One point I'd like to make, and it deserves attention, your basment is a conditiond space year round, heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, what items in your shed/ garage workshop need to be kept at a livable temperature year round? The paints calks glue finishes can all go in the basment, then all you have in the shop is tools, nothing thats going to require heat or ac temperature year round. It cost money to heat the shop, you either buy the wood to burn or cut down the trees using gasoline then split it. Your not going to be using any of it today. Untill you do you can store it. Just bring up what you need as you need it. This leaves more room for tools, sanding disks and consumable items. Something to think about and you wont have to keep the garage/shed shop warm.
Guys have been doing this for years Baby food jars screw the lid to the cabnit bottom over a 2x3 or 2x4 and fill the jar with nuts bolts screws ex unscrew it when you need it use a few then put the jar back. You can use peanut butter jars pickel jars what ever, large almost quart size placenta sauce jars make good scoops with handel and all just cut out the bottom, fruit and pudding cups are great to put glue in insted of using it from the gallon jug, lays stack potato chip tubes lids fit some of the fruit cups perfectly and can be used to keep the wood glue in overnight. You have a lot of dead space you could install French clets to hold tools . You can also make a bench over the roll out tools. Or even a flip out bench with a leg to use as an outfeed table for the saw. Lumber rack off one wall to hold rough cut lumber. And a plywood/sheet good cart.
I used to be in manufacturing and have gone through some lean course (5S is part of lean). The hardest part of 5S is sustain. It's easy to get motivated and start the program - sorting, shining, etc. - but once that is done, keeping it going is the part where it often goes astray. "I'll put that away tomorrow" or "We'll clean it all up this weekend" creeps in and before you know it, you are back to where you were before 5S. You have to allow yourself the time to stay neat and organized. I now own a small sewer and drain business and I subcontract for many plumbers. I do some specialty stuff and have more tools than a lot of them. They see my van and are really wowed by the organization. I've had guys take pictures and tell me they are going to copy it. And I still need to do more organization. The van I have now was already decked out with shelves when I bought it so that's what I worked with. I'm planning on a new van in the near future and it will be a clean sheet build-out to be as organized as possible. More organized = faster work = more money.
Gotta love Doug the super-organized neighbor. My shop/garage is often a mess, generally because I have too many in-work projects at the same time. For me, step one is to get those projects completed, because until I do that, nothing I might try is going to stick. The "how often or how soon will you need this" metric and the "place for everything, everything in its place" metric are spot on. They are the perfect starting place for organizing anything.
ADAM, you mentioned '5 S' My organization skills are.... 1. Save it. 2. Got more? Stock pile it. 3. Stumped on where to put it? 4. Stare at it! Then... 5. Save it till later!
@@HometownAcres Really don't want to be like that anymore! Lol . I built my house 42 years ago, only had a 2ft carpenters square, a power saw, framing hammer,and a 4 ft aluminum level. Now, at 68 I have enough specialty tools to make anything! (Which I have!) Just don't want to throw them away, but the grandkids have no interest in them! And most have no idea what they're for.
for those oil products, get a metal cabinet, because if any of those oil containers leak or have residue on their surface after use, they are going to stain that wooden cabinet and you will get a oil smell permanently in the cabinet. One other tip with a reel extension cord, hang another on by the door, but with a 100ft length, soyou have a second one inside the garage, but also one that can reach quite a ways out of it.
I yelled out my window, no Doug showed up. I threw out a lot of garbage in the garage last weekend. It started as "This would be good for a project someday" As I looked through my garage I realized I was never going to work on those projects. The items moved from the project supplies category to the garbage category. I still have more to clean but it's looking better already.
I keep my funnels in a 5 gallon bucket so they are not constantly dripping on everything until they dry. Measuring cups for fuel mix, short lengths of fuel line, clamps, tin can for a small catch basin, filter wrench, all found their home in the bucket as well.Put a lid on the bucket and keep out the dust and keep in the smell as well as providing a seat while your waiting for the oil to drain. 5S is used by Boeing so there must be some merit to the system.
The last few minutes you described me exactly. Always cleaning and never organizing. Finally started organizing now that I am heading into retirement and hey look there is that wrench I couldn't find! Obviously you know how that goes. Great Video!
Two takeaways for me: the miter saw wall mount storage and the double use for the LED shop lights. Both brilliant ideas that I’m gonna steal for my shop!
