Sir, you and I are kindred spirits. Honestly, when I saw the title of your video I chuckled as I'm somewhat of an organization freak myself. After only a very few minutes I knew I had to watch. Very impressive garage. I especially like the laundry room shelving for keeping pliers tidy. The level of organization throughout is superb and your rational for being organized is spot on. I also really loved that you've kept the vital elements of home and family in your garage. As a fellow Canadian I salute you. I'll leave you with only one request: please take great care riding your motor bikes because the world needs more people like you. Greatest of respect, and thanks you you for sharing.
Thank you very much for the kind words and the appreciation. Also, thanks for the reminder to drive carefully. It is great to meet a like minded person as well! Take care fellow Canuck!
YEAH, AGREE!! I GAVE UP MY MOTORCYCLE YEARS AGO AFTER TWO SPIN OUTS. I WAS 22 YEARS OLD THEN. 78 NOW. COULD NOT JUSTIFY THE POSSIBILITY OF A DISABILITY. WATCH OUT !!!!
That was a very well written genuine compliment and assessment of this UA-camr's (AT-AT Designs) efforts! We need more encouragers out there who inspirationally springboard men into similar work efforts on behalf of their families! Not a lot of down to earth role models left out there without having to spend considerable effort tracking them down. Thank God for UA-cam! Hat's off to you, fellas!

The one thing you always have to worry about in having a garage is, security, if you live on a busy street or neighborhood, every time you open your garage you invite eyes to peer into your world of precious stuffs. I store everything in my basement, or inside a closet dedicated to tools and such. I try not to store anything of value but to any scavenger roaming the neighborhood a red plastic gas can is a score. Keep you gear secure and try as much as possible to keep valuable stuff hidden.
Yes, always a concern
Sounds like you need to move to a better place
There's always a better place until it isn't-
There aren’t any better places…the criminals are seeping in and infesting every centimeter they can get into. I make a plan every time I leave the house and another plan every time I re-enter the house 👀
I'm a Professional Organizer who also loves tools and garage spaces. This speaks my language! 😁 Great job, love it!!
Thank you! 😊
I did the cabinets thing but I never considered making them look like a toolbox or thinking they'd look that good. This is like garage/dad inspiration.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a comment. I left them white for years and finally bit the bullet one weekend.
Yes, I did the same too, to match my toolboxes. Just rostoleum flat black and a brushed steel handle and boom, it looks amazing.
That wire shelving for tool separation is genius idea 👍👍👍
Thank you
I have seen this garage first hand and this video just gives you a small glimpse of how AWESOME his garage is!
Doesn’t this video make you wonder what his house looks like on the inside??
Thanks Aaron, for all your hard work you put it into my bike!!!!!!
You are very kind, thank you!
The best part of it all was witnessing your (well deserved) pride in the finished product! That's a great job. I like the drill press station w/ the swing out grinder table. Smart. You put a lot use in your overall footprint & wall space.
Thank you very much for your insightful comment.
Thank you for the tip of putting the drawer labels on a magnetic base. I am going to utilize your idea. Nice clean organization. 👌
Thank you!
I agree. That's a brilliant approach. I've never been a drawer labeler but using mags makes it a smart & usable method!
Wow... just wow. I am both daunted and inspired by seeing your workspace and hearing your thinking on how and why each part is designed and used. I am also one who was raised to not throw things away, but organizing all those damn bits and bobs is a chore. In my garage *and* in my art studio. You are so right though, that organizing them hap-hazardly has resulted in wasted time. It's good to hear your encouragement that putting in the time up front will pay back in the long run.
I'm about to do yet another organization of my studio work-space so the timing of finding this video (randomly! I was looking at something else!) is perfect.
