I started working on a new Workshop Storage System. First step: making foam inlets for all the little bits and bobs. I used my Stepcraft q204 and my Shaper origin to cut the inlets

Tool storage is SO important to a good workflow. Specially in a small space. This is fascinating!
Man, I have had this project on my list for literally years! So cool, definitely want to try this.
Nice! Give it a go-it’s super addictive :) I think you might like the colorcode!
Organisation is the best!!! I usually cut my foam inlays by hand but seeing these is just so satisfying; they are so much cleaner
Laura, your work is always so mesmerizingly precise and perfect. You are a true gem and an absolute inspiration to all of us handy-folks out there! Thank you for making these videos and being so transparent about the whole process.
Love the idea with the Euro bins. I use them as well and it's a great idea to build a whole system around them. See you soon!
I love the shop storage and the talking video. Great to mix it up every now and then.
Yes, yes, yes! I'd love to learn how you're organizing your shop. It's always interesting to me the different organizational methods people have. I'm looking forward to this!
Very cool, the blue has a great contrast for seeing the small bits!
Organisation of all our "stuff" is such a big one for possibly most of us. Love how you were able to freehand the more complex shapes with the Shaper Origin. Cheers, David
Love it! You have so many Leatherman multi-tools!
Admittedly, I hadn't watched your videos in a couple of months. Now I watch this and I'm utterly impressed with the production, editing and communication quality. Cheers Laura!
I like this type of video. It's still showing your old style, which is just music and you working in timelapse. And you added it with a narrative and explanation.
Great work, it's one of these projects that you soemtimes don't know where to start and you get overwhelmed with the number of tools and how best to lay them out. Each peice you do makes the pile of tools smaller.
Next level knolling, I love it! When I move into a space I am totally going something like this.
I love that you name your machines/tools. It shows that you develop a relationship with them, and act as a steward for them. You're a 'thing parent'!! ;-)
I know you've got mad skills. But I LOVE how creative you are. You think of things, I'd never be able to think of.
Fabulous idea, the sort of solution I need to build to avoid being vexed to nightmare when I can't find stuff which is often! Thanks for sharing!
very good explanation and use of the CNC machine (LuLu) versus Shaper (him).
Your leatherman collection is insane
That bit makes beautiful cuts in foam!
Something you could give a try is to lay white paper down onto your foam blocks. Ontop you lay down your tools. Using a camera mounted above the foam you take an aerial view of it. Covert it into black and white with high contrast so that your tools are 100% black against the white background.
you can then convert that into an svg, scale it as necessary and throw it into a cad program like fusion.
That way you can quickly and easily create cutting paths for Lulu.
Thank you for your perfect timing Laura - I'm trying to work out storage for my shop as well. I've been going with custom French cleat holders, but making each takes a lot of time & thought, and once you've made them they're easy to move, but a pain to revise. Looking forward to your organization system for consideration.
One suggestion - for things you use *all the time* - think phillips/standard screwdrivers, pencils/sharpies, tape measures, basic squares, etc., consider making multiple copies of a flexible multi-holder and place them everywhere you tend to stand or sit doing work. It's nice to know where you stored a 100 pencils, not nice when you need to make a quick mark and all 100 are neatly organized clear across the shop. Carry on & nice work!
Shop organization projects are always useful and fun to watch.
It's so neat, tidy and colourful! I really love what you've done. 😊
Your shop is my dream! And you can never have too many tools! Love the foam idea!
Love it! You’re storage has always been next level. I aspire to be as organized as you and to have it look as pretty. Keep it up, can’t wait to see more.
once again it's a pleasure to watch your videos : subject is a common issue for all manual performers! thanx!!
hi just some tips on working with this foam, i work with it in my full time job, you can blow it over with a hot air gun and it will give it a clean look and help hide the cut marks and remove the small hairs from the cut, it can be heat welded with a hot air gun and the foam is know as LD45 ( plastazote ) the number is the foam density, you can get it almost any color you want can buy it in sheets 1000mm x 2000mm and from 1mm to 100mm thick. i happy to help if anyone needs anymore info and sorry it the grammar is bad or spelling i struggle with dyslexia. keep up the work Laura, hi form England :)
on second thoughts i might make a video on working with this foam as i feel this info need to be share with the makers of the world as i see a lot of people working with foam and i picked up one or two trick i think will help a lot of makers. :)
Great infos! Thanks!!
