What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

Not sure if this is phase 2 or phase 3 of shop/garage cleanup and reorganization, but more progress was made this weekend...a landmark of sorts. The shelves are a bit more squared away than before, but they had to be to make room for the freshly filled fastener bins. While fastener bins might not be that exciting to you, considering my living room floor has been covered in partially sorted piles of fasteners along with about 10 partially filled packout bins of varying sizes for the past year plus (not kidding), this is huge. I hate sorting fasteners.

Picked up one more low profile packout bin for the automotive electrical stash and also solved a problem with what I like to call the "Milwaukee Mobile Tower of Storage Power". When you don't have the square footage, you have to go vertical.

I need to design/print a solution for the electrical bin to keep the heat shrink tubing sorted, but other than that she's good to go.

Anyone who has packout crates will know that you need to keep your shit below the locking lugs at the top for things to work. This was a problem with my dedicated sanding crate, my sanding blocks and boards didn't quite fit with all the abrasive rolls and sheet packs. While shopping for the electrical bin, I noticed Milwaukee now has a low profile and tall crate available. Checked the measurements and the low profile seemed like a good fit for the sanding gear.



With exception to a small tray of misc shit sitting on my toolbox worktop that still needs to be sorted, I can actually say that my garage is about as organized as it's ever been and likely ever well be (at this living location, anyway). On to other tasks. Next is figuring how to turn these spares of plastic pipe (and additional pieces as needed) into a frame for a portable spray painting booth with ventilation and filtration for the garage.