I hand-sew, machine sew, paint (on canvas), draw, make papier mache, handmade books, collages, masks, faux finish painted furniture... etc. I just bought a YUKON 9 drawer, wheeled tool cabinet that I am VERY excited about. I have a lot of mis-matched storage pieces collected over time and am happy to be consolidating things and creating different, more customized storage for all of my projects. I also bought hanging bags- the kind used for prescriptions at the pharmacy- but in several different sizes, from 7"x10" up to 20" x 25". They're 4 ML plastic with heavier weight handles than the ones for pharmacies. I bought shelf standards and I customized the brackets to fit the 3/8" metal rods that accommodate the handles of the hanging bags. So when I get that up on the wall, I will be able to store papers and fabrics as well as ongoing projects in a way that I can *see* them (rather than digging through boxes and bins to find them). I think they'll take up less room too. And for the tiny stuff... I've always been a bit skeptical about those multi-small drawer bins but seeing your organizing system makes so much sense in using them efficiently. I could go on, but I'll stop here! Just thanks very much for sharing this!
Thank you for the comment and sharing your clever ideas!
If your bike gets stolen in between going to your back yard, you DON’T live is a good neighborhood!!!😂
I guess but is there Is there any neighbourhood that is safe from thieves?
Yeah good neighborhoods, not adjacent to crap neighborhoods
Fantastic! You're custom Snap-On cabinets look great & make sense. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
I love seeing a garage with multiple interests / activities layered together, and The notes organization of small parts is a fast efficient tool. Brilliant.
The red repurposed kitchen cabinets look great too.
Cheers from Cowtown
Cool, a fellow Albertan, thanks for the comment.
My husband finally gets his dream garage! I’m so excited for him! He takes great care of his vehicles, his tools, and all of the other man stuff.
I have a feeling it may look like yours once it’s all put together. Although, he doesn’t use pegboard…🤔
Very cool!
My garage is a mess. I have many of the things you do with 0 time to tidy up and not enough room for all my stuff. When I hit my 60s and health issues took over my life, my todo list just slips more and more.
Totally understandable.
I’d say, donate it, I’m sure you have stuff there you haven’t used in years and may never use. The excess just causes you more stress.
“You had me at my garage is a mess…You had me at my garage is a mess!”
-Dorothy Boyd (Me) to Jerry Maguire, Jerry Maguire (1996)
Stop making excuses and get motivated and moving it’s good for your health!
Great Respect for you! It is the most organized garage I have ever seen! Thank you for the inspiration and ideas to organize mine. Mine is a mess right now but hope someday to reach at least an intermediate level compared to yours! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the kind compliment!
Awesome... I certainly aspire to have this level of organization and cuss myself out everytime I go to look for something!!! Two things I am very intrigued by though are the black tile garage flooring and the "parking spot" floor draining system you have. I would love more information about your set up.
The tile is called multi tile, it clicks together. The floor draining system is a piece of vinyl flooring with pvc pipe as borders to lift up the edges to contain the water.
Great set up. There are several ideas there I'll be using in my relentless pursuit of organization. The re-purposing your kitchen cabinets made to look like a tool chest was pure genius. One thing I saw that might help you is to add some sliders trays under all your automotive liquid bottles (10:06) to make it easy to get to the ones in the back. Now, back to MY garage. I've got a lot of work to do. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion!
My friend what a terrific video whether a man has a garage Workshop or even a shed to keep his worldly possessions in it is always nice to have it organized where you can find what you need or remake repairs on what may need be fixed and you have done a terrific job at that you have given me ideas for my own garage thanks for the terrific video I am happy I found your Channel I have subscribed
Thank you for the kind words!
