Best Garage Storage.... File Cabinets? Shop, Tools, Supplies - Stacked drawer storage tip 

I have a large filing cabinet. It’s old, I don’t use it for anything, and it takes up a lot of room. After watching your video I’m going to move it out to my woodworking shop and set it up for tools. My wife also saw this video and she wanted the cabinet to use as a linen closet. We did a rock, paper, scissors battle for the cabinet. I won! Guess I’ll be looking on Facebook for another one for her. Thanks for the great ideas.

I'm just a homeowner. We recently moved and unfortunately I lost valuable shop and storage area so every little square inch really count's now. I've looked at a lot of other file cabinet videos and the way you have utilized the space in yours is by far the best I've seen. Thank you for the video. Be blessed! 🙏👍

Looking to clean up the garage a little. You gave me some great ideas. The Rubbermaid bins that slide giving 2 layer access is really nice. Thanks for sharing.

I saw a pair today on Craigslist for my favorite price - F R E E !!! Just got to keep your eyes open for good deals!!

I buy them at our county surplus yard for $25. Have found many at estate sales and auctions for $2.50 to $10.00. Absolutely great for power tools, extension cords, battery chargers, bottle jacks, jack stands, levels, etc. The bin idea is brilliant.

Excellent idea. Thank you for the video.

If you live in an area with a lot of big office buildings, you won't have to look far to see all kinds of filing cabinets by the dumpsters. All free!

I like your setup. I am using file cabinets as storage and tool boxes. I put casters on all of the cabinets in case I drop something and it’s easy to find and they’re easy to move so cleanup is so much easier. Also if I want to reconfigure the shop footprint, I’ve done this a few times, it’s easy to roll the cabinets to it’s new location.

Thanks for this video! I have a file similar to yours that needs to be cleared out at my work. I'm going to bring it home which will make great storage for my supplies. I like the ideas of the sliding tubs.

That is a real nice setup! At work (aircraft maintenance) I have traditional boxes and a cart. At home also but I recently found an old card catolog cabinet and and a 2 drawer standard file cabinet. They were cheap and very well made. As you said, the size of the drawers makes them invaluable for oddly sized stuff, limited only by your imagination. The move to "paperless" archives makes these easier to find than ever before.

Man that is an awesome setup. Thank you soooooo Much for sharing!!! I have access to these real cheap. This is gonna help me a whole bunch.

Its funny have the same two file cabinets and cleaned them out...I have electronics and some old crafting material for my wife, but I did spend up and bought the Seville classics rolling metal cabinets Sam's club

I'm doing the same thing. Thank You Sir....GREAT JOB!!!!

Great video, I have some larger size file cabinets that the doors flip up to expose the shelves. They work awesome. Probably mentioned this before but I own restaurants and do 95% of my own maintenance as part of my job in addition to the 30,000 foot management. I could easily hire it out but I absolutely love it! There’s so much variety and something is always breaking. I’m expanding my portable M12 line so much I broke down and bought a Hart stack system (don’t laugh) just to see if I like that style of organization. It’s not bad but fairly flimsy. For $89 plus another $25 in 2 small organizers it’s a small investment. Looked at the packout but think it’s a bit overkill for me.

Morgan I’d love to see how you integrated the file cabinets into your work benches I briefly saw in another video

I dig the idea

Really glad I stumbled on your channel. I'm a GC that does a lot of maintenance on commercial and residential buildings. Looking at your tool setup we have similar jobs we do. Would love to see a video on your top five most common issues you run into. Any tips and tricks. Seems like you have a lot of great knowledge to share with the community.

Great idea!

Just bought one myself a few weeks ago. I like your idea of what to put in there and how. FB marketplace, 50 bucks all day long. Going in a new garage to work on vehicles. I'm thinking storage of oils and large air tools.

I use file cabinets in my shop at the high school for project materials.

Ove how those totes fit! Nice

My office was raffling office/lab furniture. Ended up winning a handful of mostly 36" 3 drawer but a few other sizes. Also won 3 really nice test benches made of solid paneled maple that are 2x72x36. they've got a top shelf that goes on the back of the top surface also made of maple with really nice LED lights and those long strip outlet bars. Was thinking about selling all the cabinets but might see if I should keep a few for my shop and basement.

Loving It!!!

Looking for those cabinets as we speak

Do you have a link to the bins you have in your cabinets from Lowes? Great idea. I keep all my hoses, ext cords and cordless tools in my 2 drawer lateral. Works great.....but i love this bin idea.

A link to the bins you used would be great

Where did you get the gray bins?

Where do your gray, laterally-sliding trays come from? They look like a great improvement.

i like to collict toolsa for a hobby have it real clean ything
