It looks like you need to build a nice garage or work shop next DJ!!!

That’s the first time I’ve seen anyone use PVC pipe for screwdrivers like that. Killer idea man!

djslaterMember since Jan 2014

There was a ton of PVC Pipe laying around when I bought the house…

 

I can’t remember is this is 2″, 2.25″, or 2.5″ PVC…but if I had to do it again, I would have used a smaller pipe, like a 1″.

 

I guess you could do the same thing for wrenches, or pliers…but that would require some big holes, or fancy drilling to make oblong holes.

 

The shed is galvanized steel, with a stell frame…it took some thinking to put up those extra plywood sheets for storage/organization. I have since found many more magnetized storage/organization items than I thought would be available.

Nice shop, u just need less tools. No just kidding. I feel your pain, shop is getting tighter by the minute. Maybe the wife could move into workshop, and I could use house as workshop.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013

Lol chad!!! Not a bad idea though

Trust me the “I need more room”….. never works

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013

U know they actually have modular garages know. They even do all the install , that would be sweet.

gotta say that’s the first shop I’ve seen with wall paper like that. What’s the table top made of?

hathatylMember since Sep 2013

I like the screw driver holder you got on the wall

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013

We should not be busting him for his contact paper and pvc pipe screwdriver holders.

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013

I like his ideas with PVC pipe pretty cool

djslaterMember since Jan 2014

The “workbench” was actually in my basement…it has a kitchen laminate countertop. The previous owner used this to fold laundry, and as basement storage….it was already assembled…there is actually sheetrock on the sides, and back that the wallpaper is stuck to….not my idea / construction.

 

I actually just replaced the PVC screwdriver holder because my collection is outgrowing the space:

That is now in it’s place.

I have a workbench that’s made by Stanley. The sides are plastic then it’s got a cheap tin bottom shelf and the topics is a cheap wood top. And it has 2 drawers.It’s about 8ft long. It held up for six 6 years now. I bought it new on eBay

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013

Not bad chad you’ve gotten 6yrs out if it . How much did u spend? I want one of those craftsman tables with drawers and outlets just for when I’m workin on my yard tools or kids RC cars I think they look pretty cool but there pricey