Adam, love the way your shop is coming together. It is not only really functional but man, does it look good! The only other thing I would suggest is upgrade the fluorescent lights to shop LED lights. Brighter and use way less electric
So , neighbor Doug has been helping me some with my channel being I really new to this. So hopefully I can help some l. I have a suggestion for shop lights , being there linkable and they offer many different lengths of prebuilt cords with switch’s and such. I love mine for above my bench there light weight and easy to hang. Barrina Led shop lights 40w 5000lm 5000k pack of 6 costs about 71 dollars. If you need pictures of my bench with them on I can gladly get them to you.
I love that Doug drives a Honda Element. One of the most underrated, practical, reliable, cleanable with a hose cars you never considered.....just like his shop ideas.
Adam, I wanted to personally thank you for making this post. Between my woodworking shop, garage, and attic you have finally taught me what it takes to get it all organized. I was caught in the conundrum of looking at for example my cans of polishing compound, buffing wheels etc taking up prime space in my garage shelving although I don't even use those annually. WIth the organizational method you described, yearly, monthly, daily I can now set forth on an organizational plan that will idealize my shop. I love your channel. I'm working on cleaning, sorting and organizing my elaborate woodworking shop getting it camera ready. I have a llifetime of experience in woodworking, and am really looking forward to sharing it via You Tube. Wish I was your neighbor.
Great video gentlemen. Some great ideas here. I did a complete declutter of my garage last fall and built some great shelving with a buddy. I am going to save this one for future reference.
New here... I have done the 5S, Six Sigma, Kaizen, Etc. I moved about a year ago from a small house, large yard and big garage, to a larger house, small yard and smaller garage. My garage is killing me every time I look at it. I dont know where to begin. The last house was so organized and placed neatly. I appreciate this video! There is light at the end of the tunnel! Haha.
Having that 5’ beside your main doors is clutch making everything you have on wheels perfect. That leaves your whole space available either wheel your tool to or park equipment in. Cool mitre saw stand, label reasoning is perfect. I labeled my tool box drawers. Neil from Dig Drive DIY suggested in one of his videos that his subs come check your channel out.
Great video. I need to organize mine for sure. I have said to myself a time or two where something will be due to priority of use silently. I will step up my game now.
Random thought, double stack cans on bottom, move shelf up and single stack on top. Less weight on the shelf, and easier to handle stacked cans if they’re down lower, especially for someone that’s not over 6’ tall
We're in the process of moving, so my brain is a little slow...I forgot to say how funny the DOUG part was so funny. You've got a great imagination, Adam, & the perfect friend & neighbor to show it! Great job, guys!! ⭐️👍🤩
Learned a bunch! Great idea for storing and using my LED lights! Get them off the floor and into use! Neighbor Doug and you make a terrific and helpful team! Thanks so much, be well and be safe!
Great video! Your shop looks great. Im going to look more into 5S for when i set up my shop. I had no idea that was a label maker until Doug labeled it. Good stuff.
Funny Label Maker - Doug Edition - Special Edit! I also liked the Doug-Mobile entrance at the beginning - you guys are hilarious! Great video - I love the LED Work Lights in the Ceiling - an amazing Idea. I also like the extension pull cord application. I am always wrapping that cord and making sure it doesn't get twisted inside the shell - I hated when they get kinked. I really appreciate this video - I am going to have to do the same thing soon. I have a garage structure reconstruction coming up this summer and I can't wait to implement some of these ideas. Thanks Again!
Great video Adam! That was truly a Douification to a garage if I ever saw one!! Everything is so much easier when organized and a study shows you can save yourself two weeks out of the year by not having to try to find things when they are not in their assigned area. obie
Great video. You could consider under cabinet lighting above the rolling tool boxes. And a way to catch grease drips from the gun. Maybe a catch reservoir under the cabinet or attached to the wall. I will be checking out 5-S.
'A place for everything and everything in its place' is a terrific aspiration. Best not to cram certain things in too many layers deep when it can be avoided. Thanks for the tips
When are yuan’s going to make a TH-cam series like the hoarders show where you go to different places and organize garages within an hour drive (hint hint). Blessings
10:55 "hell yeah" . In my smaller 2 car garage shop I have now about 100,000lm (not a joke) of mainly 5-6000k lighting overhead and under shelving. It makes working late at night like daytime. Also bright light does a lot for the physiology and not feeling tired or worn. I work 98% of the time after the kids fall asleep so not my most energetic time. It's been cool watching the build of this. Been following you for a while now since meeting neighbor Doug. Your framing nails, and other may serve best on the bottom drawer vs prime eye level cabinets? I have over a dozen Vevor products now, and they are solid value and mostly great quality. Above average IMO. WORKPRO included..I've been incredibly impressed with the quality and diversity there.
