Description: Doing projects gives me a happy.
So if there’s a saw, there needs to be a lot of cutting. That’s my theory, anyway, now that I have a fancy new saw . My lab + shop are together 95 square feet, so space is seriously tight. There’s a space 31"T x 33"W x 22"D that could hold more if there were an orderly way to put stuff there. This is new for me, I’ve never built drawers before. Here’s the space with a cabinet frame and a 11-week-old, 14-lbs puppy for perspective.
The key issue that’s motivating this where to put fasteners: bolts, screws, nuts, washers, yes, imperial and metric, but also t-nuts, standoffs, inserts and other tiny bits. Plus drill and router bits. Adam Savage famously stores all the little pieces with the Sortimo system , but the Sortimo boxes are like $65 each, and in Adam’s system, you have to pull the whole box out and put it somewhere in order to dig around looking for some tiny thing.
I don’t think I need the 20-odd boxes Adam has, probably 4-5 would so it. The Stanley organizer box isn’t quite the build quality of the Sortimo but it’s good enough.
