Watch This Before Organizing Your Toolbox 

What a great father! Loves how he talks to his son. He sits there and teaches/ guide him. Instead of just telling him what to do, or worst, doing it for him.

If I watch you clean your tool box, I feel like I dont have to do mine. I really appreciate this Cody.

Growing up - I wish I had a father that gave instructions and explained in detail the "how to's" like you did with your son! I can feel the compassion! It's amazing to watch!

watching someone do chores while I'm supposed to be doing my own LOL

@8:03...reminds me of my son. As son is distracted, looks away, totally missing the final point of assembly...”see what I did there?” Son: .....”uh-huh”

You have a fine boy there Cody. Reminds me of my son shadowing me when I worked in construction. He learnt a lot and now at 24 he is working for an eavestrough company, not the most challenging of trades but none the less I am proud of him for being a hard worker and able to keep a job. I love it when I see you allowing Jack to do things on his own without being overbearing but yet there for him if he is struggling with something, that is being a great father and because of it, you will have a stronger bond with your son, a lesson many need to learn.

So that’s what a good parent sounds like when they are teaching you something! Why did this make me want a hug? Lol I was just looking for a way to organize my hubby’s tools. Lol 😂

This dude just said, “ka-nye-pex” and y’all just gonna act like he didn’t. Smh

Hi Cody. One thing it took me a long time to learn is to put inspection mirrors with the mirror part to the inside not outside of the draw. Something will eventually fall into the draw and smash them

Dang dude, hitting us with the sneak attack biblical wisdom. Never viewed my possessions like that.

After I watched this video I just realized that I really need to relax when I’m working on a project and to not get discouraged when i can’t figure out a problem. I need to be happy with what God has provided for me.

Exactly what I've been doing this week with painting around the shop and organizing all my tools

Fixing the flat lawnmower tire was awesome to me. That has been a constant struggle for me the past couple years. I picked up a couple tips. Thanks!!

a few years a gentlemen bought his 1st big toolbox at 55 and ask me how to I organize it, I told him can't tell him how till he uses it and see what works for you., and you will go through a few versions, only thing I could suggest is put the tools you use to most in the top draws, put them in the bottom draws you never put them away.

Mamma cat got a lot of screen time in this vid❗️🐈 Didn't see any Loctite, but did possibly see a pair of Super73 electric bikes. 👀

Cody, God doesn't give you anything. Everything you acquire is through your hard work.

The one thing I have found with that style drawer liner it allows a lot of dirt to get under the liner and it slides. I try to use solid drawer liners. Also a great tip for people that are having issues with seeing I use white drawer liners. It really makes things pop when they get dirty you just clean them. I’ve had them for years in a professional shop. Great video staying clean and organize is a great timesaver.

Tool box drawers are coming along nicely. I reorganized my rolling toolbox a few years ago and so far kept it orderly. My workbench on the other hand... well, I may have to do it in segments, a few rogans at a time.

Hey Cody. I have a quick tip for the tire changing. Clamp a pair of vice grips to the rim by the valve stem. It helps hold the bead down. Leaving both spoons to walk the bead over. Also, most of the time I could seat the bead by taking the valve core out. I hate it when I have to drag out the ratchet strap. Great video! I'll watch it again when I clean my shop tonight.

Glue the edges of the drawer mats so it doesn't slide back as it closes and opens when you are quickly looking for something. It was the best thing I've ever done

Nice show....went through the same process fixing my wheelbarrow tire about 3 weeks ago. Forgot all the tricks involved. They finally came back now I can repair it in about 5 mins. Rediscovered some tire tools my Dad had 45 yrs ago, including patches for tubes that still worked fine.

In January I started organizing my shop. I have around 6000sqft under roof in my shop and it was an absolute mess. I have posted some videos of it, but I haven't figured out how to make "cleaning my shop" interesting the way you do. I recently started using a tool cart, so like you one of the next things on my list is to organize my large toolbox!

Cody, consider turning the mirrors over. Have the mirror side facing down, it'll help protect the working surface.

