How do you all organize your drawers?
Mine tend to be a 'piling' system. While that fits a lot into the drawer it means digging through to find what I am looking for, and as I age I no longer 'know' where every little item is. Plus some items I dont like banging around in a drawer (anything delicate, or with a sharp edge)
I see beautifully laid out drawer organizers using foam cutouts. My first thought is if I were to try that I would need 3x the amount of storage (just doesnt seem practical use of space but looks amazing - I feel like I should try it). Other times I see smaller organizers in drawers. And over/under slides can create some 'layers' for a given space.
In fact, I use all three - some drawers are just piled on. Others have smaller bins (I tend to use little organizers from walmart). And a couple I have made fancy CNC cutouts in wood.
To date I have used very little wall space or vertical storage - gravitating instead to drawers (One reason being my shop has limited wall space). Dust collects in my shop so drawers also keep things away from dust (some of you have absolutely spotless/dustless shops which amazes me!). Plus I have a combo of woodworking and auto and metal working equipment.
Of course it will vary wildly for each of your specific circumstances, and it is somewhat philosophical in purpose/style, I am looking for all your great ideas to consider.
What works particularly well for you - share your favorites!
Hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers, sockets, etc)
Planes/chisels (quite a wide range with accessories like guides)
Saws
Clamping (in addition to wall hanging clamps)
Measurement
Tooling (cutting bits, drillbits, sawblades, etc)
Templates, jigs, fixtures
Machine accessories (miters, guides, etc)
Fasteners, bits and bobs, misc
Sandpaper (seemingly every variety known - spindle, belt, sheets, discs)
Hand tools - do you use the boxes they come in or some other storage? Key battery powered hand tools seem to live on top of my bench, with a charger.
Electrical (wire, heat shrink, solder, etc)
Oils, paints, finishes, lubricants, solvents, etc etc (I have a metal cabinet but some of these are on open shelves as well)