DAMNED BRILLIANT !!!! YOU ARE DEFINITELY NO PACK RAT!! YOU ARE THE MOST ORGANIZED HANDS-ON PROFESSIONAL THAT ANYONE COULD EVER FIND ON YOU TUBE. I TOO NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY, AND IT HAS BEEN HELL FOR ME TO WORK ON PROJECTS. YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO DO SO MUCH BETTER. RAISED ON A FARM WITH NO MONEY?? YOU ARE AMAZING. I LIKE THE WAY YOU USE THOSE CLOSET MAID SHELVING FOR YOUR PLIER TYPE TOOLS. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! WHENEVER I GO ONTO UA-cam OR ONTO OTHER PARTS OF THE INTERNET TO WATCH PEOPLE REPAIR OR REVIEW TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, I ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE BACKGROUND BEHIND THEM. THAT'S WHERE I LEARN HOWTHEY ORGANIZE THIER STUFF. NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE BEST MECHANICS, COME CLOSE TO YOUR LEVEL AND INNOVATION OF ORGANIZATION.
Wow thank you for the kind words, that is very nice of you.
Very nice set up! I too can’t imagine letting go of some of the special things my sons played with and collected when they were young. Into dad’s shop they go!
Aweseome. I am sure when the grandkids come around someday they will appreciate that you kept them!
I have a very similar numbering system on an Excel spreadsheet. It is printed it out alphabetically. It's very quick to locate anything. Another benefit is if you have too many of one item (like your example of small tubes) to fit in one drawer, put the excess in another drawer that has room to spare and note it on the spreadsheet. Great tips - thanks for posting it!
Awesome!
Another advantage is if your garage gets broken into and stuff stolen you have an inventory for your insurance company.
On your sheet, do you do sizes? Dropdown list to pick the size? If so, how did you get a good list for the dropdown? How are you storing it? I am thinking I am breaking it out (thread, diameter, length, etc). Only issue with that then you need a column for each type of fasteners. It is a work in progress.
What about labeling the outside?
Excellent set up. It’s awesome how everything flows perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Damn , awesome 👍 very well done . Love the details & organization . You need to do Garage consultations ! Lol thx for sharing . 👍⚾️
Thank you very much. Good idea
That Kitchen cabinets w/ red paint & snap-on emblem really touch that up like a set of expensive Snap - on set. I'm putting that on my to do list, if you don't mind me copycat you. Cheers & Thanks for Showing.
Thanks. Ya for sure, I hope it works well for you like it has for me.
Very nice garage. Good to know a person doesn’t have to have a HUGE shop to get things done. I love the small work areas. I always think I need a huge work bench area to get things done, but you showed that you can get the same thing done in a smaller area. A person can only work in one area at a time, right?
Thanks 👍
Like the wire shelving and foam organizers. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the comment
I 5 you sunk my battle ship... I love the level of organization out of control. 5S for sure, i am sure you know it is a living ever changing orginism, you have to love the ride!
Thanks for the comment
My garage is twice as big as yours and i feel i don't have enough room for everything. but after seeing yours, it's really just me not utilizing the space as best as i can for the tools and stuff that i have. i really like the movable vice table. The drill press with bench grinder on wheels. Very creative and functional ideas.
It also seems we are into the same things, motorcycles, classic and muscle cars as well as the type of work we do. Again thanks for posting and i hope to duplicate some of these space keeping arrangements.
Thanks for watching and the nice comments!
Nice setup The Attention to detail is off the charts
Thank you very much!
I love this . . . incredibly, incredibly relaxing and so nice to see the small touches that make it great. (Snap-on emblem on the cabinets = great touch) :)
Thank you very much
This is so amazing!! As a micro organizer I really appreciate the detail! I'll be watching this again and again for inspiration and motivation
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Very nice setup, you have clearly put a lot of work into your setup. Nicely done!
Thank you
Very nice. We just moved to the country and had our garage/shop built next to the house. Now I get to start the organization process. I'll try to do some additional videos as I organize/build out the shop. You gave me some great ideas. One bit of constructive criticism. The thumbnail is you standing in front of your closed garage door. You might consider a thumbnail of you standing in front of one of the walls inside the shop. Kinda give viewers a preview of what they are going to watch... Just an idea. But great video.
