This was the perfect kind of video for me. I love seeing how shop storage came to be. The storage solutions that come up on TH-cam can be over-baked a little. I prefer simple and what works. It is also boiling down the many options to find the best for you. That only happens once you have tried a few yourself. I think the greatest reason we don’t see people showing their smaller storage projects is because they think it is too simple or boring. Trays for blocks are great.
@frankvucolo6249 Would love to hear how your bench and the cabinet above it became what it is now. If the bench came first on the wall or the cabinet. How the two clear acrylic doors happened. Dust. I love how it all looks together. Same for the bench to the right with the under bench carts. Shop evolution is interesting. My shop slowly gaining square footage against garage junk.
Greetings Frank, Thank you for sharing your shop and your organizational tips. Awesome! You and I may have been cut out of the same cloth. Organization is key, I build one off furniture so I’m not a production shop but knowing where everything is saves time and money not to mention I’ve always said a clean shop is a safe shop although mine has seen it days during a project build but I try to re-organize it and put things back before I start a new one.. I get some grief from friends on my shop saying I can do surgeries in it but at least I know were everything is..😂lol wishing you continued success with your channel. I’m looking forward to following along. Have a happy and safe new year! 😎
Really good video~! This is an area with which I really struggle, but I have high hopes for 2025. ;-) I really like the hand tool cabinet on the wall. Cabinets are what I really need to focus on, but so many build approaches make it difficult to decide. Keeping up the good fight~!
Love the deep dive on the drill/driver caddy. Great video too; relaxed and thorough and clear. I’m probably about your age, and I’ve come to many of the same conclusions over the years. Like the quick connect drills are useless. I work in a trade that uses the entire range of screws from flathead to roundhead, and slotted to square. Our road kit used to have caddies with racks for lead, shank and countersink for sizes from #6 to #18. Over the years we converted to combination bits from Fuller. I’m curious what brand those blue ones are, that you have. One note concerning “flat head”. A flathead screw can be any type of drive; square, Phillips, torx, slotted. A slotted screw can have several different heads; flat, round, pan. A flat blade screwdriver drives a slotted screw. 😊. I know I’m being insufferably nerdy, and you probably know all this. But I see so much of these misnomers here on TH-cam.
@@Hvn1957 thanks for watching. Those are Kowood pilot/countersink bits, straight off Amazon. I find that this style works well and never preferred the tapered ones. And you’re right. I said flathead when I meant to say slotted. I probably misspeak half a dozen times a video :) I like to do them like someone stopped by the shop and we are talking. No script. Stream of consciousness. When I pick it up in the editing I usually put in a subtitle correction. There will be more, and, no worries, I take no offense when folks correct me. It’s just how I like to do it. I tend not to enjoy content I watch that is over scripted or over produced. I appreciate the feedback!
Makita E-01236 for T27s. The only reason I know those work is that is what I use for derby covers on Harley Davidsons. They won't match the Milwaukee but they are still really good bits. I love watching shop organization videos.🍻
Great video and I like the casual presentation. Thanks for not adding any annoying music tracks, especially the power cords. Do you have any videos on how you made these organizational trays and holders?
Thanks! No, I don’t have a video on the driver and bits set up. I made that a long time before I started making videos. Just lay out the bits and drivers you want to incorporate into your set and draw out the blocks you need. Don’t worry about the tray until you work out your blocks. Then it’s just a matter of cutting the blocks and drilling the holes. Once you are satisfied, gather the blocks and figure out what size to make the tray. You can do this!
I like the drill bits, forester bits and other bits all grouped together in one tray but you can mix and match or take what you need quickly. Where did you get the little led light on the tripod? I might do some videos of my workshop.
Thanks Aaron. Those lights are all over, just search for on-camera lights and they come with a shoe mount so you can attach it to any tripod/camera/tripod bar etc.

Thanks Fearsome. Always looking to you guys for suggestions on what to post. Glad this was helpful.

Thanks Andrew. My philosophy is to keep things in sight and in reach. Go rock 2025, my friend!
Thanks, Bob. Doors over the bench have Lexan. Doors on the cabinets by the batteries and sharpening station are glass.
What I got from this video was see through doors…to me that is a great idea…👍👍. 🖖
Keeps the dust off and, hey, who doesn’t like looking at their tools!
@@frankvucolo6249 Or seeing what’s inside instead of searching !!!

I’ve always admired the level of organization you have in your shop. Remind me, are your cabinet door panels actually glass or are they Lexan?
Great video. Nice content. You sound like you grew up in Bridgeport. Southside.
Thanks Jeff. I’m a Jersey boy born and raised.
Thank you for posting. Along with battery organization, comes wire management for all the chargers. A real PITA!
Happiness comes from no tangle of charger wires. I agree!
