Way too neat for me, Randy. I am starting to itch...
Yeah, my allergy is to mess. We all have to find our own cures.
Randy, will you adopt me so I can come live in your shop? I'll bring my own cott!!!
You realize you'll need to get in line. There is a waiting list.
Seriously, you aren't the first to ask. But, you know what? You are more than welcome to stop by and spend a day if you like. When will you be in my neck of the woods?
That looks awesome Randy.
Thanks. All staged for picture taking. It don't look like that in the middle of a project.
I have finally been able to finish the organizing of my metal in my new shop.
Built these wall hangine racks in my RV bay and filled them up with the lengths that were standing vertical in my old shop. Much more accessible like this.
Then while I was in the fabrication mode, I made up a series of hangers for various items around the shop and in the attached garage.
I made a few hangers for my spare welding helmets and face shield out of 3/8" rod and flat strap.
Next I was tired of looking at my spare air hoses and extension cords sitting on the floor so I decided to utilize the empty space under one of my windows.
Next up was to build one specific hanger for single air hose and single extension cord on the opposite side of the shop within easy reach/access.
A little TIG weave.
Again, painted with Rustoleum Hammered paint. This color seems to be my shop signature color with my workbenches as well as my drawer organizers and lockers that are all the same color and hammered or wrinkle finish.
Lastly I decided to build some hangers for my lawn equipment like I had at my last home. I hate having these sitting on the floor in the garage but I was planning on building hangers after mudding and painting my attached garage, however, I don't think that is going to happen until spring due to setting up the shop and finishing the yard taking a bit longer than I originally thought it would so I'm not waiting any longer.
And I painted them with the same Rustoleum Hammered paint.
Lastly, my two large milk crates of drop pieces that were under my welding table in my last shop I organized into cabinets that I picked up from my local Universities Geology Department.
One crate down and one to go.

Another small project to aid in the organization.
I fabricated a small stand to hold hydraulic press accessories that would reside between my drawer cabinets and the press itself.
Pieces cut and ready to mock up.
The two sides clamped together awaiting welding.
Painted using Rustoleum Hammer finish grey paint.
Fits perfectly in its new home.
Loaded and ready for years of use and abuse.
I organized and labeled my divided drawers, the label maker got a workout.
Completed. I ended up with about three extra drawers for future expansion or growth and several of the drawers have some space still available as well
Some random pictures of a few of the drawers.
A few random pictures of the shop without boxes stacked around and with the equipment finally all in place.
My surface plate that has been buried under boxes for the past year can finally be seen again.
Lastly, I made a holder for each side of my TIG welder to hold my TIG Guard rod holders. No more being stacked in a corner where I have to dig through them to find the one I need.