After a good 42 years of acquiring and using all kinds of tools I have gone thru 2 phases 30 years apart in trying to organize tools. The 2 phases were trying to stow tools in tool chests like my 2 internationals which just doesn't work due to my massive collection. Anyway I opted 18 years ago to use 2 large cantilever boxes for screw drivers, wrenches, pliers, punches, socketry, breaker bars etc then another box for podgey bars, drifts cold chisels etc. Another box is dedicated to auto electrical tools etc, and another for welding and grinding safety for eyes and breathing respirators and filters, then a box just for measuring, torque wrenches etc. This has more than what I need and departmentallized for every discipline needed. In carpentry I have a box just for all the door and lock tools, and concrete tools, hole drills etc.. This all are enclosed from elements and stacks well in the truck. Yeah the rolling tool chest was more or less a hinderence as no matter how big it is its hard to organize and its very impractical. The large tool cabinet are just status symbols in the shop.

0:04 The K in Knipex is not silent actually 😂👌

Yes, the book of numbers shows how things were to be ordered and arranged I agree totally.

Looks like you found another wood working project making a drill index to protect those edges instead of having them banging around in the drawer.

The Biblical background was not expected, but welcomed. I love your videos, and may God help us to honor Him in our daily lives, even with things like organizing toolboxes!

I love watching you teach your kids and have them in the shop with you you seem like a good man

Nice job on cleaning the shop. It's a never ending battle! Just thought I'd pass on what I did with my lawnmower's front tires. I had them properly foamed at a place that deals with agricultural equipment. Kinda pricey, but no flats in 15 years.

You’re making me feel bad 😞 about my garage. It’s definitely in need of some organizing and getting stuff put away. I don’t agree that most people could manage if they gave half of their tools away. You are the exception to that. Most people don’t have a giant workshop. I inherited my dad’s tools after he passed, so do have duplicates and triplicates, but I cannot let them go. Same as you and your grandpa’s tools. It’s always nice to have a backup as well.

Love the videos! You are a very good teacher and story teller. Highly appreciate that you share the gospel in many of your videos!

I love cleaning my shop vicariously through your videos. It gives me the fizz.

Nice! Organization is my weakness. I am a recovering hoarder. 👍

My favorite part of this video....”it’s respectful to God to take care of the things he gives us.” God’s not dead!

Love watching the interaction with your son. Such a blessing to spend time teaching the young ones.

Thanks Cody, great content 👍 A lesson shared for us all 😎

Great video sir. Please come back to these.

I keep an old, 6'x6' low-pile rug rolled up and ready to put down when I do break jobs, ball joints etc. Nothing lost on driveway or gravel, way better on knees, and then you can just slide rug will all tools around to the other side.

Can’t believe how organised one man can be. My garage is a disaster. I’m going to take Cody’s wonderful advice and put it into action way down here in Perth Western Australia.

Those mirror handles look like they telescope. Wouldn't it be better to collapse them so they don't take up so much space in the drawer?

Great stuff as always Cody,keep up the brilliant work,loving these videos.

I use shadow box foam in my toolboxes, its really easy to inventory the boxes and see if anything is out.

lol, Jack wasn't watching you put the tyre on the rim, he was looking outside 8:05 Cody " ok, did you see how i did that?" Jack turns around "mmm hmm"

Jack is pretty smart. He got you to do his project for him. Good job.

I live in England. Thank you for your sound advice ‘give yourself 3 feet’ and start there. My workshop is a disaster and didn’t know where to start. Take care !!

Man! You are a good dad! And great dude all around! I live in Portland and I love being in the shop building/fixing stuff

I was your son at that age, not really interested or paying attention when I should have been. I'm nearing 30 now and can't wait to teach my kids these things that I learned the hard way.

I label my drawers with painter’s tape that way I can always change my organization and I don’t have to search.

I really like what you said about how God wants for us to take care of the things that he has given us

The mice are gonna be so happy to have all those new drawer liners ;)

Love your comments on keeping an orderly life! Truth

Thx for the help

I have watched Cody and his family grow, and have enjoyed their channel and will continue. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. ... THANK YOU!!

When you have the layout set, You can use a silver sharpy to show what fit in the hole that is missing.

