TOOL storage beyond Peg Board’s!!!!!

More if you want.

Yes please if possible

Being part collector - but only having tools I use - I like to have them in places I know they will be when needed. Here is one ...

Thanks Derek,

Ye why not some more inspiration would be great if it’s not too much trouble.

Cheers Matt.

I really like that sliding shelf. Is it held just by the strips on the inside of the cupboard or does the door play a supporting part in that it has a groove? I can't quite see in the pic.

All of the hooks I've seen for pegboard will fall out. They are all loose in the holes, by design.

If you have another source, I'm open to suggestions.

I found the hooks are less likely to fall out if the bit that goes into the pegboard hole is bent by an additional ~20º although it does make it slightly harder to insert.

I don't think there is a single solution regarding storage of tools. For one thing our tools are not all the same shape. Secondly, we are usually restricted by the space available. Thirdly aesthetics come into play. Oh... there is also some issue of preventing rust, which varies depending on whereabouts you live.

My impression is that your main objection to the peg board is the visual aspect.

Why not build cupboards with deep doors? The deep doors can contain another layer of peg board or multiple layers of peg board.

This saw till of mine, which I think you have seen before, includes three types of storage in that as well as the doors and cupboard space, it has a drawer below:

The double doors are about 100mm thick:

A small drawer beneath for sundries:

Each door has two leaves that open out.

One:

Two:

Three:

The cupboard itself is held up by French cleats as, like CK, I am a big fan of these devices although I have not taken things to the same level as he has. I also like Derek's high visibility solutions. Fabulous appeal, but the disadvantage there is less storage because of windows or open fronts. Great if you have sufficient space and of course he approaches the cupboards as if they were fine pieces of furniture too. In my miserable third world shed, I am now in the position of having to breathe in to gain access to some spaces. I don't think dieting would help me enough to warrant that line of attack. Until I find a Tardis on Ebay, space is at a premium.

The cupboard above is for my user saws. This one is a similar concept, but very crude and more simplistic:

Paul, if you squint and stand on one leg, you will see a rebate/tongue on the sides of the tray.

In this photo you can see corresponding strips of wood alongside the sides which, together, act as a slide ...



Here is the saw till. The features are the fold out saw holders, and three drawers for saw sharpening and related accessories ...





Most of the tools on the wall (behind the bench) have now gone into the drawers under the bench. Some have remained on the wall - mainly mallets/genno, knives and levels. The tool well is attached to the wall (separate from the bench), and has slots for chisels (in use, or extras to grab ) ...



A full post on just the drawers could be (and has been) made on the drawers, most of which have sliding trays. For example ...

Top and bottom ...





More if you wish.

I was lucky to drive past a house down the road just as their old kitchen was being removed. I was able to get a couple of the old cabinets, which I adapted into tool storage. Being literally a stones throw from the salt water, keeping them in enclosed cupboards is a necessity, to prevent rust.

I did the same ... as I am sure others have as well. Also, I am also close to the river and need enclosed storage.


None of my cabinets are fancy, with the exception of the bench cabinet. All others are just Radiata Pine, as was the kitchen cabinet shell. The doors are simply MDF with scrap Jarrah trim.

I took this photo today of the cabinet above the bench as it shows the doors being used to display the drawings for the current project.



I recommend looking around for something discarded. In fact, I have another, similar cabinet in the corner (very old photo) ...



The top was ended for a shooting board ...

Derek,

Just running this thread of course slightly [emoji849].

What is this, I’m guessing a folding square ?



Cheers Matt.

Matt, it is a Bridge City Saddle Square (2" x 2"). Here it is alongside a dovetail marker I made ...

Thanks for the clarification.

I really like the "swing out" saws. Filed away for future reference.

WB,

I would happily scavage from the side of the road, unfortunately we moved too the country 16 months ago, an that just not happen like in the burbs.

Cheers Matt.

A while back I started a thread on simple and economical drawer organisation here: Tool drawer organisation

Since then, I've already altered these drawer arrangements. The system is not as pretty as Derek's work but it is functional and does not use plastic foam that will end up in landfill. I mean, this will also probably end up in land fill when I shuffle off, but it isn't plastic.
