Garage/Shop Reorganization

[Ike]

After reading about all the ways things should be I had a nightmare last night. I opened up the door and I could walk around in my shop without stepping over something.But this morning I opened the door and it looked the same as it has for the last year.

Dammit- Threw the caps out, too![emoji15]
I'm not very smart. Just ask my wife![emoji12]

I had a big electric motor switch i was sure i tossed out. I did, almost. Found it in a box outside destined for shredder. Was happy to find a treasure i was saving and tossed but didnt really.

Saving all them little bits is a nuisance, but i save my short pvc/abs. Never know when a 6" piece on a sunday will avert a disaster. Keep it in a bin in my shed.

2" will drive a wheel bearing dust cap on perfectly. On most small trailers. Its in my wheel bearing service kit.

Nah, I don't believe it.

For the head holders just use 2 small nuts and bolts. Just make sure they don't go through far enough to get the body of the gun.

What size tubing for the Dewalt cordless?

Johnny - if imitation is the ultimate compliment, then I guess you get some accolades today!

I did find my end caps, but 2" so I didn't pitch what I thought I had. These are 3" PVC @ 14" long, and 1" coupler holders @ 3".

I was eager enough to do it, that I cut it all with my NEW 80T trim blade on my NEW miter saw!

I'm not using caps yet, but want to put my suction pump in one of them, and figuring out a way to make it so it doesn't fall through, since no handle. Might just wrap it with copper ground wire, and make a hook.....

Too friggin' hot and humid out there to do anymore just yet...

If It was me, I would dedicate the wall with the BBQ and FEL a full length pallet racking setup like costco. Pallet racking can be bought on craigslist dirt cheap. It a great organizational system because it's open. When you start storing in cabinets, stuff is out of site and out of mind.

For your grease guns, you could do something out of PVC like this, or vertical.

Thanks for the idea

I sure like that. May do something like it. Right now i drop em in a 5 gallon pail. I have three pails stacked, two for used filters, one for funnels. 1' square plywood seperating each pail.

Great idea
