Nice work with your cabinets! It makes a big difference to get more organised in the garage, makes life easier. I have also got a bunch of Stanley boxes for keeping small stuff in, have had them for years and never gotten around to build a holder/cabinet for them.. Should add that to the list. Best regards, David Having it properly organised should make a big difference for me. The other advantage the cupboards will bring is cutting down the dust that gets on everything!

Well, that was cold.... so much so my camera has mainly refused to work. I got a couple of pics though. I cut some wood to make the cabinets up. and started prep to glue and screw the joints P1070133 by jono_misfit, on Flickr the camera didnt work for a while, but mainly more cutting, glueing and screwing, and I ended up with some carcasses P1070136 by jono_misfit, on Flickr removed all the things off the shelves and stripped them off the wall P1070135 by jono_misfit, on Flickr put battons up on the wall to mount the cabinets. P1070137 by jono_misfit, on Flickr first cabinet on with a couple of screws. P1070138 by jono_misfit, on Flickr second, larger, cabinet on the wall P1070139 by jono_misfit, on Flickr and a load of screws added P1070140 by jono_misfit, on Flickr and started on the shelves P1070141 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I wanted full width shelves on this, so added a centre support to the front to support the shelves and hopefully stop them sagging too much. P1070142 by jono_misfit, on Flickr Other shelf support to make up next time, before top supports and doors.

Fitted the last door P1070151 by jono_misfit, on Flickr hinges all work P1070152 by jono_misfit, on Flickr Then added handle / hide the wonky edges strips P1070153 by jono_misfit, on Flickr Made a start on additional electrics (must get fire extinguisher recharged and some additional)] P1070155 by jono_misfit, on Flickr copex in the corner to protect the cables a bit P1070156 by jono_misfit, on Flickr and a socket at the middle of the bench P1070157 by jono_misfit, on Flickr temporarily relocated this socket whilst I work out what i'm doing with them in this area P1070158 by jono_misfit, on Flickr and relocated this one up here (still to clip the cables) P1070159 by jono_misfit, on Flickr and put one on down here. P1070160 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I need to buy some new sockets (these are old ones dragged out a box) so these are only on temporarily at the moment.

Organisation is looking great  I saw an awesome home built storage for the fatmax storage boxes on a thread elsewhere Using rails to hold the boxes rather than shelves to increase the storage space One question on the cabinets was there a reason for the three different sizes of storage - ie you had in mind objects or items for the spaces or just that it would give you flexibility?

That's a neat rack.
Flexibility is the reason for the 3 difference in the cupboard size and shelving. I vaguely know what needs to go in them but not what shape it all is.

I started filling the cabinets back up with things. Mainly to get the right things in the right cabinets, then i'll sort out the right things in the right place in the right cabinets. P1070161 by jono_misfit, on Flickr P1070162 by jono_misfit, on Flickr P1070163 by jono_misfit, on Flickr added a countersink tool holder P1070164 by jono_misfit, on Flickr right, i#'m fed up of this big lump getting in the way on the various benches. P1070165 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I weighs a LOT, well over 50kg, so need something fairly sturdy to hold it. cut some 25 x 2mm box to size P1070167 by jono_misfit, on Flickr Started tacking P1070168 by jono_misfit, on Flickr forget to take pics for a bit.... then try it in position P1070169 by jono_misfit, on Flickr it was a bit wobbly, so I added some additional diagonals P1070170 by jono_misfit, on Flickr its fairly out the way and is now useable again P1070171 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I need to weld in some supports so I can fit a couple of shelves under it as well. I may as well make use of the space, plus it'll help stiffen it further. I positioned it quite carefully so that the rigth hand side just (by mm's) clears the sheet metal guilloten hood, so that full length bits of metal can be inserted. I got a belt sander disc sander ages ago and its mainyl sat round getting in the way. So dug out some brackets I had and fitted it to the wall. P1070172 by jono_misfit, on Flickr as tight as I can get it to the wall so it doesnt stick out far, and I may well shorten the brackets as if I do then it wont stick out further than the steel rack does. P1070173 by jono_misfit, on Flickr In the mean while I've stuck red tape on it reduce how often I walk into it... then started on a prototype piece of wood for holding the files out the way P1070174 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I think i'll try cutting it with the router and see if I can make a neater job.

All of my similar boxes are stored on their edges, not flat like that. Which means the rails aren't needed, but each box can be pulled off the shelf without a stack of other boxes coming with it. You only need to build the shelf to take the biggest box. And I label them with a permanent marker.....

I made a quick rack for storing the files... which turns out I had a few more than I thought. P1070175 by jono_misfit, on Flickr I then spent a while sorting out the stuff spread all over the benches, and finally got to the point of being able to see the benches again.
