Organizating the new workshop New Toolbox, Shelving, and Tool Organization
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Today I am finally going to get the new work shop organized. All my tools are strung through out pole barn and hard to find. So I have a new toolbox store my tools. And I got toolbox organizers for wrenches, pliers, and sockets to keep the toolbox nice and neat. Then we have some new shelving to assemble, and I will use them to store everything else. The garage will be less cluttered after today.

Great idea on the shelving
Hey Evan me & my 91 yr old dad enjoy watching your channel when I turn your channel on dad says there’s hey guy’s cause that’s usually your intro. I bought a us .general tool box from harbor freight they have some good accessories if you want a glove magnetic box they have in black
yep my dude swears to get organized too, but he literally has 3 or 4 of every tool & accessory so im not expecting miracles. I lovingly refer to his ever growing mess as the "spread" for obvious reasons. anyway thnx for sharing your "spread" with us.
Everything has a place.
Everything in it's place.
Nice...
I suggest white plastic 4 x 8 foot sheets of material to cover the foam on the walls. It has a pebbled surface and is held onto the wall with white plastic rivets. It’s used in 7-11 bathrooms, among other areas. Easy to clean and helps with the light levels.
That is a shop! With the exception of your dogs, there will very likely never be barnyard animals housed in it. Call it a shop, maybe a pole shed, but it is much more than a pole barn. Very nice and will be well worth it over the long haul.
Evan - love you guys - favourite tube with Kris Harbour... 8o)
Well if you can't be organized in this pole barn YOU CAN'T BE ORGANIZED. Awesome video who doesn't like to see things organized
The next level would be to invest in a labeler then label the totes on the shelves. That way you don't have to rely on memory where everything is located. Great first step
Oh my! My OCD kicked in watching you organize your tool cart. LOL. I'm not judging, it's just not the way I would do it. Great job on your tool box!
Get yourself some dollies, and use them beneath your bottom shelf. It makes getting in there so much easier.
You filled that shelf unit up pretty quick
Maybe a sponsor will see this a send you some more tool boxes and more tools
Like the organization is a good thing .
My best friend used to invite his wife down to the shop about once month during our nightly BS sessions. Mysteriously the next morning all his tools and such would be where they went, all our empty beer cans would be bagged up, and the floor would be swept up .
I miss those days .....RIP Country , you're missed every second of every day
Don't throw away big cardboard. Can put and work under trackers in case of oil leak
That's a good Idea. I wish I would have known that earlier. I changed oil in the tractor the next day.
Also good use for planting around shrubs or trees, help keep down weeds paired with mulch. If no mulch, then use compost on top of it :)
@@CountryViewAcres check with local appliance stores, a few refrigerator boxes tucked behind the edge of your shelving unit will help keep the oil off your shop floor. Another suggestion epoxy the floor with "stone coat floor epoxy " from stone coat countertop channel on UA-cam. They are the best, easiest to apply, most durable, and cheapest for the quality of their products. Makes clean up & messes so much easier to deal with. A friend owns an auto repair garage & put it down in his new shop. Says it was the best thing he spent his money on.
organization is KEY, I often spent much more time preparing for work than the work itself, which is frustrating.
Hi.... Evan nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐖🐐🐄🌱🌺🌹🌷🍀🏡🎥👍👍👍
If you include clean up as part of the job the job is not done until you have cleaned up. Cleanup is part of the job is not a job by itself. It's a change in mindset it makes all the difference👍👍💖
Agree with you totally. So nice to start "with a clean slate" on the next job.
Well thanks for showing the flaws in these boxes.
Instead of buying the expensive drawer liners buy shelf liner on a roll in the home goods dept at the store. Its where the plastic dish drainers are. Saves scratching the inside of the drawers.
Hi Evan👋🏻 lookin good
I would attach a 4x8 sheet od plywood to the wall and put your bolt bins on that, or on shelving you attach to the studs. We have one drawer for pliers and wire tools, one for wrenches and sets, one for hammers, one for sockets in their boxes.the lighter stuff goes in the upper drawers and heavier stuff in lower. Love your shelving system! We keep all our power(corded) tools in Their cases on them. Wish we had your square feet. If you can imagine all your tools and put them in a 16x32 area. Thats our shop, with a table for a metal lathe, wooden workbench and all our stationary tools ranged in three rows, with wheels so we can move them as needed.
1 ton of stuff, 3 tones of packing!!
Alright nut, get out the labeled for the shelves,and drawers duplicate tool kits for tractors, and livestock shed that would help you use up some of your access.
Oh bucket organizers are great .
Really nice Evan, let the fun begin.
I really like these type of videos..I like organization..nice job..
It all looks good. Easy to find things nice clean work space. 😎
Looks like you had fun setting things up. That's always good.