Have you ever used sonic tools? I've seen how they have the foam inserts and how nice and organized they are when it's all in your toolbox

Thanks for leaving in the bits about working with the young man. 👊🏼😎

This system works well if you have next to no tools. I have two tool boxes each of them are smaller than the one in the video and they have more than double the tools in each one. The key is to buy tools that are supplied in modulated trays. More compact and higher capacity.

Amen about using the Lord to guide you!!

Amen and thank you I’m about to organize all of my dads tools

I couldn't agree more on taking care of things. The way I've always seen it and taught my son is that the Lord is the origination of all our blessings, including the funds to buy whatever it is that we buy. So, therefore it's honoring to Him to take care of the things we purchase with the funds He blesses us with.

That is one loving barn cat. A lot of the ones I have met in my part are cat colony rescues and they're mostly feral.

So awesome to see, my dad always keeps his tools like this.

Such a wonderful video. Nicely done.

Good message.

I've got that same cleaning spray. Just one dollar at Rite Aid. Works pretty good

Could you do a tool wall "shop tour" of all of the tools on the wall organizer and the reason to have them there vs your tool cart? Also any updated on the tools that stay on the mobile cart? Thanks!

Love the yellow. If I weren't so sick I would paint all my red toolboxes yellow.

What a great son you have. He is calm and trying to learn things at the best from you. Bless your heart.!

Love the tool videos.👍🏻

I made a holster for a cop. 357 its invaluable having the right punches and cutters, it just makes the end result that much more satisfying and professional looking 👍

highly recommend Kaizen Foam from Fastcap, a great way to keep tools organized

Hey that’s a good way to look at it and it definitely works good I just went out to the garage and did what you been saying in ur videos thanks man I appreciate the morale boost

I'm not religious, but I do appreciate the example.

Great vid!

If you clamp a large bolt in your bench vise and then slide the rim down over it you can put a nut on it and have a way to hold the rim like a tire machine does. Makes changing those small tires MUCH easier. Also, you can buy new front tires from Coastal for not much more than tubes cost.

Somebody needs to give that poor cat some love. :)

Thank you Cody, needed help in this area

You knew I just put a new box together and was gonna reorganize this weekend.

7:35 Sorry Jack, you are off my marriage list until you learn to pet the darn cat when she comes over to say hi. That's showing more red flags than a Communist Party Conference.

Hey buddy. I love all your videos and I was really looking forward to the recent workbench build. Seems like the electrical on the wall is finished. Not that I did not enjoy the tool box fix but are you going to video the workbench or was it mostly about wall prep and electrical?

I'd take some spray adhesive to the drawer liners. They're gonna get bunched up in. No time

Cheers from Poland :)

Barn Cat!!

I remember in a video from a couple years ago a book you talked about that describes the best places or how to choose the sight of a homestead. Do you recall the title? Thanks again for the info and videos. 👍👍

Coming along great! Inspiring me to get after my garage. What kind of peg board system is that?

Love the commentary on taking care of tools and order with a biblical parallels. Amen

For your impact driver, do you even have 3/8 in Phillip head sockets? That's the real question

For the word "often", the "t" is silent, like when you soften your pillow. YW

I just went through this of having a riding mower tire leak and bought tubes for the tires but the stems on the tubes weren't in the right place for the wheels. So check the location of the tube stems so they will fit the wheels.

Thanks for reminding us to use little bites to take care of problems that seem overwhelming.

Thank you for that opening statement.

I would move the sockets and wobbles up to the top drawer and the fuel disconnect stuff and other non-wrenches down to drawer 3. I like to keep all of my sockets and socket related things in the same drawer. also the fuel disconnect tools are less used so i move them to lower drawers. Also I fell like punches go with drill bits more than with hex keys and line wrenches. Nothing really wrong with the way you have it, I just have ways I like to group things. lol

Excellent as usual!!!

Inspection mirrors down in the south are used to check for ticks.

Amen! Respect your things. I work hard for my tools, & after years of patience and work, God has provided! I'm showing respect

there is something also to the chaos of nature.

Also it's nice to see him teaching the young gen valuable skills

go on amazon and buy a pliers rack save a lot of space.

Organizing tools gives me the "Fizz." :)
