Five easy steps to a clean garage

You park your car in the driveway and you still have to work on your
projects in the back yard. If you don’t use your garage for
its designed purpose, why not turn it into a tidy workshop?
Here are five steps to turn your garage in a perfect small home
workshop:

1) Create your own workbench from an old door,some
sawhorses or scrap wood. It can be portable and storable. Folding
saw horses can be stored against the wall saving space when not needed.

2) Mount a pegboard on the wall to store your tools. It would be
a great idea to mount it above your workbench. Strategically
place pegs according to the type of tools you will be placing on
the board. After hanging your tools, trace around them with a
marker so you will know where each one goes.

3) Use old jars for holding nails, nuts, bolts and screws. Baby food
jars are perfect for small parts. Jelly jars for larger items. You can
nail the lids to the bottom of a shelf for visibility and easy access.

4) Make a storage box for the rags because they tend to accumulate
in the working area. Use inexpensive plastic shoe boxes for rags, projects,
and collections of parts or tools. They are stackable and will fit on a shelf.
Write on the front the contents with a sharpie pen or just see the contents
through the clear box.

5) Use a small tackle box for transporting items such as screws and
nails as you move around the shop or from shop to project.
