Shop Organization - Part 4: Hardware Storage

This video is the fourth video around Shop Organization focused on Hardware Storage and how I have chosen to store hardware in my small shop. Hardware storage can be tricky and comes in a lot of different options. I will walk you through what my journey has looked like, what I liked and didn’t like and why I chose the final setup I currently use today.
My goal in this series isn’t to get everyone to replicate what I have done, my goal is to help you think outside the box to make the most of your space, especially if you are in a small shop, and if that leads you to the same solution I have, that’s great. If not, I look forward to hearing what you came up with instead and the reasoning behind it. We all get better together when we share our learnings and reasoning behind these decisions.

    While working at the rock quarry in Clayton California, (1986), we got a new nut and bolt salesperson when our regular KARR guy retired. She was very nice, very helpful and eager to please the quarry's needs. I asked her if she could sell me 2, #72 bins for my nuts and bolts. I told her it was for my home shop. She ordered two bins AND threw in two of the four drawer cabinets for free ! I never told anyone that they were free, but they must have found out. You never saw so many jealous co-workers ! I still use them today, after 30+ years, and they have been kept clean and dry.

    First, I made the mistake of buying the cheap yellow organizers, lots of them. They are impossible to label. I don't leave my shop, so not sure what i was thinking, following the heard. The expensive boxes like Sortimo are set up to label but they are sixty dollars a unit. Now for the grey bins I found a cheap way to mount if you do not have the bracket that cam with yours. They are called Din Rails, they come in a variety of sizes and are very cheap, sturdier than the plastic ones. Great video , thank you.

I grab decent sized variety packs whenever I can, even when I don't need them at that moment. $10-$15 here and there is me buying them for my future self that doesn't have the spare cash to hit the hardware store. Seeing how you organize them is a great help!

It looks great and you gave me the idea to mount them over my bench too. I have a slat wall above my bench so I made mountings plates out of 1/8" thick strips of aluminum sheeting. Boy, that space looks to be made just for the bins!

    You can use the protein powder boxes to make dispensers for cables, ropes, paper, etc. And to protect items from dust. You could screw all the lids to a plank and attach it to your ceiling and store light objects or spare parts like tubes, adapters, ect. I work with bikes and store tyres, saddles, cranks parts, odd shaped accessories, ect. In similar containers.

    Great information, thank you! Cut the bottom off the tub then hang a couple horizontally, in line, from the ceiling. Keep them a few feet apart. You could store long lengths of beading or thin wood, by sliding the wood into the first tub then into the second one, keeping the second one whole, to stop the wood from going in too far.

    Thank you! Love the color coding idea, I had thought about that as well. Even if I used the white labels still but maybe text or an underline or something to call out different items quicker is a good idea. Luckily mine all fit in one column so that helps know where the cut offs are, but I think color would be really handy if you had some pour into the next column over and they were mixed up.

    I've shared this on another video, my strategy to accumulate hardware (especially large SAE items 1/4 through 5/8 and a few 3/4), and if you have a store between your home and work, stop in said store (tractor supply in my case) on your way home (helps get out of rush hour traffic for a few minutes as well). I went in on paydays and bought a few pounds at a time of various sizes, bolts, washers, and the nuts to go with them. It didn't take long to have a nice large assortment without breaking my gas budget. For the small metric items, I buy the inexpensive variety packs online. Then when you use them you return to the store at a convenient time or buy online when on sale to replenish what you used.

    Love your approach to this. Agree with all the 'yellow bin' issues. Madness. I went all shallow drawers with bins- all e.g. screws to view in one drawer. Adds a drawer pull to access, but keeps out all dust. Bins are different (indexed) sizes, as contents are different sizes. A 3D printer gives you flexibility and perfect fits...

    Great video, thanks for sharing. Like you because of the distance from my home to the next closest hardware store is 25 minutes to orange of blue and extra 20 minutes so I created my own hardware store. Sure it kinda was a chunk at first the when gas doubled in AZ I was glad I made the investment. Thanks again!

    I like using containers like those protein cans for storing fasteners from things I'm taking apart. Usually when I'm working on my car I'll use containers similar to that to store the bolts from the part I took off so I can keep track of them and reuse them when I put the new one on.

I've thought about the downside of having open top containers, but placing it under a higher shelf as you did should help with the problem of falling dust. Thanks for the great info~!

