Workshop Organization with Small Parts Organizers and Storage Cabinets - Cabinetmaking

I've tried different organizing solutions in my workshop over the years, but it's time to something new and improved. My method of using peanut butter jars and deep drawers are not efficient for organizing small parts, screws, nails, and furniture hardware. My new plan includes installing some cabinets and using small parts organizer boxes to store all these parts. After visiting a number of stores and doing some online research, I decided to buy four HDX Organizer boxes and a Someline Small Parts organizer box (see links below). I designed and built a cabinet for these organizer boxes. Here are the two previous cabinetmaking videos in this workshop organization series: - How to Make Easy Upper Cabinets https://youtu.be/jrev0itKroc - How to Make a Cabinet for Organizer Box Storage https://youtu.be/3qxmcpocyyA - Playlist for Workshop Organization and Tool Storage - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdSuVz1n16d9ccZh6mEGmtiufzJfHVUR7 As I started to fill the first HDX organizer box with nails from the peanut butter jars I as using, I discovered that it works more efficiently if you keep large nails parallel to each other. That way you can get more nails in a smaller footprint. The HDX box has some fixed dividers and some removable dividers so you can customize the size of the areas you use to store parts. They also interlock so you can have two boxes connected, which make them easier and more efficient to transport outside of the workshop. I'm quite impressed with these organizer boxes. The Someline small parts organizer box works really well for storing the furniture parts I use in my workshop. When I researched what box to purchase, I found that Someline had a higher quality latching system compared to others, so its more durable and should work for years to come. As I unpacked the organizer box, I was also impressed that it came with labels and a marker. This was useful when I loaded up some number 10 screws to label the size and length to easily identify the screws. I like this so much, I may end up buying another one. I had two sets of organizer drawers. One had hard plastic drawers, which I got rid of because the drawers break when I drop them. The second organizer drawer cabinet has flexible plastic drawers, which are more durable and work well for me to store screws in my workshop. I often pull out a drawer and take it to my workbench when building projects. This makes screws very accessible for me so this solution works well. I also added an adhesive measuring tape strip to the top edge as a convenient way to measure screws when I want to return one to the right drawer.
