The first trick: a haven for shpuntik
But this option with a nail-screw-containing suitcase even gives off some intelligence :).
Trick two: we organize the storage of tools between heaven and earth
Various tools, nuts, washers can be simply hung. To do this, you will only need the wire necessary for bending hooks and hooks of various shapes, and, as you can see in the photo, a fiberboard sheet, preferably perforated. We don’t even talk about the details of the creation of this “masterpiece”: it seems to us that even a hedgehog understands this :).
Trick three: multi-story dormitory for nails

Let's describe this simple little thing in a little more detail. Storage of tools is, of course, great. But do not forget about some materials and accessories that also need to be stored and are afraid of moisture. For them, you can build a plywood box, the inner surface of which is sheathed with geotextiles, and the outer surface with foam. Shelves can be arranged inside the box, and the stored “values” can be placed, for example, in old plastic canisters, having previously prepared them accordingly.
So, we have outlined everything that we have been able to pick up for you at the moment. Of course, these are far from all the tricks and tricks that will ensure convenient storage tools and materials. We hope that the options we have proposed will open up wide possibilities for your personal imagination. As the great Samiznaetekto said, comrades, get to work! Move your convolutions and hands!
Channel such and such spoke about the organization of the workplace in the workshop. The idea is not about how to store screwdrivers and hammers. And about how to store hardware. The author of the video uses empty transparent milk bottles for nuts and nails.
The workshop has a lot of screws, screws and washers necessary for work. Previously, everything was stored in the organizer. But now they are used only when moving to objects for work. Before the trip, the required number of parts is poured into the cells.
In the workshop it is more convenient to store in bottles. They are easy to remove, screw on and put back in place. Everything is clearly visible, how much material and parts have been used up, left. Thanks to the visibility, it is possible to orient in time in order to purchase the required number of nails, cogs, screws.
After work, various parts are dumped into a separate container, and in their free time they are disassembled and put into bottles.
Previously, the master tried to store spare parts in nescafe jars. The lids were also nailed to the board. Then not yet to the ceiling, there were corners on the wall. Specially protruding board just below the ceiling. I had to sign, because they were opaque, tin. Also, the nescafe jars were heavy.
Currently, wide-mouthed bottles are in sufficient quantity. Take advantage of this way of storing parts such as screws and nails.
Banks for small things
Store nails, hooks, screws and other small things in transparent jars. For convenience, containers can be attached with lids to shelves.
These cans are attached with lids to the bottom shelf - saving space!
Magnet for storing nails and screws
It is often inconvenient to hammer in one nail or tighten one screw and reach for the next. Yes, and you need to save time, because it does not happen much. For these purposes, magnets are perfect, you just need to choose the appropriate magnet for the appropriate purpose.
For example, for carpentry, you can glue a small magnet to a hammer. Thus, you will always have a small supply of nails on hand. This is especially true for work at height, when reaching for the next nail is both inconvenient and simply dangerous.
And here is another situation: attach a long and narrow strip of a magnet to the wall, and store on it not only hardware, but also knives, screwdrivers, keys and any other metal thing.
Storage of screws and nails
You can also just put a small magnet in your breast pocket and attach what you need on top of it.
For construction and construction different designs mainly nails and self-tapping screws, etc. are used, and in this regard, you need to think about their storage.
To store screws and nails, etc., we use different containers from food products with a lid, since when buying by weight (storage in bags) or in a cardboard package (which, after opening, we were thrown away) and this didn’t suit us because it’s not convenient use for the safety of self-tapping screws, etc. If the length allows and not a large volume, then boxes from Montpensier are used, if larger, then we use the container as in the photo below.
Of the advantages of this use of storage, this is ease of carrying, relative compactness of storage (square would be more convenient), and budget.
You can also use purchased boxes, cardboard boxes, but they are not durable in use, you can make boxes from wood and plywood this season, we plan to make one for more compact storage.
In order not to look for the right screw for a long time, etc., we use different containers for different lengths and try to write it on the container or use the manufacturer's markings as in the photo below.
No matter how large the garage is, the problem of compact placement of all the equipment necessary for the household is always relevant. Storing the tool on the wall will help in many ways to solve the issue of limited space - so the right one will be at hand, and useful meters will not be used in vain. By organizing a tool storage system on the wall, you can solve many problems overnight. Each type of repair gear must be placed separately, this will further facilitate the search for a particular item. Next, let's get acquainted with the most popular and simple ideas for mounting the tool on the wall.
Organizers from cans for tools on the wall
If you don’t throw away canned food cans for some time, then you can build a wonderful organizer for storing tools on the wall with your own hands. Pliers, secateurs, scissors, brushes will be organically and conveniently placed in tins attached to the walls of the garage. Such a simple idea will allow you to use the space of the workshop to the maximum and keep all the necessary tools at hand.
