16 Instant Workshop Storage Solutions 

This is the one that I will use and LOVE the most!!! Reuse and recycle EVERYTHING!!! They make fun of me, but I save everything and this is why!!! Thank you for the ideas.

I come from a construction family in many phases. It is truly inspiring to see young people, like yourself teaching us old dogs new tricks. Keep it up! I do have an interest in that horizontal peg board jar organizational thing. Please advise on that.

Dear April, I really love what you do. It's so inspiring. I live on a small farm in Germany and bought a Woodmizer a few months ago. After watching all of your videos i started with woodworking and I really love building sawhorses. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. Keep on doing what you do. Greetings from Germany, Lukas

All I could think about through this video was "why didn't I think of that" Great video. Thumbs up

These tips are actually SO GOOD and simple! I seriously can’t believe how I’ve never thought of some of these before! Thank you for making this video! It’s honestly the best video I’ve seen on shop storage to date.

Sometimes I don’t really care about what you are making, but I love to just listen to you. Everything you do you put your whole self into it. Hope you make videos for a long time. When I build my shop next year I will be getting some charts to hang.

Wow! Short & sweet, & actually useful! I think I'll bookmark this one.

A good addition to the magnet drill chuck holder is to add a retractable keychain thing to it so that its tethered to the place and can't possibly be put anywhere else.

April I have recently retired and am in the process of tossing 47 years of accumulated junk from my career. This could not have been timed better as I finally organize the chaos. Thank you for sharing so many great ideas in one video.

I've been watching you since you started. I remember you telling how you got started in woodworking.. And look at you now.....I am proud of you.........blessings to you always

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, I have watched you from the beginning of your videos and you have always had good ideas, I use most of the ones shown today, I have one 4 you, I installed plastic rain gutters on the edges of all my benches which R also on casters, plastic because you can't get cut and they bend and return quickly, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

So often I find "tip" videos are full of either blatantly obvious ideas, or ones that terribly lame/impractical. This is an exception to that! Great ideas and things I haven't seen before or thought of myself. Thanks April!

Forget tips 1-17. The biggest tip here is use plywood for walls so you can screw things everywhere with no issues. I think this video just sold me on that.

April, I think you just might be one of the most informative RU-vidr woodworker!

I've done the hook/drill holder and the picture hangers and I've seen multiple uses for PVC pipe storage, but the rest of this is new to me. Thanks, April!

I am literally just taking a break from cleaning up my garage. I know you always have such a clean and organized shop so I thought I'd get some inspiration. I am now going back out to finish with a few of these great tips. Thanks!

Finally, garage storage solutions from a person that actually uses them day in and day out.

I'm a old shop teacher and these are great. Your great kid.

The tip at the 0:36 mark, so ingenious yet so simple! Thanks for that.

Beautifull and smart...love it...thanks👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for being so amazing and inspiring, April!!

These. Are. Brilliant! My workspace is a part of a garage and these are genius.

Great tips. Thanks April.

Your videos are JUST what I've been looking for as I clean out and organize my shed!

I have been building and fixing things everything from engine rebuilds, home and deck construction to computers and the like. I am thoroughly impressed.

Quote of the day: "organizing a shop is never ending!" I have been moving a few things in my shop and will incorporate several of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

@April Wilkerson I just received the reply back from SmartJars concerning the Food Safe plastics. Regarding your question on food safety. The plastic we use to mold our jar and lids are safe for food storage. (Technically, the plastic meets U.S. CFR Title 21, Part 177, Subpart B, Section 177.1520 (c) 3.1a entitled “Olefin Polymers” of the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938.) Of course, as with any purchased product, you’ll want to wash these with regular dish detergent prior to use. Also, if you put these in the dishwasher, you’ll want to use the top rack only.

One of the best "organizing on the cheap" videos I have seen...well done!

I always store my glue bottles upside down to prevent the dried film on the inside of the nozzle. It also leaves the glue ready to flow immediately upon use. I set them inside of plastic cups so they will stand up and I can set them on any surface where I'm working.

Thank you April! I hope you be fine, I appreciate the time invested!!! 🙂

Great ideas. Shower curtain hooks for saws all blades. Genius. Lots more great ideas but that one I will use today. 😁😎

I've watched a lot of storage idea videos but those were some of the best storage ideas I've ever seen.

I will be adding tip #2 to my shop today!

I use the back of door show organizers for everything haha pantry, coatcloset for hats and glove, hall closet for hairbrushes and bandaid and stuff, shop for batteries and small tools

Those are all an amazing solution to most workshop issues!! 10/10 again April!!!!!!!!!!

-Cover the magnet for the drill press in plasti-dip or resin. If not it will break over time from the key hitting it -Use a wire nut to seal silicone caulk.

I love these tips as well as all of your videos. Keep rocking April. You're doing a great service.

