We just moved and I'm finally at the point where I am organizing my shop so I can start doing "shop stuff." These ideas (as well as the whole video) were very inspiring. Thank you for posting this!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

This is a great bunch of tips April. Lots of tool storage hacks involve either too much cost, fiddly tooling or duct tape. I had already done the magnet chuck key tip but will definitely do a lot more of these.

April, I think you just might be one of the most informative KZfaqr woodworker!

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 ✝️⚾🙃

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.

You're so brilliant! 💜 Thank you so much for sharing. It's all simple. I love how you use things, you would already have in a workshop.

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.

Speed square under bench hanger too. Awesome... the hidden bonus workshop storage solution. Those Smartjars seem good. Even better might be a square version to utilize more volume in the same surface area while still leaving enough room for gripping to grab and pull out.

@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.

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

-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.

These were awesome, Thank you! Also a big fan of reusing my plastic peanut butter jars for odds and ends. Screw the lids to the bottom of a shelf/board....instant, see thru, free storage. And it keeps the plastic out of trash/recycle bin. Keep up the great content.

Thanks for being so amazing and inspiring, April!!

great tips :-) i just wish there were smartjars in Europe

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

These ideas are all so clever! Thank you!

Perfect timing, getting the small things off my bench will help tremendously. Nice tips with the electrical box and old towel hanger. Now I have a place for my clamps and tape. Thank you sharing you knowledge. ErnestG

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

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.

Great tips, many I'd never seen before. For the drill press, I fabricate a wooden block and U bolt it to the column near the head. In the wood block I have holes for the chuck key and the most common bits. Also I hang the common toe clamps and such there too.

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

OMG this is a great video!!! I've used three of your suggestions and even bought the smart jars for my pegboard. Please more suggestions like these because I have a one car garage and hardly any space. Love the PVC caps and put up six of them.

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

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

Great ideas. Love the idea of the elec box, I can see a full French cleat wall of them would be great

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

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

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

Inspirational tips, great video April! Also, your video - installing an airline - just encouraged me to set one up in my little glass art studio, warm thanks, Gavin in England

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

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. 😘 😘

Such great tips!! putting together my first very own woodshop/maker space and will be utilizing a bunch of these. Thank you!!!

Brilliant, yet simple. Thank you for sharing, as always I love what you do!

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!

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

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!

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

Thank you, April, and I'm looking forward to building that rocking chair in the spring!

Well its Friday, so no better time for me to get into the garage and finish building my workspace!😁😄 I love the pvc/dual 45 degree angles for hand tools! Thats happening today!

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.

Just when I thought I need to get organised this came along! Thank you!

Great ideas all....I love the fact your earrings look like spoons for fishing.....awesome 😎

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

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

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

I really like your channel, I am from Saudi Arabia

These are simply brilliant, April! Thanks for sharing!! Great vid. Ty.

Wow, these are genius! Thanks April!

April... you are so smart! Thanks!

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

Checked out the smart jars and as far as storage solutions go, they are REALLY well priced. Def on my list for my next shop reorganization when I open up some peg board space.

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.

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

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

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

Every single one of these, I'm sitting here thinking to myself "genius!!". Maybe I'm easily impressed.....

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

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

Very nice idea for organisation, thank you

All great storage solutions, thanks for sharing April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Those SmartJars look awesome, definitely going to keep them in mind!

I just added a bunch of things to my holiday wish list!

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.

i like the pvc end cup and the chain😆

That wall of clear shoeboxes though.

Great Job April. So happy for your success.

...hopefully you will will use one of them. Wow, I might end up using all of them! Thank you!

Excellent ideas!!!! Thank you

AWESOME VIDEO!!

She really knows good ideas.

very helpful tips - thanks for sharing

Every one super practical and easy. Thank you!

Best workshop tips ever. I used a shoe storage containers with plywood to give it a stronger base I was so excited to come up with an original idea lol...

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

Really clever tips. I am gonna use some of those in my pegboard closet.

OMG love that Chuck key.

Great tips, April. Thank you 😊

All great ideas and products!! 👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏

Tip 2 is brilliant!

Wow, those are some great shop hacks. I know plenty of Metal Fab shop hacks, but first time seeing these. Cool thing is they will work in a fab shop as well

KISS: KEEP IT SIMPLE, SMART! SHARED ON 4 MAJOR PLATFORMS...SMART LADY!