Drain pans fit under rolling boxes. Plastic mortar mixing boxes also fit, giving you an extra drawer. I keep kneeling pads in one and trowels in the other.
Always fun to watch garage greatness. I might add a few things if I can. If you have a small ziplock slide it over the tip of the grease gun and secure it with a clamp type paper clip. It will save you floor. I wondered if you couldn’t add some kind of LED task lighting to the bottoms of you cabinets? Thant would go along way to brighten up the areas below the cabinets. Most big box lumber stores or Ace hardware stores carry a Velcro product called Wrap-It. They come in varying width’s & lengths. I would gather up the slack in the power cord of the ceiling mounted cord reel. There is a nice sized grommet at one end you use with screw in type cup hook or larger hook. See you in the next installment.
GREAT Idea on the chop saw storage! I have the exact same stand, and it does not store well at all with the saw on it... I don't use it every day, so it's a real pain in the shop...
I really need to do this, it looks so much better. I noticed your garage doors lookin really sharp too , I would love to get a few close ups to see what you did to them. Thx for the video 👍
Great job Adam and Doug 👍 I’m very familiar with the 5S concept since we had to adhere to similar practices where I worked for 41 years. And a big thanks for the link to the Vevor Retractable Extension Cord… I really needed one and just placed the order. 🙏
I mounted my large power tools on casters years ago when I didn’t have much room in my garage. Make sure you have your heavy power tools on a well stabilized casters / carts / mobile skids. A heavy tool MUST have a wide stable mobile base. Personal experience; I had a tall cars iron table saw on a unstable base. Moving the saw, it caught a electric cord and it flipped over instantly. Amazingly I was uninsured, no major damage to the saw. If I had been pulling towards me major injury. I’m making a new expanded stable base.
Looks great. I wouldn't put the jointer and planer by the overhead door though. That's just asking for moisture to blow in on them when you open the overhead door.
Great video Adam! Just a thought ...with some of the leftover wood it might be nice to make a holder for your latex gloves and maybe big enough to keep two different sizes. I don't have a holder myself but I do keep a box by my mower and a box on my work bench.
I love what Doug suggested with the shelves in the first cabinet. Most of us would overlook that. I really like the timeframes for use of items and how they're stored depending on those times. That's all part of the sort/set-in-order. I'm really surprised Doug, of all people, didn't mention the 6th S - Safety. That's especially important in the shop. One of the things I noticed right away as you were hanging things on the walls was the roller stands and clamps right above and around that window. I would consider moving those or covering that window with a sheet of plastic/plexiglass so you don't put a clamp or stand through it when you're tired and hanging things up at the end of the day.
The wall mounted mitersaw rack could swing up with fold out legs with 2 fold down benches to be a miter station. I give you all these ideas, I only wished I had the space for a shop you do. Bright idea with the LED lamps. I bought a bunch of used 4' Florent fixtures with the bulbs the guy had hung them on the celing unscrewed the bulbs put in a screw in outlet and added power strips that way I could hang them where I needed light staple to wires to the celing And turn every light on at the wall switch. Belive it or not it meets code. Its temporary lights. When the bulbs burn out ill buy led tubes to replace them.
Excellent job. I got a big chuckle of doug racing up the drive.. You hollering doug name out the window reminding me of a cartoon when I was a kid when they would holler " under dog " and he would show up.. You may be too young to remember that. And I have a tip for you.... I wouldn't store extra siding above the ceiling. It'll be too hot and warp / twist from the summer heat. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
A simple suggestion for the nail guns, I’d recommend getting cabinet handles and mounting them sideways on the side of your upper cabinets. It could match the hardware you already have on the cabinets and you could hang both on the same side
What I wouldn't give to have a "neighbor Doug" living near me. I need to do a Spring Cleaning of the shop space, and this will help me put it back together with more thought and purpose. I like the Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly comments - I'll keep that in mind and I go too. Thanks!
I cut 3 holes in the bottom edge in a bucket n put it on a pulley for raising n lowering n fill it w my rags.up off the floor n out of the cabinet.works great.
Clear Acrylic door faces on the Wall Cabinets would make finding "stuff" easier. Also draping sheets over the Plainer and Jointer will keep debris off, and keep you from stacking crud onto!
