The Smallest Workshop in the World

Step 13: Tool Storage Cabinet

A simplify idea from the WOOD Special magazine. Its dimension are W32XH32XD13 inches and is a very cleaver idea to have lots of storage in a tiny space, about 7 square feet of wall area will give you about 26 square feet of storage space.

At the bottom of the cabinet there are 7 removable screw bins (2 divited in half) which holds most of the common screws I need. Bins are made out of 3/4" plywood and 1/4" MDF.

Made of 3/4 plywood it rolls on 4 casters so that its mobile and I can roll it out to the open if needed. The only trick here is to organize it correct - plan it on paper before putting up the tools on the wooden surface. I think it’s one of the best storage ideas I have ever seen.

Basically that’s about it... The Smallest Workshop in the World!

 

With lots of patience and love you can build almost any project you want even if it looks impossible.

I wish the pictures got bigger when you clicked on them or there where instructions on the things you used for hanging your tools on the doors, but for now the inspiration is enough. Thanks! :-)

[steliart]

Thank you, but is not originally my idea, it is just a modified version of the original idea :)

[deanorbs]

This is really a great idea for a storage cabinet!

[Harvard82]

Excellent!!!! It's one of the greatest Instructables I've seen so far. My workbench construction starts tomorrow, but there's no way it will be as nice as yours.

You humble me, bud. The amazing things you do with so little. You are an inspiration. One thing is for sure, one day you will make some woman a very, very happy wife. If I had it to do over again, I would have made more things for my wife. The funny thing is, I have lots of lovely tools now, but I built far more things back when I had very little. You've done some amazing work with so little. Your setup is inspiring. Hopefully one day you'll have a nice, big shop of your own, until then keep doing the wonderful things you are.

Thanks Dallas, Actually I am married and not as young as you may think. It's true that the less we have the more resourceful we become. For me this project was more of a challenge to show that you can still do many things even with hand full of power tools. How good you are going to make them, well that's a matter of skill. Thank you for visiting

Thanks

I will never complain about enough space ever again.

[steliart]

No,
Do complain about it to your self so that you try to give more space to (organize) your workshop but in the same area.
That's what I did

I really like this storage cabinet!  Nice work I think I need to do the same and not spend $800 on a craftsman or something similar.   I like most the double doors so all your tools are so accessible and its on castors.   I think a 5X5 work station in my gargage might actually allow me to park my car in it again. Thanks for sharing!