Screwdriver holder
A screwdriver is a very useful household item. But finding it becomes a frequent problem, since it is small and inconspicuous. So that all screwdrivers are at hand, and the efforts to find the item of the desired model are minimized, you can build a holder. To do this, just drill holes in a wooden block and attach it to the wall.
Shelf with saw cuts for tools
Drills, jigsaws and screwdrivers love no less order than any other household assistant. It is convenient to store them on a shelf with sawn holes.
garden tools
How to hang tools on the wall in the garage? Nobody wants to step on the same rake day after day, however, if they lie anywhere in the garage, this will happen more than once. A smart solution would be to remove them from the aisle and securely attach them to the wall. Holders cut from an ordinary PVC pipe can help with this.
Shelving with containers
Useful little things are conveniently placed in containers on the shelves. You can use pallets to build a rack, you may have left them after building a garage or house.
Important! If you want the rack to be more mobile, you can attach wheels to it.
Organizer for small parts:
- Small useful things, such as screws, nuts and nails, are conveniently stored in bottles or jars made of transparent plastic. In order to save space on the shelves, the containers can be attached to a hanging holder.
Important! The place of attachment is more profitable to make on the lid of the container.
- Empty cropped cans can also be used to store the same tools.
Important! In order not to look for the necessary parts for a long time, it is better to mark the containers.
Storing band saws
Dangerous to store canvases band saw in a form twisted into a ring, because in the process of their deployment, you can get serious injury or injury. To safely store such tools on the wall, office clips can be used. With the help of them, a sharp canvas is fixed, hung on a hook or placed on a shelf.
How convenient to store drills and keys?
Another type of small household utility are various keys and drills. The tool mount on the wall can be made from magnetic tape. Thus, the drills will not get lost and will always be in order.
Tape storage:
- It is very convenient to store adhesive tape or electrical tape in a box with a metal strip distributor. This way you can easily tear off the required amount of tape without losing its ends for convenient later use.
- Another convenient method for storing duct tape is to use a coat hanger. By cutting the bottom of the hanger, you can hang some tape and tape on it. The hanger itself can be hung on a hook driven into the bottom of the rack shelf.
Hello to all DIY lovers!
As you know, do-it-yourselfers who actively use various small hardware in their work (studs, screws, nuts, washers, etc.) constantly have to solve the problem of their placement and storage.
So I now have a rather acute problem of placing such small fasteners. Moreover, this is largely due to the fact that for the third week now there have been decent frosts on the street so that there is no way to work in the workshop. Therefore, involuntarily, one has to relocate home and already at home and work on homemade products, at least those that can be made at home.
And so, in order to solve the problem of placing small fasteners at home, I decided to make a fairly simple organizer, and literally from the trash.
To do this, I needed the following supplies:
Materials:
Milk carton box;
- Plastic yogurt jars.
Instruments:
Pencil;
- Strong scissors;
- Construction or clerical knife;
- Stationery stapler.
Making an organizer
First, cut off the top of the box from the milk bags with scissors, while focusing on the side edges.
Then we strengthen the gluing points of the sides of the box, additionally fastening them with staples using a clerical stapler, just in case, so that they do not disperse.
Now, with a pencil, we mark in the bottom of the box, the places of cutouts for jars of yogurt and cut them out with a clerical knife.
In this case, you can cut out one slot, use the cut out part as a template for marking subsequent slots.
You can not care about the accuracy and evenness of the edges of the slots, since they will not be visible anyway.
I made seven slots in the bottom of the box, four slots for small yogurt jars and three for larger jars.
Now you can insert empty jars themselves into the slots made, which will serve as containers for storing our hardware.
And now our organizer is ready!
And this is what it looks like from below!
Now, you can fill the jars with hardware.
In the end, it turned out to be a pretty good organizer!
To be honest, I was afraid that because of the slots, the bottom of the box might lose its rigidity and become not very strong. But it turned out that the bottom retained its strength and rigidity quite well and, in principle, can easily withstand an even greater load (if, for example, all the jars are filled to the top with hardware).
Another convenience of this organizer is that each jar is easily removed from its slot. So if necessary, any jar can be removed from the slot to be replaced or moved to another location.
In addition, you can make several of these organizers and put them one on top of the other.
So I already cut out a blank for the same organizer from another box and put the finished organizer on it.
And I still have a lot of such cardboard boxes! :e113:
However, there are no more yogurt jars. :e115: Therefore, we will have to wait until new empty jars accumulate! :e139:
Well, that's all for me!
Goodbye everyone and have a great start to the new year!