Thanks for the tip and good luck with your garage,
Awesome setup & organization system . I ended up using a small plastic portable toolbox for my electrical tools because I regularly packed them up to use them outside of my garage.
Right on!
Just sent this to my husband. Best garage video I’ve ever seen.
Thank you very much!
What a very well organized garage. Thanks for the thorough tour.
Thank you.
@@at-atdesigns . Your most welcome
Amazing work. You should be very proud. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Great man. Pleasure getting the tour.
Thank you!
Awesome garage setup! I wish I'd seen this video before throwing out a chunk of old wire shelving. What tablet mount is that? Looks like it holds the iPad secure.
Yes itdoes
So, gardening/lawn maintenance equipment and Xmas decorations are stored elsewhere?? Kudos for being so organized and putting thought in caring for your tools, not just your projects.
How do you vacuum under the floor tiles?
Ya, I do vacuum floor tiles from the top. I guess one of these days I need to pull the, up to vacuum.
Awesome garage. I love how you lock up the bike right below where all the keys are hanging! 😀
Those are key to locks that no longer exist
@@at-atdesigns I figured it was something like that but it was still pretty funny. 😀
I too use magnetic labels for my drawers, one extra thing I do is that each magnetic label has a photo of either the drawers contents or a generic photo of they type. That way when I have a drawer that has multiple items the photo provides further detail of what is in there. Provides a neat visual addition to easily find things.
Wow, that’s cool
Enjoyed this video very much, in the process of organising my garage, if its a 1/4 the shape yours is in I'll be damn proud! Thank you for sharing 🚗🏍🛠🪛🔧🔩🗜
Thank you and good luck!
That is really amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Wow! Man, you really have it together. Kickass!!
Thank you!
Nice work space. I really love seeing studios where the work gets done!
Thanks!!
Your garage seems to be geared around automotive and bike accessories. Most family garages have bicycles, a lawnmower, edger, weed eater, wheelbarrow a garden hose, fold up lawn chairs, Christmas decorations, garbage cans. Where in your garage are these items stored?
I have a nice big shed
Wow!! Beautifully done! Love the way that you repurposed existing items, like your old kitchen cabinets. Made them look great! You said that you are a corvette guy, do you own one or have you previously owned any? Again, well done!
Thanks for the nice words. My roommate had a 78 vette I drove often and fell in love with. I later owned an 87.
So far Your garage organization was the most helpful. You have really great ideas.
Wow, thank you!
I love how well you utilized all the wall space.
Thank you
Thanks for going through this got some good ideas. I like the metal wire shelf wrench organizers, have those laying around anyways.
Thank you for the comment
Thank you for sharing. Very nice.👍👀
Thank you.
Great # and lettering System. I will definitely incorporate that into my shop. also i like the snap on look that you did, I'm also going to do that. i will however put all my cabinets on floor on wheels so i can wheel everything out of garage at any point when i need to . I actually probably will use pneumatic casters wheels since once i want to wheel stuff out of my garage its on uneven surfaces, dirt, grass gravel, concrete.
Thanks for sharing!
You’re a live version of Tony Stark!!! A real Iron Man!! I think my mouth was opened the entire video! What an inspiration! From Labels to the phone directory to ALEXA!!😮 what??? My respects! Your son is very blessed to have a dad like you! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Brilliant work. Some good ideas too. Concerting my garage soon. Don't have nearly as much as you do, but there is time hahahaha.
Thanks for the comment!
Great tour. Thankyou.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and thank you!
I was smiling like this is my garage 😊 soon my friends. Great work by a great man. Dude seems like an old friend, great work sir 👊🏾
FYI I build resto mods high level. Very expensive and a lot of space. I wish we were half as organized. Time saver
Thanks for the comment and the kind words.
Hi there, thank you for the tour of your garage. It's very organized and unique. I'm VERY interested in how you set up the "garage inventory" database in your phone. Could you possibly make a video further explaining how you did it and a more in depth look at how it works? Thank you.
