Starting on the porch and carport ceiling. 

did a little reorganizing in shop today. maybe back onto lathe tomorrow.

Got the drawers all done, now like @Gerald some organization to be done.  Several bins and boxes in the works.  Bought a lot of 40 empty Sucrets / Altoid boxes for cheap.  Already filled 20 and labeled.  Made a holder for one drawer that fits 38 total.

Those make great containers. Where did you find 'em? Been looking at Amazon Bento boxes but, they seem a bit flimsy. The

Working on a lumber rack using 3/4 EMT stuck in wall studs @ 5°. Lotta holes! But, I'm drilling them in the studs BEFORE building the walls. Using a recently acquired trait of foresight.

Servicing the mowers.  They're past due but running fine.  Showing them a little love won't hurt.

Working on brothers birthday gift for next month and got to order about 6 yards of top soil to level out me front yard so not too much going on.

@Gunny, thanks for the link! Not a bad price, either.

Here is 1st tray ready to go.

 

For those wondering how do I come up with layouts.  I have a collection of various containers. Pick and choose for best fit then make a tray accordingly.  Below is picture of new layout for this drawer.  Nothing fancy, some 2x3 plastic gutter with bottom stapled in.  Works till new ones are ready.  

 

 

Something else you can use is pharmacy stock bottles. Most are now round but probably most pharmacies will save some for you.
