Work Bench Has Wooden Racks Underneath That Hold Plastic Trays
    Roy Huntington, Joplin, Mo.: “I use my 2,500 sq. ft. shop to maintain farm equipment, build furniture, and do welding work. I built a 35-ft. long work bench along one wall, but instead of adding shelves or cabinets above I made a series of wooden racks underneath that are designed to hold plastic trays. I bought them at a local restaurant supply house for about $8 apiece. The trays slide in and out of the racks easily.
    “I keep tools such as sanders, skilsaws, and routers in the trays along with items such as glues, rags, and sandpaper and label accordingly. I always know right where everything is since nothing is hiding inside a drawer somewhere. The trays have raised edges, which makes it easy to lift and slide them out so I can take them with me to the job site. I’ve expanded the concept to other parts of the shop where I store battery chargers, paints, auto parts and other things. By the way, that’s Amelie The Wonder Dog in the photo.”
