- Revisiting our one day build of a hardware storage system built for Harbor Freight Portable Parts Storage Case- this small parts organizer cabinet has helped me to organize small parts in my workshop.

I've used this organizer almost every day for 3-1/2 years and thought it was time to give an update. I think of this as a Sortimo storage system alternative. It was inspired by the popular Adam Savage Sortimo rack video and his one day builds. These are a less expensive alternative to Dewalt Tstak drawers or Sortimo T-Boxx. I've been using the 20, 15, & 8 bin parts storage cases for years but didn't have a good place to store them. I love the flexibility of these cases for small parts storage. You can organize parts by either function or project and mix and match different size bins between cases. This organizer will hold the 20 & 15 bin storage cases, and by removing shelves, can hold the 8 bin cases. This project has been a huge leap forward in organizing not just my parts, but my entire workshop.

This is a excellent design, I definitely need to be more organized and this gives me the fizz thinking about building it.
A place for everything and everything in its place. Hits me right in the organizational feels. 👍🏻
Found a fairly inexpensive and easy solution with an IKEA TROFAST. The HF large & medium bins slide right onto the drawer glides and lock in since they're tapered. If you don't want to stack you can use the TROFAST shelf inserts to set bins on top as well as 2 small boxes side by side. You can still skip that to save room and stack 1-2 high. But at $60 each w/~15 minute assembly, it'll get you up and running fast. I suppose a con is you don't have a shelf for every bin and they're 37" high, but you could stack a pair. Mine will go underneath my raised workbench. Haven't tested the full capacity of each size because customers have wiped out supply at the 3 local stores with the sidewalk sale. It's vastly superior than shuffling boxes like a deck of cards on top of a workbench and saved me hours and likely more money on wood and time cutting & building a DIY solution.
I can't wait to build this - really nice job on the details of the project!
Thank you! I have the same organizers and was looking for a way to stack them. This is the best idea yet.
Love your shop organisation. That's right up my street.
Great video. Storage and organization rolled into one project.
Merry Christmas.
Great way to store small parts without spending a fortune. I have lots of plastic containers with parts and just stack them on top of each other. The problem is getting to the ones on the bottom. Having them in compartments like you have them is super cool. I noticed that about one minute into the video you showed a container with wire nuts, wagos, 1 hole straps ect. I'm guessing your and electrician. Wild guess. Great job on the build. 👍👍
Hi Pete, I made one about a year ago from your original video. I love it. Thanks again.
Glad to hear you built one!
Interesting project....
I have always liked your rack/storage system Pete and yes if someone would offer one prebuilt I am sure it would sell fast.
Nice project 👍
Thanks 👍
....I want one.
I don't have a workshop, but I do use HF storehouse boxes for other things pretty heavily.
Great build, thank you! Some comments & questions - How deep did you cut the shelf dados? In hindsight, do you wish you had cut dados on the back to add additional stiffness to the shelves? Do the shelves bow at all? Also, with the back glued and screwed in place, is there still a need for the threaded rod?
I like that you did not glue the shelves in as this allows greater flexability should you want to use the deeper boxes. Just remove a shelf and you're good to go!
Agree with you, the box you want is always on the bottom of the stack and yes, HF should come up with a simple knock-down piece for their boxes.
Cheers!
Have you seen Adams new rack setup with slide rails? Looking for the same thing but using no rails but perhaps having the wood slide out a bit and drop down at a slight angle.
I need small bins and a Rack!
Love the Subscribe case, lol. Will do.
Thanks!
Do you have a cut list you can send or do i need to watch and write down. Great work!
Ok yeah sure!!!
Do you have any issues with the lids staying open?
Nice vid, where can I buy a box of Install. I could use that everywhere.
It's my most used box! LOL
Hi Pete! Love the "SUBSCRIBE" label. Are you a This Old Tony fan, by chance? Reminded me of him!
I usually try to sneak stuff like that in almost every video. It may very well have been subconsciously inspired by years of watching TOT.
I came here to say just this, was wondering how many other viewers caught it. Gave me a welcome little chuckle at the end of a hard day/week,thanks :-)
Nice work, Pete! I really admire your woodworking skills. You made building this rack look so easy but it is something I would rather buy than make since I do not have the skills that you possess.
Thank you very much!
Are the marzel vanes in that organizer hydrocoptic?
I actually keep all 3 types in stock in several different sizes. 😂
@@PeteRondeau I like your setup! It's actually incredibly similar to the one that a large aerospace company uses, though I'm not technically allowed to say which one, unfortunately.
@@PeteRondeau I thought you were telling someone named Marzel Vanes to Subscribe from the adjacent organizer. Didn't know it was part of the Encabulator! lol
Lol 😂
