The 4-by-8 outfeed table on the table saw houses a variety of items; work in progress, exotic lumber, furniture pads, and leftovers from the jewelry-making process.
The most important storage area is in the main workbench and tool chest area. This is the heart of my shop. I keep everything from screws and screwdrivers to planes and hinges in cabinets close to the bench. All of the hand and power tools that I use regularly are kept in my main chest.
The chest is 6 feet high and 4 feet wide. In the upper section, I store everything from hammers and one set of chisels in the left hand door to files, screwdrivers, and planes in the right hand section. The five drawers in the center are filled with wrenches and bits of all kinds spurs, twists, and Forstners. I assembled the drawers with dovetail joints, a satisfying effort that only adds to the pleasure of putting things away.
The left hand door in the bottom section of the chest holds all my measuring and marking tools; the right hand door houses a set of pliers along with my handsaws. The cubbyholes are home to my portable power tools circular saws, saber saws, router, sander, cordless drills, pneumatic tools, and so on.
The tools in my chest have changed over the years. Fifteen years ago I had only one cordless drill; now I have three. But my chest has been able to adapt and accommodate all the new tools-each with its own specific place.
