Organizing a Communal Woodshop with Systainer

Woodworking, Hand Planes, Pick & Pluck Foam, Soft Base Foam

I work at the Kansas City Woodworkers’ Guild, a communal shop. I use Systainers to keep things organized.

I use a couple of XXL for the base. The 337 holds various table saw blades, larger router jigs, and little-used tools. The 237 holds my bench planes and joinery planes. The other M sizes hold Festool machines or task specific tools like for veneer work, gold leaf, or sharpening.

I used the Rigid Pick & Pluck foam to keep the plane from banging around as well as the Soft Base Foam to protect the Systainer from sharp plane irons.

I also have Systainers on my shop cart keeping frequently used small hand tools close by.

What’s great about using the Systainer system is everything has a place and it’s easy to find the right tool. Storage is a breeze, just pack it up and roll to my storage area.