@@wolfgrim That video would be amazing! I work with this foam in another hobby so thanks for the tips about the hot air gun!
@@wolfgrim Yes please!
wolf grim what kind of foam do I source if cutting drawer organizers for tool shadowing on a CNC?
Love it. Can't wait to see it all in use.
It's a game changer, I will do exactly the same in my shop ! Thank you so much !
I'm in love with your Leatherman collection! Keep up the good work!
Personally not crazy about the crate idea, but LOVE the foam for organizing. Definitely going to put my CNC to work making some cutouts for my existing storage systems. Thank you!
Hi Laura, That looks very nice. I have been using these (EURO 60x40x40/20/12) crates for like forever. Bought them second hand for around 4 euro per piece. It are closed types which are usually used for dough. It started with 20, then 50, now more than 200. Foam inserts are too expensive for me so I have been using HARIBO candy boxes with lids. Great at keeping dust out too. I get them from a local supermarket for free. Then I made a racks everywhere and named the rows A B C D E F G H I J and columns 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 .... infinite. I made a big EXCEL SHEET on my wall and wrote down what's where. For example A7= router and bits / C12= wood glue. Infinitely expandable just like you said. My work is mostly outdoors, the haribo boxes keep rain out too. I do have 1 set of Tanos systainers because YEAH SYSTAINER, for packing my gear when going to work outside so I don't carry lump weight with me. Don't need the complete crate contents all the time. So when specific crates are in use, I have a small carrier on wheels for 6 crates which I call the buffer carrier. Whenever I use a crate or am using it, I don't put it back untill it's filled up again with what it was made for. This way I don't lose stuff. The color coding is a great idea too, but all my crates are yellow :-p. I have been thinking about spray painting the facade some day....but you know... tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow .... 5 years later... and the numbers have become my standard. For example: I know know number 1 is screws and drivers, number 2 is nails and hammers, ... The name tags on the boxes are swappable, but when I need smth I don't have to read sooo many labels shattered all over the place, I just look at that 1 excel sheet on the wall. I hope maybe you or some other reader can use this information and sort out it's organizing troubles.
I love the idea of the "milk" crates!!! Please keep posting more vids of the progress of your storage.
Brilliant idea, excellent job done, thanks for sharing Laura👍
That looks quite satisfying resting each tool in its profile. I’ve done a few drawer inserts, similar to your foam storage, on my large vacuform. One day I’ll get a CNC.
Brilliant work Laura!
It is nice to hear you talk, you speak English better than many who English is their only language. This is a good design using the cutouts to remind you where things go when they are not being used. Your videos are always framed so well and the editing is top-notch. Looking forward to the next videos, keep broadcasting!!
I love your videos and enjoy your use of color. I think most people forget that color coding is another available tool for them
Thank you Lady Laura. Respect your effort.
Your channel and your work are just incredible. Thank you
I LOVE this, and struggle with the exact same problem. And while I love Adam, your organization system is definitely more what I hope to have someday!
Thanks :)
I can only dream of having a workshop as nice and organised as yours! Great work, great tips, and great editing! Thanks Laura!
And as large and as high.
Organisation shouldn’t be that problem, it just means YOU have 2 be organized ;o).
It took me 2 long months (from February to January) 2 creat a daily routine being tidy …
@@andreasschrader6925 Not to be picky, but February to January, isn't that pretty much a year and not two months!? :D Had to. Sorry.

Did you ever hear the word irony aka black humor ?
Just in time for some help with my bicycle tool and small parts storage. I'll be watching this series for sure.
I could listen to you and Adam Savage talk about storage solutions for hours.
Thanks for this video. Came out really great!
Loved your energy in this video!
This looks so satisfying, especially the crate for the spray paint 😍
Great ideas. Maybe a few light bulbs are coming on for me with some of my organization challenges. Looking forward to the next video.
Laura! It's true! You can never have too many sharpies, or in too many colors!! 👍👍
great system. i know the feeli g so many tools. i found that a whole bunch of filing cabinets work well too.