Thanks for the idea!
Great video❣️ A ton of useful ideas & information. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
@@at-atdesigns Thank you. I'm going to buy some supplies today & duplicate as much of this as I can.
Hi! So awesome! Where did you get the blue plastic with clear storage drawers ?
In Canada we have places called Princess Auto. It’s similar to your Harbour Freight
Great organizational ideas. I wonder if you'd consider keeping your tie-down straps in your truck? I almost always use them when I'm picking up something from one of the "Big Box" stores and I'm too forgetful to have them stored in my shop.
Ya, I keep d some in there as well. Those ones are for around the garage or taking places.
Please come to Texas and let us pay you to renovate our garage! Lol. Kidding, Not kidding! 😅
That would be awesome, kidding not kidding!
At the start, I was like “ok…pretty basic stuff here.” By the end, Mind. Blown. Great job!
Thanks
Nice custom shelves/benches that you made for your line of bike/mechanical work. Pretty inspiring, although my tools would require a different layout. Definitely a lot of inspirational elements to your setup, though, and the video is much appreciated! Thumbs up! Great job of organizing your space for your work flow!
I also grew up a poor kid without much prospects for having a really cool GIGANTIC TOOL SHOP in which to work. I'm relegated to two thirds of a one space of a three car garage space. Everything else if for the wife and kids (family storage). My stuff is relegated to a tight tool space. Would love to be able to take advantage of more of it, but the wife and kids insist on having a space for other activity space and storage-- ah, well, you work with what you get.
Thank you very much!
This is pure genius. Great job organizing!
Thank you very much for the kind comment!
Very impressive. I'm in the process of redoing my garage. I love being organized it really saves time. 😊❤
Thank you
Very nice man, you’ve put a lot of thought into this!
Thank you kindly!
Thank-you for the video your garage is very nice and very well organized.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Thank You! I am goin to Lowes today to get some wire shelving for the pliers - vice grips drawer and some foam as I am still digging for the right wrench and the holders they come with are hard to use and not big enough for orphans that my dad used and I can't get rid of.
Thanks for the comment!
Best garage I’ve ever seen!! The dog is super cute too!
Thank you!!!
fliptop tool bench would be nice for the miter saw/chop saw. Then setup some sort of universal "dust" collection. Nice garage organization.
Ya, that’s possibility for sure. I do like having it 100% ready at all times with no setup at all
Cool! Love the “toolbox” cabinet idea.
Thank you
The drill press-grinder set up is brilliant!
Thank you very much!
18 minutes. It's very tidy. Could have been a hospital cart in a previous life. Those carts could be modified to makes some nice carts in a garage.
"Super low budget" but shows his multiple store bought storage cabinets and drawers at 6:50 and 15:25 and 19:40. The thing I liked was the stand at 18:06, with the drill press, grinder and accessories on a moveable platform, I might use that.
Thanks for the comment
You take organizing to a new level!❤
Thank you!
Awesome ideas. Love the phone inventory system.
Thank you!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much
Awsome job,and thanks for all the ideas its exactly what I need to do.
Thanks for the comment!
OMG! Thank you for posting this video. I have been wanting to organize my garage and for the life of me could not get any inspiration. Your video has motivated to take it on the challenge this winter. I am in MN USA. - What App are you using in your phone to organize your drawers? I will start there. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. I just used the "notes" app on the iPhone
@@at-atdesignswow, I’ve been searching the comments to see which app…. Notes! Lol I already use notes for everything. Do you create a garage folder with separate notes for each storage container(like a new page for one toolbox or one for each shelf?
Awesome!! Where did you get the blue organizers?
Princess Auto, which I think is a lot like Harbour Freight in the States.
Do you know the name of your flooring you mentioned was really inexpensive?
It looks like some sort of plastic.
Thanks for the video and love the labels on magnets idea!
