irnsrgn Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Glenn uses 55 gallon drums for storage. I have limited space in my Wood Shop for storage and the small bolts, nuts and washers I use often needed a small convenient space to be stored. So I made this little cabinet with sliding doors from scraps that sits on the floor under a bench overhang and some Campbell Soup cans to hold the parts. Same principle as Glenns 55 gallon barrel solution just a much smaller scale. Duplex outlet is for size purposes. simple handles are so I can pick it up easily and set on a bench for selection.

azmike Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I use coffee cans and poke a hole in the bottom end-slide it on a 6" pegboard hanger and hang them from a piece of pegboard-----works good for smaller stuff and is large enough to store lots of stuff.

Bentiron1946 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 When I had space for such things I used 5 gallon steel buckets for plumbing and electrical fittings. Had the bottom shelf of the shelving unit set at a 15 degree angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
