RKic Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm setting up my new work area and want to minimize the amount of clutter on my work table (pictured below). In addition to the airbrush and compressor, I have a dremmel set, a bunch of sheets of sand paper, quite a bit of paint, brushes, knives, and the usual assortment of modeling crap you would find. I'd like to store most of it on the little DVD rack sitting next to the table, but want to put the junk into some kind of containers which look presentable...so no tupper-wear, no shoe boxes, etc. I share this space with my wife and we want to keep it looking presentable.

Hawkeye's Hobbies Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I like mechanics tool boxes, roll cabs and intermediate chests. This might help http://hawkeyes-squawkbox.com/2008/06/24/s...bench-overview/ http://hawkeyes-squawkbox.com/2009/01/27/w...tour-continues/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Baker Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) In this picture, you can see a couple of the different storage things I have. The large red faced rack w/ all the drawers I believe came from the tool dept. at K-mart, but you can get them at Lowes or Home Depot. Next to the red shelving thing, are 2 small 9 drawer organizers. I cant remember where those came from, but I want to say that those came from Lowes. I also have the wooden rack, which I made myself out of scrap wood that I had left over from some projects. The last organizer I have, thats not shown in the picture above, is a round spinning organizer that I got from Hobby Lobby. Edited July 12, 2010 by Adam Baker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edgar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Very useful are the magnetic strips, for kitchen, or garage, tools. Files, knife blades, etc., all stick to them quite happily. Edgar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