It is just a snap together plastic tile from Home Depot
For me it's always about the cost of the containers to hold the things that I'm trying to give a home. haha. Organization can get pricey but I love your ideas of organizing within the tool drawers.
Thanks
Very nice good to see your wife is highly trained not to dump crap in it
Lol!
I'm impressed with the organization but even MORE impressed with the cleanliness! I cut ONE piece of wood and the whole garage is a mess!!! Is your dust management that effective or do you just not do much woodworking?
My saw does a good job keeping dust contained. If I am doing big stuff I will cut it outside.
Nice work shop/garage. Well organized.
Thank-you
Wow! Really nice!
I think I saw a fire extinguisher by your sliding miter saw. I would say you might need one or two more fire extinguishers in a conspicuous location, especially if your son is going to be working in there in the future. There's also a product called the Elide Fire Ball that you can mount over areas that you think might catch on fire like in an area where you have batteries. I would have liked to know how you manage all your electrical cords. I have a lot of multi-outlet surge protectors but I still don't have enough plug-ins. I also had a whole house surge suppressor installed at my circuit box. I put a smoke detector in my garage, but if you're welding, maybe you don't want one. I bought a First Alert 10-Year Battery-operated Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Detector and I have smoke detector listening device (part of a security system called Abode) next to it. In the future I might just use a battery operated Nest Smoke detector. I also have an outdoor hose on a reel that can reach all the way into the garage (in case of fire), but it probably wouldn't help me in the winter because I disconnect the hose and put a cover over the faucet.
Another thing I've wanted in my garage is a suction fan that vents to the outside for soldering.
I also have a system called Abode that does home security and home automation. I put a door sensor on a hinge and attached it to my garage door so it will notify me if it's left open for too long, or is still open in the evening around the time I go to bed.
I've thought about insulating my garage door with fiberglass bats. Also on my wish list are these special garage door tracks (Thermotraks) that are designed to push your door up against the wall to help it seal.
Lately I've been thinking of eyewash stuff. I bought a few devices from Amazon like an "eye wash cup" and a "Eye Wash Cleaner Kit Manual Air Pressure Eye Cleaning Cup Tool". I've been meaning to build one of these out of PVC. www.survivalkit.com/blog/how-to-build-an-emergency-eye-wash-attachment/

love the red painted cabinets , very clever. id like to see more about the motorcycle with the 16 on front and fabricated {?} front end !
It is a custom Yamaha bolt.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos can you please do a toolboxes tours watching from South Africa
Thank you and sure!
I like it bud.
I can see you worked your tail off on the design and implementation. Great job!
I relate to “saving everything”
I have everything a guy needs but when I need it, it’s often MIA.
Sure is a catch 22.
Thanks for the comment
How many 10 mm sockets do you own? They seem to disappear.
The Tim Allen TOOLTIME starter garage. Good on you.
Lol
Amazing! Love it! 💚💚💚
Thank you
How do you keep your garage warm? The freezing cold has so far stopped me from using metal cabinets and shelving. It's about impossible to be out there working on the clutter or using tools in the colder months. Is it heated and insulated? Love your video.
Hello, thanks for the comment. My garage is 1/2 underground and also attached r]to my house. All the heat list from my house goes into the garage. On 40 below days I have a little space heater.
i just came across this vid... instead of locking up your bike / things, why not just put a perimeter alarm (many options, ie invisible fence, motion detection, ...) outside and a cam inside? worked for me like a charm. could even tie that into a garage door opener / closer and if triggered then blast a siren and auto-closes the garage door. so many options.
Thanks, great advice
Great looking garage set up!
Thanks!
Well done, love the reference system
Thank you!
Hmmm...a few good ideas...thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love it!!!!!!!!
Thanks
INCREDIBLE!!
Thank you
That self made car spot is genius
I'm doing that one for sure
Awesome!
THAT FAKE SNAPON HAD ME FOOLED
Ya, I thought it would be fun to make them look like a big toolbox
