"Sorry about the explosion"

Powder Keg:
I'm still looking for Ideas for File storage. I ran across these racks for wood chisels that looked pretty neat. I'm getting to the point where I need to start hanging stuff up. I like these because the file won't be hanging by the handle. It wont fall out of the handle if it happens to work loose.










I'll keep looking:o)

Nice work so far Wes.

I definitely don't like the way those unprotected chisel ends look. One false move with a couple of those designs and you could easily have your wrists opened up.  What are those people thinking of? It sure ain't shop safety.
I was always told to keep sharp edges down or away from you, if at all possible.

You are really making a meal out of this tidy up session, and I will tell you one thing. Once it is all finished, you will not believe how much easier your shop will be to work in.
I used to dread wading thru all the junk in mine, but now, as long as I tidy up every now and again, I feel as though I am in workshop heaven, and making things is so much quicker now that I can just lay my hands on the tools right away, without having to search for them.

I thought the chisels looked a bit dangerous also. But I think they'll be perfect for my files!!! I really like the third one down. I might knock one together this evening to see how it will work for me.

My shop still looks like a disaster. I have my workbench about cleaned off, but all the stuff that was on it had to go somewhere... As soon as I can start getting a "spot" for everything. I think it will drastically improve things. The storage gins made a big difference I've noticed.

Powder Keg:
Tonight, I dug through ALL my toolbox drawers. Nearly every one had a file or two in it :doh: I know your not posed to keepem there. But that's where they were. I was mainly trying to get a handle on what I'm going to need. Firstly, lots of handles :doh: I know, files is supposed to have handles onem. Secondly, A few of those racks will be in order. A couple small racks, A couple medium racks and a couple of large racks. I'm thinking strategically placed throughout the shop. A couple near my work bench and one by each lathe. Stay tuned....

A couple of things that seem to be in my way are my shop vac and extension cords. I need to come up with something for them.

Powder Keg:
I've been looking for some more space savers on the web. I ran into these two Ideas that I think will work good in my shop. The first idea would be to make some more storage bins. I'll probably put things like power tools in them. I have a couple belt sanders, hand drills, jig saws, and stuff like that. I think power cords would go nice in them to.



Another Idea is for some lumber that I have and light metal.



I'm going to try and get these started this weekend. My wife says she wants to help\o/
