Individual Tool Storage:

Designating a specific storage location for each tool makes it easy to find and easy to see if the tool is already in use by someone else. Creating a tool silhouette in a contrasting color can be an early project for the makers to help get things started..

Cabinet Master List:

For cabinet storage it’s beneficial to post a listing of the cabinet contents and, if individual bins are included, label each bin with a number or letter and post a master list of what each bin contains.

Work Area Clean Up:

Making basic cleaning supplies quickly accessible increases the likelihood that they’ll be put to good use after each construction session.

Mobility Saves Time & Effort:

Mobile storage units make it easy to bring the needed supplies within reach of the work area, so makers can spend more time focused on their project instead of making several trips across the room.
