Notch PVC pipes out to fit your power tools and mount to a wall or under a shelf. You’ll instantly have an organized look and free up shelf space. Use larger diameter pipe for larger tools like circular saws. Find out more here.
The best part of DIY projects is that they can be expanded upon and adapted to fit your exact needs. Don’t forget to check what you already have that can be transformed into a storage solution! Old furniture, the scrap pile of former projects – they all have a future as storage options in your garage or shed.
