Power Tools Storage Ideas

Power Tools Storage Shelf

Keeping power tools organized and within easy reach in my shop used to be a hassle.  They were usually scattered around in the shop or in a missy pile on my bench.  To solve these problems, I built a handy shelf.  Besides providing storage , this tool shelf solves another nagging problem as well , it keeps the power cords from getting tangled up like spaghetti.  Each power cord fits in a separate compartment directly below the tool, as you can see in the photo.

These compartments are formed by a number of dividers that are sandwiched between a top and bottom, as shown in the drawing at right.  The location of the dividers is determined by the amount of space each tool requires.
