Simple Hacks For A More Organized Shop/Garage

Doug started his own YouTube Channel One Eye Customs youtube.com/c/OneEyeCustoms

The best part is when he said “I don’t waste time going to bars, and I don’t waste time watching sports. This is what I do with my time.” Amen to that brother! Thought I was the only one that felt that way.

I clicked on this video thinking that there was no way I'm going to watch an hour long youtube video no matter the subject matter. i was wrong... Very much enjoyed this video. Thank You

This will help me so much. My husband died three weeks ago, and I am trying to figure out how to organize everything in his shop. He was a master mechanic, and the amount of tools is mind-boggling. This will give me a place to start and is so helpful. I really appreciate all the great ideas, because by God, I am going to learn to use all those tools.

The ceiling mounted Vacuum and Bench grinder on a barn hinge blew me away! GENIUS!

This video has been the best hour I've ever spent on YouTube. Thank your neighbor from the community!

I have a small shop and know the importance of tetris skills. This guy had me captivated...I LOVE repurposed stuf Among the many great ideas the can shaker blew my mind🤣👍👍

The hinged bench grinders are gold! Also that crazy hack for shaking spray paint cans using a reciprocating saw and old blade, WTF?!?? AWESOME!

Paraphrasing - If you have time to look for it in the disorganised shop, you have time time to organise the shop. That’s pure gold! I’m inspired. Thanks, guys.

Doug seems like a good guy ... the kind of guy who deserves a microphone of his own, so we can hear what he's saying.

Wow. This is a treasure trove of ideas. Loved everything, especially tray to catch mess under band saw, floating table top with storage for long items inside, trailer hitch and door hinge mounted bench equipment, vacuum and air hose equipment mounted on ceiling, and so much more. Thanks for sharing!

Hands down the fold away grinders under the table. Excellent way to save space. Also the removable table vise!

I didn't get 30 minutes into this video before I had to go out to my garage and start cleaning and reorganizing. This is chock full of brilliant ideas.

I have a confession to make. I have gone back and watched this video multiple times. There are so many great ideas and things to see in this video that you just can't absorb it all in one or two "watchings". I am 60 years old and I can figure out how to organize things on my own, but seeing what Doug has done has shown me ways to organize that I would never have thought of. I share Doug's thoughts on being clean, neat and organized in my garage and seeing what he has done is very inspiring to see it all in completed form. This video should be required to be viewed by all us garage guys on You Tube. I have shared this video with all my friends and we have all discussed it amongst ourselves. And then your other video "Garage Makeover - The Hardest Part Is Getting Started" is the next logical step in implementing some of the ideas from this video. Adam your workbench makeover turned out great. Thank you for sharing this great information.

The best part was the Western PA "accent"..."...like isss....like attt...an attt." I moved to S. Jersey from Pittsburgh almost 30 years ago and you don't realize what you had until it's out of your life. Thanks for sharing the hacks. I'm starting to organize and rethink my tool organization tonight!

I don’t ever comment on videos. But Neighbor Doug’s workshop is awesome! It’s hard to pick one hack as I say they’re all useful. But putting the air hoses and shop vac up and out of the way are my favorite. I’ll be figuring on how to make that happen in my workshop.

I have a magic garage. Anything that gets put in there, you will never find again until you buy another item just like it. Then presto-chango the missing item appears.

This level organization is not only a time saver but a cost saver. I have purchased the same tool or screw many times over because I just can’t put my hand on it and it would take me longer to find it than to buy it. What he’s doing will save you hundreds of dollars.

Favorite hack? I am in love with 85% of them and will eventually find a way into my shop. The stanley organizers for hardware on the shelf will be job number 1. Mainly due to fact that i have them and and i can't stand having to unstack them to get to specific hardware that i need for a particular diy job!

The stainless steel workbench is essentially what commercial kitchens are outfitted with. So check out a kitchen supply store or look for restaurant salvage. If you can catch a retail store being demolished, they will have heavy duty shelving and maybe carts too. Old discarded shopping carts have a ton of potential. Remove the basket but keep the handle and you have a sturdy dolly that could probably hold up anything short of a car engine. It's certainly capable of hauling around heavy bags of concrete and buckets.
