How do all of you organize your garage?

I'm in the process of cleaning up and organizing my garage. Right now I'm focusing on 'fasteners and small parts' storage solutions.....I've been browsing the web and came across Dandy Drawers... here... Welcome to the Dandy Drawer WEB site

This seems like an incredible bang for the buck storage solution! I might buy a bunch of these unless some of you guys have better ideas?

I also saw some cool cheap parts bins at harbor freight... here... Tool Bins, Parts Racks & Storage Containers


Post some pics of your set-ups!

Thanks!

Current solution in a two car garage until I get the new shop built is racks with plastic totes.. that can be nested or stacked two hi three wide or one hi by two wide for the larger ones on each shelf. They are cheap, clear so you can see whats in them, used often when I need a disposable container.. Every time I stop in a dollar store I pick up one or two.

Ain't the hardware, it's the motivation.

Painful prodding from the spousal unit during menopause drove me to the garage where I embedded myself. Stainless wall mounted cabinets, surplus commercial binnage, marine 3/4 work surfaces, multi-channel old school stereo, mini-fridge, 60' of florescent lighting.

"No dear, I'm not ready to come in yet, just have a little more to do. You can watch TMZ without me."

haha....how did you get a picture of my garage?

I do know where everything's at as long as no one else moves anything.

I live in a townhouse, so I've got three bikes in a 10x10 shed right now. I can fit 5 in there if need be, packed...

Lots of shelving. I'll be putting in some parts bins for random fasteners soon enough (if I can find the space...)
Just jammed a big tool box in there...

I poured a concrete slab 4" thick and built my shed this past summer. Its surprising how much stuff I can fit in there.

Its a fun little beater. I teach MSF, and its an ex-school bike. Its been through hell and back, but it just won't quit.

If it's the end of the world, or a zombie apocolypse, I'd choose the TW, lol.

Its definitly not as capable as a true dirtbike, but it is a jack of all trades. Kinda nice riding something you don't have to care about either. I beat the **** out of it, and it just takes it.