Move the batteries from the toolbox top. Buy/build a battery station.
Once the walls are finished, it will have a battery station but until then, the top of the toolbox will work.
Nice shelves and right set up.
Looks good, now we just have to learn to keep it that way. lol Good Luck.
Organazation is the to a sugessfull to a farm
Make a storage racks for toolbox it will save space under window
I have the very same shelf system you have. The manufacturer does not mention it, but I do--anchor those shelves to the wall. Couple of screws near the top can save your life when things start to topple. I live in an earthquake zone (PNW) and so do you--the New Madrid Fault is less than 200 miles from you. But even without earthquake risk, shelves that high can topple when you are pulling a heavy tote off an upper level.
You could put your punches in that small magnetic tray that wouldn't hold up anything. Put it in a drawer to hold small things in place.
I really like when you talk and work at the same time. Mic up and do the same for exterior wok. Makes a much more interesting video.
I love my toolboxes but I’m a real fan of the metal wallboards…It’s so nice seeing your tools when you look up on your walls.
I agree completely , much quicker on the wall frees up tool box space.
Should have saved the big pieces of cardboard. Saves your concrete when you do oil changes. As usual great video.👍
Someone else mentioned that. And it is a great idea. I wish I knew that earlier. I changed oil in the tractor the next day and spilled oil everywhere.
...LOOKIN' GOOD, NICE JOB, KEEP SAFE...
You could put your Christmas Tree/ seasonal decorations on the top shelves, to keep your basement less cluttered.
I don't recall Evan or Rebecca saying their basement was cluttered.
I love how your farm is coming along.
Very well done
Only took me 75 years to work out that that is the way to go
now you need to build a sturdy 8 foot long work bench with 4x4 corners and find another place for those chargers so you can roll the tool box to where you are doing work.
Great ideal Evan !!
Now that you're done, come to my house!
for your latex gloves harbor freight makes a magnetic glove holder that fits the boxes perfectly. Its been a life saver for me...
Yea, I had looked at those. I but I ended up buying this set of four. I may still buy a glove box holder.
Looks good Evan!
Ahhh... the ole evil organization bug has bit ya? Kudos Evan. I left my toolbox on the tractor forks to install the casters. Happy organizing!
AWESOME VIDEO
You can force that glove box into that shelf. When in doubt, use force!
Tool box tip
Big heavy on bottom
Smaller tools in small drawers
Common used tools up top
Most used in the roll around
Looks very good, good job.
I'd hang on to those big pieces of cardboard, good to lay on or use to catch drips when changing oil to keep the mess off the concrete. I find all kind of stuff to use it for or if I do chunk it, I wind up wishing I wouldn't have...
I'm the same way with my tools just a big mess I know what you're talking about I like watching your videos doesn't matter what you do special when you cutting or baling hay
Nice tractor seams similar to the LS brand
Those bucket organizers are a neat product. Thanks for the tip.
I have four of the Gladiator steel shelving units in my garage and I love them. They will hold 2,000 pounds on each shelf and that is a lot. I put a 1/2 inch board on the top of the wire mesh and cut them to fit and that adds even more strength to the shelving and you can put paint cans, motor oil containers, and other cans or bottles of fluids that you use. The garage is looking good.
Have that same Husky box. It’s ok. Switch a couple of years ago to HF. Been loving the Harbor Freight US General 30” 5 drawer carts. Their attachments fit everything and hold. And they are solid built. And better colors!
Evan when you get done there come help get me lined out 👍
Thank you for sharing.
I have the similar setup in Snap On ( Just personal preference ) I have the top and bottom box as well as another large roll around tool box, but I do allot more machining, truck and equipment maintenance and fabricating but you will love that setup for sure
I’m quite the opposite I organize anything I can’t find anything lol 😂
As long as you find everything that you need...😉
Thank you very much for the video! 😊👍🏻
I've been out of commission do to fractured shoulder and both my basement woodworking shop and my metal building are a disaster right now anytime you want to come by and help is good with me
Your farm is getting more functional every day. I love this video just to watch the organizing!
Good thinking on the shelves. And good advice about the drawer depth.
Very nice setup! In my days working in Naval Aviation our tools were extremely organized and every tool had to be accounted for multiple times per day. It was a nice system and everything had it's place. Unfortunately, I am lazy and my personal shop isn't very organized. I would like to take a day and do similar to what you did.
My brother was an avionics tech in the Air Force 40 some years ago and he still works that way. Never has to look for his tools---as long as he works by himself.
You will be redesigning this in no time.
On the small trey that doesn't work, take the magnets off and use them elsewhere. Like to hold tape measure end or paperwork, etc.
Good goals & good job doing it. You and Rebecca are blessed. Where you are didn't come easily. Looking forward to seeing y'all continue to grow your farm & your future.
