Very simple. Are all your drawers lines out perfectly.?do you have to move something to find something? We have talked about this before... here is a three drawer cabinet I have had since 2005. See anything wrong...

When I was a kid, we had what was called the "junk drawer" in the kitchen.   I vowed to never have one of them, and so far, not.

 

All of my drawers are SPDs -- single purpose drawers -- hold one type of thing and labeled as such.

So it's the only shop you use?

When I did on site repair work, I also had a travel kit in the van.

You guys  just gotta look over me. I think after all these years it's just got me burned out. With one shop closing down and giving me al, the wood and a second shop I had tools in and had to bring them all to one shop kinda overwhelmed me with toooo much stuff...

 

Too much sand paper. 

Too many routers

Too many clamps

Too many saw blades

Too many router bits.

And not enough fishing pools

It's a dream, somewhere in there winning the lottery is part of it.  :D

You made valid points.  While it is just a few people commenting here think about what opposing points of view provide to someone wondering about should I make a cabinet full of drawers and store all my stuff, OR maybe I have too much stuff and need to thin the herd.  Really it comes down to what works best for you in your own shop.  I know mechanics that just shove tools into the top of a cart and work like that.  Myself I have all mine put away nice and neat so they can be found quickly, and I know if something is missing at end of each job when I put them away.

Yes, and I don't do projects for others on a regular basis.  Nor do I travel to work off site.  Would rather work on my own projects, for me and the wife.  :D

Very much so. I still have  3/4 clamp kits in a bag and in the box. Probably another 15 worth I'll nevery buy pipe for. I rarely use pipe clamps anymore...
