Most shop tours offer a glimpse into the overall space, tools, and sometimes a few organizational highlights. I’ve already covered that in my previous shop tour, so today, we’re going one step further. This time, we’re diving into the heart of my organizational system—showing how everything is stored, including a look inside most of my drawers!
You might be wondering, “Why focus on the details that other shop tours skip?” For me, organization is a cornerstone of a productive shop. It’s not just about keeping things tidy—it’s about optimizing efficiency and reducing frustration. Here are the key reasons I prioritize organization in my workspace:
When everything is organized, you’ll never have to scramble looking for tools or supplies. Whether it’s a glue roller or a tape measure, each item has a designated home. This means you can quickly find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it—saving you time and energy during every project.
Good organization isn’t just about putting things away—it’s about thoughtful placement. Storing items close to where they’re used most often streamlines your workflow. For example, keeping your hand planes stored in a cabinet or mounted on the wall right next to your workbench makes them easy to grab without disrupting your momentum.
An organized shop isn’t just a productive shop—it’s a clean one too. When everything has a specific place and similar items are grouped together, tidying up at the end of the day becomes a breeze. Taking just 1-2 minutes to put things away will not only keep your space clean but also leave you feeling more motivated to start fresh the next day.
Although I failed to mention it in the video, many people reminded me that safety is also a key factor. If your shop is well-organized, it’s easier to keep the space clean and you’re less likely to have a mishap.
