Your best (cheap?) organization tips and tricks

IME those eventually buckle under weight and stress.

Wire foodservice shelving is a phenomenal deal. Five shelf 18" x 48" versions at Costco. Bigger and smaller versions generally cost more per square foot. Huge assortment of options at a commercial restaurant supply, still compatible with the generic stuff.

These are pretty handy to have in the hunting/reloading room.

Shelving is nice provided you don't weight it down a ton, or it'll buckle as noted.

I have a few of the three drawer plastic storage "bins" where I keep brass and some other odds/ends. Too much weight and they will buckle as well.

Hmm, I have a couple loaded to the hilt with all kinds of gear and they're fine. The metal ones are better though, I forgot I have those too in the canning closet.

Either way, shelves are nice. lol.

Definitely not saying they suck haha. I just tend to keep the really heavy stuff on the bottom. I went with metal ones when we moved and it’s been a bit more sturdy.

What are your scales sitting on? Is there a purpose for them being elevated?

Wish my room looked that organized!

they are granite surface plates, can be had for cheap on grizzly. i put rubber feet on the bottom too, helps the scales stay flat and stable.

that pic was from summer of 2022 and nothing was really set up at that point yet, so its not quite that clean looking anymore, but the husky toolbox is amazing for all the little things and helping manage the clutter.

Where did you find/buy the legs to your butcher block countertops? Those look substantially well built compared to what I'm finding locally. I need to get me a set like yours.

they are just premade 8' gladiator tables from home depot, a little pricey but they are good quality tables. I put steel L brackets on the back drilled into the cinderblock wall. very solid
