Introduction
Creating a organised workshop is key for your active work on projects.
So we came up with a simple and cheap way of doing it, the more material you upcycle to build it, the more you can reduce the costs.
Matériaux
- 2x plywood (90x60cm, 90x120cm)
- nails (100, 60, 40, 25 mm)
- timber (for the box) + leftover plywood sheets
- long timber (120x7cm)
- boxes
- water bottles (1.0 & 0.5 l)
- solid wooden table (120x70x90cm)
Outils
- hammer
- saw
- sissors
- tape measure
- water level
- square
- sandpaper
- documentation camera/smartphone cam
Étape 1 - Space selection & preparation
- You need a space where you can work, so at least 8x bigger than your original workshop spot
- use a corner of the room (about 2.0x1.0m Space minimum)
- keep lights and accessebillity in mind
- kreate an overview of tools and materials you have
- start looking for a good sized plywood for your tools (big) and your small materials (small)
- use a solid table as base for the construction (at least 90cm high and 70cm deep)
- have a powerplug close to it
- cut the wood sheets
Étape 2 - prepare tools & materials
- sort materials and tools by type and usage
- cut the bottles to fill with materials (screws, bolts, nuts, washers, hooks, rivets etc.)
- place the tools in order on the ground to the sheet (try different setups)
- draw a fine line with a pencil around the tools
- cut the parts for the box and the skrewdriver board and add it to the wall setup
- nail everything to the board and remove the tools
Étape 3 - Fix the boards to the wall
- fix the tool board
- fix the material board
- fix the timber board for extra space (allowing it to remove the table still holding everything in place)

I build my tool shelves in a similar way. Some comments: Sometimes it's good to install the tools once the backboard is already hanging, it's more work but you can use gravity to find out where the tools will naturally land (where the center of gravity is), then put additional screws to align things if you want them to stay in a certain way. Also don't put things too high up that are difficult to reach for short people. The tools shouldn't fall down if they are accidentally bumped by users or other tools. I shake the board and poke at the tools after installing them to make sure they will stay secure.
