Organization Ideas for Rocket Building Workspace? (LPR and maybe MPR)

[brockrwood]

I have stackable plastic drawers with tools in them. I have plastic bins with rocket kits in them. I have cardboard boxes with spray paint in them. I have other cardboard boxes with building supplies in them. Nothing is easy to get at quickly. I spend too much time trying to find a part or tool and not enough time building.

Has anyone come up with an affordable way to bring order to this sort of chaos?

I can’t be the only BAR who has faced this problem.

Any ideas appreciated!

bring order to this sort of chaos

Order? to my build area? Most of the time the tool I need is buried three layers down......

I just spent a small fortune on Sterlite locking containers. I’m liking the organization and hoping that it will reduce the amount of time I spend looking for things.

I have a 'warehouse' area of my shop with shelves like Joe Hepworth showed.
Parts and stuff are in either plastic bins (clear and/or marked) or marked cardboard boxes.

Tools are in two large roll-around cabinets with draws.
