Storage for small parts.

[STRIPER LOU]

Although I don't have a ton of small repair parts, they were in several locations. I was finding on occasion I was ordering duplicate parts that I had somewhere else and that can get expensive!

I had a bunch of lumber left over from a huge project stored in my bomb shelter. The women that had my house built was an oldtimer from Germany. The walls are 30" of heavily reinforced concrete and its been a great place to store my wood. The temperature hardly ever changes and its nice and dry. The wife keeps trying to put xmas ornaments in it and I move them out!!!
Anyways, just some 5/8" ply for the sides, 3/4 pine for the back and a couple of shelves, and some 1 x 2's for the rails. I think it took longer to paint than build.
Just waiting for the paint to dry well before I transfer all my stuff.

Plastic boxes were from good old McMaster at around $8 and change each. Part# 4629T48. If someone needs the dimensions I'd be glad to provide them.
All the best,   .......................Lou

Looks great. Thinking of something similar but I need someplace to put it.

Lou, that looks great! I did something similar a while back, but not as neat as yours.


Parts cabinets are crazy in cost, a flat file cabinets with a few drawers could run well over $1000.
The lumber on mine was leftover from one of my job and the Husky parts organizers were $14 a piece, costing me around $175.
I'm not telling you what I've spent to fill those organizers  .

Very nice Lou, I can clearly see you got some talent, but I already knew that .

Thanks for sharing.

Super clean, nice job Lou!

[thorhammer]

Lou, that's a great piece of work!!!! However, IMO the floor is way too clean and could use some lathe waste from a new plug run!!!:)

[Bryan Young]

I'm sorry, I got distracted by all the equipment in the background.

Very nice rack system.  I need to do something like this, but first, a shed or two.

Gives new meaning to "nice rack"!

Not enough room for both of us at once Sid, one of the reason I stacked the bottom of my work bench with parts .
Maybe one day my workshop will be as Lou's, one can only hope .

I don't take up much space

Sid I've been to Sal's house twice and I still have not seen his workshop.  We usually can't get past the dining room table and the cantina di vino.  Dominick
