If there’s one thing makers have, it’s a lot of stuff. Both tools to create things, and created thing themselves! I’m really curious what storage solutions everyone has used. We’re thinking about a furniture/house rearranging and I’m going to need to commit to a system soon.
I’ve looked at #gridfinity (https://gridfinity.xyz/) and it seems ok, but definitely skewed more toward the small parts, electronic components and 3d printing world. I have a lot of woodworking tools, fasteners and hardware and home DIY stuff as well as electronics, so I need a much more holistic solution. Right now I’m leaning towards a French cleat system along a couple walls and just building custom shelves/boxes for big stuff and then trying to find a way to organize all my smart parts and just attach that system to the cleats, but I definitely want to see more ideas. I’ve looked at Harbor Freight boxes and some custom 3d printed solutions, but post your organization systems here!
I don’t have time to find all the videos and systems I’ve looked at, but I’ll link a couple to start the convo. This is probably my favorite storage video and I think I want to integrate something like it into a French cleat system:
Also, this is a great example of French Cleat shop storage that I may implement on a slightly smaller scale: https://youtu.be/4fKBZ-H9StM
I stocked up on ‘CleverCrates’ when I found them for about $10/ea at walmart. They’re collapsible and stackable and have worked out really well. I want to get more but their retail price is a little high so I’m just waiting to find another deal.