Impressive approach to an age old challenge
I like the simple box setup with intricate inserts
Good on ya
Nicely Done!! Thanks for scratching my compulsive itch for the day! I have a small shop that serves 4 functions possibly a fifth down the road so, I am always looking for new ways to store and organize my wide variety of tools and consumables according to task. I've had good luck with Kaizen Foam from Fast Cap over the years. I don't have CNC capability and the Kaizen foam is easy to cut and peel with a good razor knife. Thanks for another great video.
That's awesome! I really need to buy some two-colored foam now...
Awesome stuff Laura! 👍🏻👊🏻 ..... I love organization, so I'm definitely looking forward to more! 😃
This is the struggle!! I love this video, keep making more cuz I want to see this system and hopefully I can take some ideas from it.
Refreshing video. Thank you for being so candid!
Thank you Laura for taking the time to like my comment. I really appreciate it!
What a marvelous organizing idea!! Wonderful. A+ young lady.
Very impressed. Always used those crates but you gave it a new twist, I especially like the Spray can crate.Looking forward to next storage videos.Well done.By the way like the hair 😊
Great system Laura ! Danke for sharing !
Really like the shot of the spray paint cans!
These foam inserts are OCD heaven 😂👍 I‘m so gonna copy that for my eurocrates!
You can also order KLT "Kleinladungsträger" that are solid and not baskets. Same stackable sizes (60x40, 40x30, 30x20, 20x15)
5:42 You know that you are a fangirl when you can fill a milkcrate with Leathermans
Or companies send you free stuff, like CNC Machines and leatherman's.
I'm surprised she had two leatherman MUT's. Those are primarily designed for maintaining M4 rifles.
We're a fan of Laura too :)
Great idea. The system looks so good too.
you are amazing love this idea ! You can tell with your smile as you talk how you are having fun doing it !!!!
I love that blue and black foam!
Simple concept .....BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!
I had the great pleasure of meeting you at Makers Central where you described this to me, I was excited then and I’m even more impressed now! Brilliant - clever, functional and attractive too.
Glad you like it!
During my day job I have foam cut out because its important for me not to misplace a tool for safety reasons. But in my home workshop I like to keep all my tools visible. Different colour tools and boxes help you remember where stuff is. Look forward to hearing you colour sorting methodology.
Great build as always young lady.
I like it. It looks so clean.
This system ROCKS.....Keep the videos coming
Totally awesome idea, Laura. Looks great! This has given me ideas about my own shop. Danke!
Awesome!!! really looking forward to implement this system in my shop
Wow! This is really useful tip! Thanks for sharing!
Your looking great Laura , more good ideas , just keep on going.
You are an amazing creator! Thanks for sharing!
love this project, keep it going
I am absolutely loving this. I'm a little jealous of your wide euro crates, the square milk crates here in Canada are nice, but restrictive in that sense (though they are deep enough for spray paint cans)
Can't wait for the next one!
Wow so many sharpies and multi/pocket tools
Love your work!
Brilliant idea. Can only assume you will use this idea with the tool cart from the last video. And I can totally understand using a colour scheme for sorting storage. It all sounds good to me.
😄👍
So organised! If only I had your discipline, thanks for sharing :)
Best system i m ever seen. Respect
Finally another Laura Kampf video ♥️
Awesome video as usual. I'm new to making and learn so much from you and your method/thinking. Thanks for creating such great content. I'm really interested in getting a Shaper as I don't have room for a CNC. You are a inspiration.
Brilliant idea Laura!!!
Great job Laura! Very nice!
The more videos I see with foam the more I think I need to get some. And I am all about shop storage and organization - it’s a tool of the devil even when you work alone.
Interesting Lulu "can run by herself" Shaper is a he and needs hand holding.. love it!
For the screwdrivers, perhaps make circular holes to allow them to stand up so you can see the ends. Easy to grab the right size and length since long ones stand higher etc. Nice system
Great solution!
"Lulu" ist an awesome Name, thank you for making me smile. 😁
isegrim1978 We have...one of our dogs is called Lulu. 🤘🏾
Wow! Awesome ideia! 💡
This is SO satisfying ! I'm always struggling with organisation but i love do to that, and even helping my friends in their lab. I want to be the "Mary Kondo" for Workshop 😂
Great System Laura!
Lulu... that’s a name for a tool!! Nice
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I think that you should get more Leathermans, you don't seem to have enough. ;)
I only have three now. I've lost or more of them than I currently own.
Love the multitool insert =) Someone likes their Leathersmans ;-) 5:43
