I've just started my woodworking journey, and I've quickly accumulated a ton of tools and materials. My garage is becoming a chaotic mess, and I'm running out of storage options. I've tried using shelves and cabinets, but those fill up so quickly! I'm looking for tips on how to keep everything organized without taking up too much floor space. Any advice?

Yeah, I've found that smart storage solutions are key. I use stackable bins for lesser-used stuff and keep my main tools on open shelves for quick access. Keeps my workspace clear and makes it easier to find what I need in the moment!
It’s like a never-ending cycle, right? Once you start organizing your shop, it feels like you keep needing more tools just to manage the clutter! I suggest taking a good look at what you really need out in the open and what can be stored away. My workbench is set up with storage and drawers underneath, which is perfect for keeping hand tools and smaller power tools handy but out of sight. Plus, with a foldable table saw, I can save a lot of floor space. Eventually, you find what works for you!
I totally get your struggle! It's crucial to assess what tools you actually use. I've heard stories about people selling or donating tools they don’t use. It might sound crazy, but it really helps declutter! You could seriously make room for the stuff you actually need by letting go of the extras.
Totally agree! I'm in the same boat; my tool collection just keeps growing. Maybe investing in some rolling storage racks or a pegboard could help. That way, you can utilize vertical space without sacrificing your floor area.