Your next upgrade to the shop is needing to be replaced with led shop lights. I recommend that you have outlets put in where your existing electric box on the cieling is that way you can plug the new lights in easily and replace them just as fast if they do go bad. I did this in my shop and it was a huge difference in lighting and old florescent lights wasn't efficient, didnt produce good lighting and the ballast issues the florescent had was eliminated by installing the new led shop lights. You can even plug many models together to get more opinions in spacing
5 S is the best! I've worked in manufacturing for 25+ years and having a place for every tool / part is great so anyone can just walk in and know where something is. You can go to the extreme and use colored tape to outline the area where a tool goes on the floor and so on.. OCD people will love it even more lol. We use to even tape line the walls for brooms, shovels, mops and all tools that hang on the wall. I wish i could follow my same work rules at home though. I'm always looking for tools cause i never put them back where they belong.
I see air compressors taking up prime real estate in people's garages. You need the air, not the compressor itself. I hid mine under a workbench in the corner with female connectors in a couple of spots. Better yet, put it outside, in the back or wherever, in its own enclosure so you don't have to hear it running.
I would add a coupler to mast for dust collector. That way you can put it under cabinet and put Toolbox at window. Won't hit your head on cabinets and can use Toolbox top.
15:54 Great place to hang brooms, rakes, or shovels between the cabinets. Where the beam is. Doug - Use that label maker to it's full potential. Label each window as a window. Same with the doors. Label every square inch. LOL
Best thing I did was hang one of those cord reels by the garage door opener plug. Best $35 I spent at Costco. It's always getting used for everything because there is no mess to put it away when you're done.

One point I'd like to make, and it deserves attention, your basment is a conditiond space year round, heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, what items in your shed/ garage workshop need to be kept at a livable temperature year round?
The paints calks glue finishes can all go in the basment, then all you have in the shop is tools, nothing thats going to require heat or ac temperature year round.
It cost money to heat the shop, you either buy the wood to burn or cut down the trees using gasoline then split it.
Your not going to be using any of it today.
Untill you do you can store it.
Just bring up what you need as you need it. This leaves more room for tools, sanding disks and consumable items.
Something to think about and you wont have to keep the garage/shed shop warm.
Guys have been doing this for years
Baby food jars screw the lid to the cabnit bottom over a 2x3 or 2x4 and fill the jar with nuts bolts screws ex unscrew it when you need it use a few then put the jar back. You can use peanut butter jars pickel jars what ever, large almost quart size placenta sauce jars make good scoops with handel and all just cut out the bottom, fruit and pudding cups are great to put glue in insted of using it from the gallon jug, lays stack potato chip tubes lids fit some of the fruit cups perfectly and can be used to keep the wood glue in overnight. You have a lot of dead space you could install French clets to hold tools .
You can also make a bench over the roll out tools. Or even a flip out bench with a leg to use as an outfeed table for the saw.
Lumber rack off one wall to hold rough cut lumber. And a plywood/sheet good cart.

Great job Adam and Doug 👍 I’m very familiar with the 5S concept since we had to adhere to similar practices where I worked for 41 years. And a big thanks for the link to the Vevor Retractable Extension Cord… I really needed one and just placed the order. 🙏
Interesting, I'll look into the 5S system
5S and 6S organizing systems are great. But you always need a junk drawer.
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.
Wow, excellent video!! Great shop! 🪵🪵🪵🪚👍🏻
I mounted my large power tools on casters years ago when I didn’t have much room in my garage. Make sure you have your heavy power tools on a well stabilized casters / carts / mobile skids. A heavy tool MUST have a wide stable mobile base. Personal experience; I had a tall cars iron table saw on a unstable base. Moving the saw, it caught a electric cord and it flipped over instantly. Amazingly I was uninsured, no major damage to the saw. If I had been pulling towards me major injury. I’m making a new expanded stable base.
Looks great. I wouldn't put the jointer and planer by the overhead door though. That's just asking for moisture to blow in on them when you open the overhead door.
Adam I agree with you and did make labels for tools and excess bolts/nails.
Great video Adam! Just a thought ...with some of the leftover wood it might be nice to make a holder for your latex gloves and maybe big enough to keep two different sizes. I don't have a holder myself but I do keep a box by my mower and a box on my work bench.
VERY HELPFUL, ADAM AND DOUG, THANKS !!!!
This video was definitely helpful. It helped generate a lot of thought which in turn helps to put some positive changes into action.
Hey Adam ! Catfish here ! What a great video ! Everything has come full circle , planning pays . You’ve done yourself proud !
I love what Doug suggested with the shelves in the first cabinet. Most of us would overlook that. I really like the timeframes for use of items and how they're stored depending on those times. That's all part of the sort/set-in-order. I'm really surprised Doug, of all people, didn't mention the 6th S - Safety. That's especially important in the shop. One of the things I noticed right away as you were hanging things on the walls was the roller stands and clamps right above and around that window. I would consider moving those or covering that window with a sheet of plastic/plexiglass so you don't put a clamp or stand through it when you're tired and hanging things up at the end of the day.
