Now, onto sheds!
Trying to do woodwork in a shed that isn’t big enough can soon turn into a nightmare! When you are busy on a project it is important that you have adequate room to work.
Here are a few ideas that might help…
· You’ve Got Some Bottle!
If you get an empty two or four pint milk container which is clean and dry inside then it is a brilliant way of storing screws or nails. You can literally pour out what you want and it is easy to move around because of its handle! If you want to store larger nails in it that will be awkward to get out, then just cut out a hole on the opposite side to the handle.
· Make Your Mark.
Hang your tools from screws in the walls by all means but draw round each one with a marker pen. This way you will know exactly what goes where. This is also a very useful way of remembering that you leant something to someone and you are waiting to get it back…
· Know The Odds.
Rather than having a load of odds and sods lying around all over the place make an effort to put them all together in a certain box or tin. You will be surprised just how many ‘bits of things’ can be put in it out of the way.
· An Old Bag.
If you are anything like I am then you tend to leave bits of rag all over the place; then they just end up getting knocked on the floor and getting thrown away. This is so simple to solve! Just hang a carrier bag on the wall and put them all in there out of the way. You’ll know exactly where they are and your workspace will be a lot less cluttered.
