"Hi, this is Jon, and in the clip I'll be talking about tool storage. Now once you've accumulated a number of tools, it's always good to build some type of a storage unit to house all of your tools so you can find them and so they don't get damaged. In this particular storage unit we've just taken some pegboard and screwed it up against some 2x4's and we've used some pegboard hooks to be able to hang some of our tools. Additionally we've designed some other storage type devices to be able to accommodate the different types of tools. Now there's really an unlimited number of possibilities that you can use to hang and display your tools, but you always want to keep in mind that the bottom line is to be able to keep your tools safe from getting damaged and so that you can find them every time you need them. Here we have another storage system just for some simple palm sanders, and we've put those on rollers, made that into a drawer, and those are all located in a cabinet that locks. Now it's always very important to keep all of your tools locked up or out of the reach of anybody who doesn't know how to use them, or especially children. Additionally you'll notice that all of my tools are labeled so that if for some reason I'm using all of my doweling jigs and I forget where they go, I just look at the label and I'm able to put them back. You really want to create a method that works good for you. If something doesn't work, change it and use something that works better. "