The wall mounted mitersaw rack could swing up with fold out legs with 2 fold down benches to be a miter station.
I give you all these ideas, I only wished I had the space for a shop you do.
Bright idea with the LED lamps.
I bought a bunch of used 4' Florent fixtures with the bulbs the guy had hung them on the celing unscrewed the bulbs put in a screw in outlet and added power strips that way I could hang them where I needed light staple to wires to the celing
And turn every light on at the wall switch.
Belive it or not it meets code. Its temporary lights. When the bulbs burn out ill buy led tubes to replace them.

Excellent job.
I got a big chuckle of doug racing up the drive.. You hollering doug name out the window reminding me of a cartoon when I was a kid when they would holler
" under dog " and he would show up.. You may be too young to remember that.
And I have a tip for you.... I wouldn't store extra siding above the ceiling. It'll be too hot and warp / twist from the summer heat.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

I'm stealing the storage idea for the folding stands. Good work Doug.
A simple suggestion for the nail guns, I’d recommend getting cabinet handles and mounting them sideways on the side of your upper cabinets. It could match the hardware you already have on the cabinets and you could hang both on the same side
The shop looks awesome!!!
Great video!
Well done!
What I wouldn't give to have a "neighbor Doug" living near me. I need to do a Spring Cleaning of the shop space, and this will help me put it back together with more thought and purpose. I like the Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly comments - I'll keep that in mind and I go too. Thanks!
Good job and thank you for sharing some good suggestions
Adam, we use the 5S system at work. It's very helpful!
Great video Adam and Doug 👀👍❤
Good looking shop. Yes One eyed customs is a great channel as well.
I cut 3 holes in the bottom edge in a bucket n put it on a pulley for raising n lowering n fill it w my rags.up off the floor n out of the cabinet.works great.
Looks Great Adam 👍
Clear Acrylic door faces on the Wall Cabinets would make finding "stuff" easier.
Also draping sheets over the Plainer and Jointer will keep debris off, and keep you from stacking crud onto!
I like the chop saw on the wall! I gotta do that.
Love it! Great ideas! Now I have lotsa more work to do in my garage lol. Thanks ;) Looks great!
Check this one also… this video started Adams need to organize his garage

Great video Adam and Doug
Using the stored work lights as supplemental shop lighting is genius!
Your next upgrade to the shop is needing to be replaced with led shop lights. I recommend that you have outlets put in where your existing electric box on the cieling is that way you can plug the new lights in easily and replace them just as fast if they do go bad. I did this in my shop and it was a huge difference in lighting and old florescent lights wasn't efficient, didnt produce good lighting and the ballast issues the florescent had was eliminated by installing the new led shop lights. You can even plug many models together to get more opinions in spacing
Very useful information, thanks.
I have seen Neighbor Doug’s shop videos before. Did not realize until you showed his shop (at 17:00) that “that guy” is your neighbor!
lmao that zaboomafoo reference !!!! hahaha!
5 S is the best! I've worked in manufacturing for 25+ years and having a place for every tool / part is great so anyone can just walk in and know where something is. You can go to the extreme and use colored tape to outline the area where a tool goes on the floor and so on.. OCD people will love it even more lol. We use to even tape line the walls for brooms, shovels, mops and all tools that hang on the wall. I wish i could follow my same work rules at home though. I'm always looking for tools cause i never put them back where they belong.
I see air compressors taking up prime real estate in people's garages. You need the air, not the compressor itself. I hid mine under a workbench in the corner with female connectors in a couple of spots. Better yet, put it outside, in the back or wherever, in its own enclosure so you don't have to hear it running.
That looks great. No matter how many times I clean my shop or garage it just gets messy again can’t seem to keep it from clutter.
You need to organize instead of cleaning. I used to do the same thing
Great video great ideas 💡 👍
I would add a coupler to mast for dust collector. That way you can put it under cabinet and put Toolbox at window. Won't hit your head on cabinets and can use Toolbox top.
Looks great!!
It looks pretty and functional, expected nothing less from Dough! :)
15:54 Great place to hang brooms, rakes, or shovels between the cabinets. Where the beam is.
Doug - Use that label maker to it's full potential. Label each window as a window. Same with the doors. Label every square inch. LOL
Best thing I did was hang one of those cord reels by the garage door opener plug. Best $35 I spent at Costco. It's always getting used for everything because there is no mess to put it away when you're done.
Great job.
thanks for sharing
Fantastic!
