How to Make a Tool Cabinet Organizer
I was lucky enough to find a wooden cabinet with a perfect front rolling door in the dumpster,I decided it would be the basis for my tool cabinet. After a long time in which I stored my tools in tool boxes, I decided that it was time to arrange them so that they would hang in front of my eyes and I would not have to spend much time looking for them. Sometimes I even forgot that I had a certain tool because of the mess in the toolboxes. Today most of my work is done at home and so I do not need to take the tools to other places so this is an excellent solution for me. Now I just open the tool cabinet and immediately start working.

Thank you!
I took all the tools out of the boxes to see the variety of tools and sorted them into categories according to technology:wood, metal, measuring tools, screwdrivers and so on.
I bought wooden sticks 8 mm thick. I held each tool against the back of the cabinet and marked in pencil the locations for the drilling.I drilled with an 8 mm drill marked with a masking tape the desired depth for drilling.I sawed the wooden sticks 4-5 cm long, I smoothed the edges and tapped them with a hammer. Tight tolerance keeps them in place without moving, in the future if I want to change locations I can just pull them out, or saw them.

I made a shelf with holes and grooves for screwdrivers and chisels.At first I arranged all the Screwdrivers and chisels on the table and measured the gaps between them and the diameter of each one.I took a wooden profile (20x40 mm) and marked it for drilling, I cut the edges at a 45-degree angle so there was room for a screw to hold it to the cabinet.
I drilled 10 mm holes for all the toolsand to the chisels I also opened a groove with my Jig-Saw.Then I sand everything with Orbit Sander.
From the broomstick I made a rack for the clamps.In the picture you can see a nice method for quick sanding of the stick.I attached a screw to the stick and I grabbed the top of the screw with the drill ,I turned it around and smoothed it with sandpaper.

Your materials list includes a Go-Pro and tripod. Those made me giggle. Will they help my tool organizers turn out as well as yours did? :-)