☝️🙏🙌💪🇺🇸👉...
Always nice to be organized! Very nice tool box's and shelves!
Just like any job you need to be organized. I can't function if I can't find what I need to do the job.
I have automotive, electrical, wood, metal, fencing and everyday odd items.
I like them separated so it's easier to find what I'm looking for, depending on the project of the day.
A friend of mine also made a shelf for all his battery chargers and mounted it to the wall so his work bench was not covered with cables and batteries. He also put up peg board, painted them white, to hand hand saws, loppers, pipe wrenches. He out lined the item and painted it black. So, if something was missing or if someone else was putting tools away they could see right where they were suppose to be hung up. He also installed a triple electrical plug that pulled down from the ceiling which makes it great for keeping cords off the floor & not tripping over them. And his air hose is close to the front beside his compressor on a reel that makes it easy to use just outside the shop door to blow off the lawnmower deck & pulley area or pumping up on of the kids bike tires. Just in case he had a project going on the floor in the shop he didn't have to drag the hose thru his work area to handle these small jobs.
I would love to have a nice workshop, enjoy.
Looks great! My OCD wants you to peel the stickers off the totes.
Looks nice! Getting it together! Anxious to see the kitchen
Good video I have bought rolls rubber drawer liner at the dollar store pretty reasonable
Nice job. Now to remember where everything is 😂
Label maker, label the drawers. The hardest part of getting organized is remembering a new set up where everything is.
Once lumber prices come down(hopefully) you can build wall organization for your hand tools, both battery operated and electric. This will save you drawer space. Ask This Old House and Lumnah Acres sites have some great ideas on these!
Hey great video Evan, always enjoy them. A small video idea, something random, perhaps a breakdown of your 41 acres and the land distribution between pasture, fields, ponds, grass that is mowed, orchard, etc. i think people getting into farming would find it helpful when looking at properties, and you can be sure to document the distribution now and see the change in a few years/decades. Cheers!
Love all the organization...that was one of the things I did back in my younger years. I kept the tools clean and organized. It is so important when you are working on something to be able to put your hand on the tool you need at any time. Thanks for sharing this video. Love how the pole barn is shaping up. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Is there any way that you can get those battery chargers off the toolbox top? Can they attach to that post or you could build a small shelf. Just a suggestion. I think it all looks good. I love the shelving units😊❤️
Good morning Evan, it’s looking better. Coming right along. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
I like the way you did the shelving, why I didn't think of that myself
So I decided to move all my tubs and change the way I did them to eliminate bottom shelves too.
Did you get the shelves at Home Depot?
This is the shelves I bought.

Good job 👍
Having a place for your tools is a must being organized improves your projects by 1000% the barn is looking nice looking forward to seeing many projects inside the barn with an organize shop congratulations Stacy
Nice shelves. surprising just how fast they fill up though. I now have about 6 in my basement against one long wall. All full of our "treasures". (stuff that probably needs pitched). The other useful thing to add to a garage is those wall mounted railings that allow you to do all kinds of versatile stuff like mount anything from a shelf to double hooks to hang bikes or your pole saw, etc. I can see one being used beside your new work bench to put a shelf on for your chargers so you don't have to move them when you want to wheel your new tool box somewhere.
Nice setup…. A video building some nice long workbenches on the woodworking side would be fun to watch too… (When the price of wood isn’t astronomical of course)
I do plan on building benches in the wood working shop.
Looking really great Evan
I have the same large tool roll around box. Mine has outlets on the side as well as USB ports. I like it but have the same problems with the small drawers.
I WAS GONNA SAY GET SOME PALLET SHELVES, LOL, HAPPY FOR YA BROTHER, THATS GONNA BE A N AWESOME SHOP
You always came across as a very organised person to me!
I can edit out all the time wasted looking for tools and parts. So I might appear to be organized but I am not.
@@CountryViewAcres 😂😂😂
Battery chargers can take up alot of bench space.
DO THIS-Hang a piece of plywood on the wall near
an outlet & screw your chargers to the plywood. You
will probably need a power strip.
!
Those shelves are very nice, I am going to check around my area to see if I can find similar ones, seems to be extremely handy and easy to set up!
thx
Evan I'd suggest a pegboard on the wall for wrenches and screwdrivers, much quicker and convenient! Have you ever wondered why people pay $1000's of dollars for tool boxes like Snap On? Foolish!
Things are looking good! I will say I think you are going to need way more bench space for general use. I would build a 12' bench along a wall with a shelf underneath. Good place to mount a vise and really have a proper work surface. What are the plans for the interior walls? Ceiling? Heat?
Eventually I will put metal on the walls and ceiling. But the wood working half of the barn will be first.
Looking good! I need to do some organizing in my shop. That was a good idea on the shelves making three out of two units. Keep up the good work!
