comp56 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 picked up about 80 feet (in 4 foot sections) of this heavy duty rail and peg system the pegs can hold almost 60LBS I cut them down to about 1 foot long for this they usually are around 22" long now I can have all my sanding/grinding discs in one place and easy to get to.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ha, I had this very same conversation with myself today trying to come up with some clever sandpaper storage solution. I bought 8 storage totes to organize shit, but I ended up dedicating a drawer to Sanding/Grinding instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foneguy Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 That's is a great idea !! Beats the crap out of my drawer full of crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I love the idea but I don't have the space. I've been looking for one of those floppy disc organizers, they're worth nothing because the technology has been antiquated for like 25 years. We have a couple at the shop but our plan is to use those for storing our rubber belts to condense the peg wall. One of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 This is about as organized as I'm going to get until I redo my shop. Believe it or not, this is a drastic improvement over what it used to be. There's a lot more in there than you can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 @Conductor562 is a @comp56 style sanding wall for your shop in the works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Probably not, but I would like to devise some sort of drawer based organization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 problem I have is I have as good memory as a rock, if I had everything in cupboards and drawers or containers or tool boxes I may as well give up now. I could be looking for days for a screwdriver I need as much as possible in view at a glance and even at that it can be challenging.....I just have to much shit for to much crap that ends up doing nothing cause it takes half the day looking for it. Then I get frustrated and go buy more I bet I have 17 caulking guns 16 of them are like new the other day in fact looking for 18g crown staples, I know I have some nope go buy more get there better buy 2 packs.....get home open them up ....oh wait put the second pack away safe somewhere I will know where they are.....and bingo the other bloody packs I have.......son of a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I need to come up with a solution for wood sanding disc soon. For steel I just used pegboard and hooks. I like how you labeled your grits and I should the same. Currently I have to take every one off and look at the back to figure it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any trouble remembering where I put shit, but I still like my labels. I have every drawer and bin labeled with the exception of my roll cab. A label maker is an essential tool IMO.

rrmccabe Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Well my memory is worse than yours. I dont have a problem remembering where I put stuff. I have a problem remembering that I have the tool in the first place ! I do a project and realize I had a gadget that specializes in something and forget to use it If its out and in my face all the time. I might think to use it more. Drawers and cabinets are my worst enemy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetBuilder Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have the Festool sanding disc systainer. I personally hate things hanging on the wall. I prefer everything put away in drawers or cabinets. I find visual clutter distracting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I go to great lengths to organize it so it does not look like clutter. Not to mention when everything has a custom built hanger it has a place and easier to put away and keep shop clean. I should think more about a Systainer for disc storage. Right now it would take several of them though as I have 5", 6" and triangle detail disc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like looking at "clutter " All the stickers on your tool box would drive me nuts. While you made beautiful open tool storage. I would prefer cabinet doors on them. Not judging, just my weird OCD. I recently bought some acrylic piano hinges on eBay to make acrylic storage boxes. My shop throws away a lot of small scraps. See through boxes could be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However about 7 years ago I found out how many drawers you can open before tipping the toolbox over. It held up very well for what it went through but the drawers got dinged up pretty good. I like the stickers more than the dings. But I am 100% with you on the stickers. And as I said with my memory, I need stuff visible so I remember to use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
