Russ came with a great message board topic – How do you store and organize small hardware? Personally, I do it with old and reclaimed wood cabinets and what not. It’s amazingly interesting to see how other people tackle the problem. Check it out.

So when I moved from Kansas City to Austin, I left behind an ideal shop space where there was room for everything to have its place. I had stations set up for wiring, welding, bench racing, etc… The new space in Texas is nice, but it’s just not as spacious and there isn’t enough room to have stations for every activity I end up doing. It took awhile for me to get settled and figure out a solution, but I am finally happy with my setup.

I’ve been in the market for an industrial stamper for a few years now. Last week, I finally broke down and bought a Numberall Model 40B for a plaque stamping project I am working on. These things aren’t cheap (about $800 for a used one on eBay, $1100 new), but man are they something to behold once ya get one. Absolutely perfect for the anal garage organizer that just has to label every tool in their box… or even their box. View details at Numberall.