As for the plastic containers I use them for things like steel wool of different coarseness because even though it probably doesnt matter, I dont like them to get all covered in saw dust. Also disposable paint brushes for the same reason. Thanks for another great video. Keep on keepin on!

    Great video. I like the semi OCD aspect of shop storage. My shop is small (9' x 14') so if I don't have some way to stay organized, it gets a little crazy. I use a similar container of plastic coffee cans. Bulkier items like knobs, which I also buy in bulk, go well in them. I put little kits together for projects and specialty tools for the job. . Door knob hole cutting jig, picture hanging wire and eye hooks, with its own awl and pliers, stuff like that. Then when I do a job, I can take that container, put it all back when I get done, and not have to put them all in different places in the shop.

    I like the Milwaukee packout bins. Pros:You can hang them on the wall (albeit with more effort). You can 3D print more and even bigger sizes and of course they fit in the packout organizers for taking them on the go. Cons: they cost more. They take more time to hang (witch is another expense). They are not as easy to put leftovers back in the bins unlike the hopper style bins.

    Thank you so much for this video! While I have no where near your amount of hardware, I do tend to buy it like you do (cause I'm cheap and always after the best deal I can get, lol). My son always rolls his eyes when I buy more than I need or buy a variety pack; but he's always grateful when I have the fastener he needs for a job. I have been trying to figure out a better solution for all my hardware & misc pieces; and while I can't go this big, I can modify it down a smaller version that will be sooo much more organized than what I've got now. I started your Shop Organization series with this one; will have to go find Parts 1-3. Thank you!

    Nice overview and explanation of your priorities. Personally I'm very happy with my yellow bin organizers, mostly for two reasons: dust protection and density. The dust here is not so much sawdust as all kinds of sticky stuff, since the garage is open to the outside and near the ocean. For this reason, it's not as easy as just blowing away sawdust, it needs to be wiped. I also store a bunch of stuff in them that wouldn't like dust in the first place, like electronic components. Density-wise I totally agree with you on the cons, it IS less convenient to use than your solution. However, I use mine to store a ton of different kinds of things, not just screws and nails but also rivets, hose clamps, time-serts, wiring connectors, electronics, AN fittings, etc, etc. I don't use any single one of these often enough to warrant a more easily accessible solution, but having them in well sorted and labeled containers in a single big rack means I can actually *find* them when I need them. Your concerns would be more important if I had more of a production shop where I did any single thing all the time.

    I finally found the storage idea that I have been looking for! Mine is similar, but isn't working out. Moving it above the bench is the perfect solution. As for the containers that you want advice on, they could easily be used as milking buckets! Not for a cow, they're much too small, but for cats, hamsters, jackalopes and the such... It took me a long time to find the right container for milking all my cats, but what you've got there would be perfect. Hope this helps!

    Far too large for hamsters, would spoil before even a quarter full. Jackelopes and I have a bad history ever since Americas Funniest Home Videos so that’s a real bugaboo for me. My female cat has been neutered but I’ll see if she’s up to the task at hand. She’s been out of control lately so maybe this will help.

    For those containers, just grab a Stanley knife and put a slit in it from top to bottom then grab your roll of sand paper and place in container and poking the end of the roll out, I have done this for all the grades (40, 60, 80, 120 ) and to help I have also screwed an old hacksaw blade to the container and tuck the sandpaper under the blade and that way it is easier to tear and to stop it from flinging out

    For those protein containers, I would use them for any plants that you want to get started before spring time. Big box stores don't have what I want and nurseries are outrageously priced, so I buy seeds and grow them myself. I love hydrangeas, but they range from $30-$50... so I started propagating my own. I have one parent that stays inside and then I'll layer 6 plants off of the one. In about 6 months, those 6 babies can be separated. Sell them and fund the next project :D

    Simply genius. Thank you for this idea. Going to make the second rack now with medical supply for the office with sliding front cover made from MDF strip with a lot of slits to make it bend and just glued a transperant plastic film on the front side and a grove to slide it up and it goes over the top and behind the shelf. Just made four sections with this so I can hook it down and bring the box with 25 a time with me if I going to move the shop to the cabin in summer months. This was an innovative idea because I have categorized them into each box so if I need nails, I take box one with me and if I need screws and bolts, I can take box four and five with me. This way if I decide to move the shop to the cabin for summer I can easly just put all of them in the car and they stay organized with plastic cover during transport and when hanging on the wall protecting them from dust.
