I made this holder similar to a shelf with notches in it. All of the holes drilled in the top of the shelf match the base profile around the handle so they all rest securely. My original plan was to just have holes in it to lift the screwdrivers out of.
After further thought, I didn't like that idea because it would mean I would need empty space above the holder to allow for the screwdrivers to be removed. Using the band saw, I cut notches from the front of the holder to each side of the hole large enough to let the screwdrivers pass through. This holder is made in the exact same fashion as the screwdriver holder. Though this one was much simpler as the handle profile is the exact same conical shape for all the nut drivers.
I really liked the idea of being able to see the size of each chisel while in the holder. This was made by laying out each chisel evenly and marking the width of each. Using a flat tooth blade on the table saw, cut dados that fit the size of each chisel. Cut a piece of Plexiglas the size of the holder and clamp in place. Drill the first few holes through the Plexiglas into the wood and secure with pan head screws. Repeat this process with the other half. Mount a back piece of wood to allow you a place to secure the holder to your tool wall.
These hand plane holders are inspired by Matthias Wandel. Start with a piece of scrap wood the width of your plane and a few inches longer on each side. Cut a small channel in the base for clearance of your blade. On another piece, draw out the profile of the heel of the plane and cut it out on the band saw. Glue that piece in place. I forgot to take pictures of this part, but find another piece of scrap wood the thickness of your plane and glue that to the top.
Cut a "fork" out of another piece of scrap that fits around the front knob and glue in place. Glue edges on each side of the holder to help guide the plane in place when inserting in the holder.
I didn't want to make a tiny holder for my smallest plane, so a magnet held in with epoxy in the top of one of the plane holders is enough to secure this small plane in place.
This is a very simple holder utilizing dowels at an angle to secure my sets of metric and SAE combination wrenches. Once evenly spaced, the holes were drilled just above center using a drill press.
The dowels were then glued in place. This shelf was made to hold my combination, try, and set of machinist squares. A hole was later drilled to hold my scratch awl. The shelf has ledges on each side to hold the squares from falling off.
A slot was cut where the squares were positioned centered to each other. This is a simple shelf with a ledge around the hole thing to keep my tape measures from falling off. The drill press vice is held on with two hooks made from wood attached to a scrap piece of wood. These hooks fit through the sides of the vise to hold it in place. This makes for easy removal by lifting it up and off the holder. These hammers are held in place with the same technique as the combination wrenches.
With a larger angled dowel, these hammers should never fall off the wall. The marking gauge holder was made from a simple block. Using a spade or forstner bit, drill a shallow hole the size of the base of the gauge.
This will give an edge for the marking gauge to hold onto. There are individual shelves and cabinets for each set of tools, yet nothing is stored away or hidden. Replicating this look will take a lot of time, design, and planning. You can never have enough hammers, but the issue comes when you run out of room to store them. This is an easy way to make quick work of hammer storage. Two wood brackets are attached to the ends of a board that spans the appropriate distance.
This provides a sturdy shelf to slide hammers into instead of piling them in the bottom of a drawer. Pegboard caddies make excellent additions to a garage shop. They provide a lot of storage in spaces that are typically barely used. These caddies stand vertically when stored away and are easily removed when you need the tools that they store. The key to making this design works is to cut grooves into the top and bottom boards in the cabinet frame to receive the pegboard and keep it in place.
Without the grooves, the pegboard will simply tip over, and most of the tools you so-carefully laid out will be strewn across your shop floor. This wrench storage idea is a far better way to organize your wrenches than piling them into a toolbox drawer. This is a simple design and it can be accomplished on a table saw with a crosscut sled. Register the two marks before passing the workpiece over the blade. This plier-storage box on a french-cleat system is an ideal way to store awkward tools without putting them in a drawer.
Pliers are held upright by a steel rod that has been installed in the middle of each tier. The easiest way to replicate that is to cut both ends of your box, clamp them together, and drill through both ends at the same time. The rod will sit evenly and keep your pliers from tipping over. This particular rack consists of three tiers of shelves on legs. Replicate these shelves by using dimensional lumber and a drill press. This will give the stamps something to bottom out on while still holding them upright for easier identification.
Garden tool storage ideas like the one pictured make storing your awkward tools a non-issue. This rack holds each tool up off the ground, keeping them from falling and you from tripping over them. Dimensional lumber is the perfect material for a job like this.
You may find cutting the slots will be easier by starting with a large spade or Forstner bit and then finishing the cuts with a jigsaw. This should give you a serviceable result while not taking the whole day to accomplish. Source: visionsfrommyfrontporch via Instagram. Source: suddenlysimpleorganizing via Instagram.
