Soup cans vs 55 gallon drums for storage solution

Featured Replies

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.

Nice cabinet, I may just borrow your idea, I like it.

Jr: To paraphrase the Campbells kids, that's an Mmmm, Mmmm, Good (Idea, that is!)

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.

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.

That's a great little cabinet!

Nice deal Junior. I use ( now plastic ) coffee cans and bolt boxes.