You are an inspiration to all women in the trades, amazing

Love both the electrical boxes and pipe cap tips! Thanks for sharing.

As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I had my comment in my head. Tip #12, with the shoe pouches, is one I've been using for quite some time. I have a very small workshop (which I share with the furnace and water heater!), and I have a cloth version of the shoe hanger. It is mounted on the back side of my door, and I keep most of my spray paint and poly cans in it. They are out of sight, out of the way, but super handy when I need them. A tip I have is to take 2' - 3' sections of heavy duty cardboard roller (as is used in carpet rolls), or you can use Schedule 40, and mount them on a wood base. It's best to cut a plywood round that fits in the end of the tube, and then attach the round to the base. Do this with 3 or 4 sections on the base, and you can keep dowels, scrap trim moulding, threaded rods, and other smaller width dimensional items in them. You could even put a lazy susan plate on the bottom, if desired. Thanks for the other tips, April! You gave some I haven't tried before, (I love Tip #1 and Tip #3 the best), and I'm eager to add them to my shop!

Very nice idea for organisation, thank you

I buy the 16 oz glue bottles because I like the size to work with and I don't end up wasting it like I do gallon jugs. I keep the bottle upside down in a jar with a bit of water in the bottom, keeps the tip clean and the glue ready to come out with no shaking.

Lot of great tips! And, finally, a sponsor for something that is more than useful and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'll be looking into those for sure.

I don't want storage above the surface of the workbench. It will get in the way. I put the magnet on top of my drill press. Nice idea for a tape rack... you could also use it for a paper towel roll. Thanks for the tips. Back in the day... grandpa would attach a mason jar lid to the bottom of a shelf. He'd put nails, screws, bolts, nuts, etc... in the jar and just store it quickly by screwing into the mounted lid.

Great tips! I've been using #5 and #6 for about 20 years. It's great to see that I'm not the only one who does it!

very helpful tips - thanks for sharing

Hi April. Thanks for this new video. Every day I learn more with the tips you teach us. God bless you, take good care of yourself. 😘 😘

A W E S O M E keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. My friend keep making.

I really like your channel, I am from Saudi Arabia

Little tips and tricks like these come in handy we don't always think about them so when they are presented it makes one go uh good idea.

Thank you, April. When I get my workshop built, I am definitely going to use some of your REALLY GREAT tips.

Fantastic tips, April!!! 😃 Thanks a lot! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thank you, some absolutely brilliant tips, I will definitely use the ones that are applicable and helpful to my small work space Cheers, be safe and take care Sam

Mate, this is solid gold. Every one of those 16 ideas strikes me as little short of genius. Thanks!

Great Job April. So happy for your success.

She really knows good ideas.

smart jars! great! so many uses, jewelry components, leather,... hook and chain ,so many good ideas and no B.S. Good Job! thank you

These are some great tips. Thanks for sharing.

Great tips! We don't have much space for pegboard and needed versatile solutions to keep frequently use items nearby. I use a rolling cart for furniture flip supplies, and could easily even add some of these to the side of the cart! 👍 And our Sawz-all blades alone have been making me crazy!

Fantastic and unique storage solutions! THANKS

2:50 best solution for most of my items. 1. It's universal. You don't want a storage where only one particular tool fits in like those holes, where only one size of a drill fits. 2. You can see it all. No need to open any boxes to look for stuff. 3. Doesn't use much space. It's hanging on a wall, but vertically. Horizontal cupboards usually waste a lot of space. 4. If you need to change your workspace you can easily take it down and hang it up elsewhere.

I love videos like this with interesting ways to store things I don’t have very much space so it’s always useful doing research before storing things

You are terrific! Keep these videos coming for the novice,please

Thank you, I like your variety options.

You're just a smart creative woman, I thank you so much for the simple hacks esp. the PVC tubes are a fantastic item storage ideas. Thank you from Addis.

Simple but helpful ideas. I used a few myself. Thanks

Thanks very much. Very easy to understand and follow.

Great tips! Thank you April.

Thanks for sharing that, organised shop

I will probably steal some of these ideas

This will help me a LOT in my ongoing attempt to organize my shop.

Thank you for showing the best tips I think I have ever seen. I'm going to incorporate some of these in my shop!

Wowwwwww este es el mejor video único en internet!

This video was so helpful and full of great ideas, thank you!

Always great tips and info! Definitely pulling some tips for my workshop.

This in fantastic April. I especially like the idea of the electrical boxes for storage. While watching this I was already planning a jig to hold the electrical boxes to a piece on the backside of my table saw to collect small pieces for segmented bowls. I love all of your quick tip videos as well as your whole channel in general.

I really like your ideas. Keep posting more please

I. So glad I found your channel! Brilliant ideas girl! Thank you!
