Show Us Your Hand Tool Organizers

[Brian Holcombe]

I have buckets full of sockets and other auto tools that are now under our bed in my closet in the coat closet and in other locations lol I'm running out of places to hide them I'm going to need a garage soon.

I posted my saw till anyone who seen the picture my disagree lol I may host it externally if I get the chance

Alright, now I'm starting to understand your fiancé's concern.

Where will the woodworking tools end up? Mind you, it's dangerous to leave sharp objects in the bedroom.

This is true I started to re priorities my stuff like getting rid of clothing that doesn't fit anymore, and cleaned out most of the car parts I had sitting around wood working will fill that void soon if I keep my alarming rate.

Funny enough my predominate hobby in my early 20's was building cars. Woodworking is much more enjoyable in the long run, and provides many more things to look at around the house (tables, chairs and cabinets.)

Hmm, mine too. I wonder if we have a pattern?

Amusing side story, my eccentric father moved into an old grocery store for a while i was in my early 20's. It was huge, and he liked hot rods too, so we found most of an old 60's front engine nitro dragster, and put it in one of the rooms. Obviously there were no women involved in that decision, but it made a heck of a conversation piece. Max's fiancee has serious grounds for concern...

[Brian Holcombe]

That's awesome. I imagine an old grocery store to be pretty much ideal for a hot-rodder. Might be just as ideal for a woodworker….

This is a picture of my hand tool area just after I finished remodeling it. I have changed it considerably now, I have a lot of tools on the wall around the cabinets. I need to clean it up this summer and take a new pic. Various projects in process right now, none of them involving much in the way of hand tools. I did not work in the shop this winter, am about to get started again.

This is a link to the write up on my tool box at Woodcentral. Toolbox.

I am bipolar and when manic don't sleep much and tend to fixate on a project. I did all of this before being diagnosed bipolar and being put on medication. I think I was in various stages of mania while working on it. I am glad I did it, I just don't have the energy to do it again.

That's a nice looking shop you have there. How do you have your post vise mounted? I have one sitting in the corner of my shop that I'm still trying to figure out where to put.

My post vice included a bracket to attach to the bench top. It slides up and down the post with a flat piece at 90° to the post; all I had to do was install lag bolts. I drilled a hole in a wood board and inserted the bottom of the post into the board. It just sets on the floor and can move but tends to stay put. My wife says the post vice makes the best nut cracker. At least she isn't using my bench vice for nuts.

especially if SWMBO is entertaining disapproving thoughts regarding your gallootish activities....

You have the MY in the wrong place.

The *real* "At least" is that "she isn't using the vice for MY nuts!"

What is the yellow shroud behind your miter saw?

[Sean Hughto]

Dust collection. The four inch hose coming out the bottom connects to the dust collector. Gets a lot, but not every bit.

[Joe Tilson]

Sean, how many years did it take to get where your shop is today? I have just started my third revamp.
