SOLVED: Miter Saw Dust Collection. Mostly.

Adjustable Hanging Drill Storage

I think I finally nailed the drill and driver storage in my shop with this cool "adjustable" solution mounted under my cabinets. It's such a simple concept I'm actually mad at myself for not thinking of it earlier. What is great about this concept is that it's not limited to just drills & drivers. You can easily adjust to fit your exact needs and tools. Each hanger is held in place by (2) bolts that ride inside of some parallel T-Track. When I'm happy with the position I

How I Turned This Closet into a Mudroom!

Check out this 2-part video series where I converted a useless closet with sliding doors into an open, functional, mudroom bench with storage! With fall upon us and winter fast approaching we decided we needed to finally tackle the mudroom project in our house. Our laundry room has this large closet as you walk in the house that we thought would be an excellent place to build in a bench and shoe storage to keep everything in order. The first video details the journey of tran
