Pull-Out Storage Case I never seem to have enough storage space in my shop. This is especially the case when it comes to screws, fasteners, and other odds and ends. Things I need close at hand but don't use every day. So, to store these and other small items, I built a pull-out storage case, like you see in the photo at right. The case is large enough to hold a couple of small plastic storage cabinets with lots of drawers (the kind you find at hardware stores and home centers). I also added a few shelves to store other items. Since I wanted to be able to move the case, I placed it on wheels (see inset at right). A handle attached to the side lets me simply pull it out to get to the items I need and then push it back out of the way again. The case fits nicely against the wall next to my workbench. It worked so well that I built a couple more cases and rolled them next to one another. Now I have lots of storage in a space that would have gone to waste.
