Hardware Organizer

Keep track of small hardware with this handy cabinet.

Adding storage in your shop is always a great thing, but it doesn't do a whole lot of good without some organization. That's especially true for small items that seem to wander off, never to be found again. This hardware organizer is the perfect solution.

In a space just a bit larger than the average kitchen wall cabinet, you can organize dozens of plastic bins filled with all sorts of screws, washers, nuts, bolts — whatever small items you have. The doors swing open a full 180°, giving you complete access to the contents stored inside.

And best of all, the construction is simple — you build a box, then cut the doors off. And the bins hang on cleats made from aluminum and wood.
