I built a zip tie holder
-
If it gets really dry where you are you may find you have brittle zip ties that snap apart when you tighten them. Nylon needs a little water for elasticity.
Personally, I still have the 1000-piece set I bought a decade ago in a plastic jar with a screw lid, and I put a little water in the container whenever I notice it's dry.

I've started fights with the claim that zip ties are better than duct tape
-
I have this problem. Thanks a lot for the tip!
-
I find double sided Velcro replaces most of my zip tie use cases.
-
You could put this in a magazine
-
Brb. Gotta go water my zip ties lol
-
OP delivers! Thank you! It looks fantastic.
-
I really like some of the uses of PVC you've got going, especially the drill holders and the slanted ones under the window.
-
Very true, my main issue is having a place for everything.
And also just not putting the tools away properly lol.
-
I am afraid this doesn't belong here, it's far too cool! I'd kill for a workshop organization system like you've been showing off.
-
Thanks. I've even made gutters from it.
I do plumbing for a living, so it's a familiar and readily available material for me. Those are 110, 75, 50 and 32mm drain pipes.
-
Well I'm stealling a lot of ideas from you op, well done. What height did you go with for your bench?
-
Same goes for nylon whipper snipper line; put your spool in a warm water for an hour before restringing. Some people store their line spools in a pail of water.

You need zip ties. A small bag costs a much as the large assortment bag.
Later you are traveling and need to fix something with the trailer. Same story.
You are now a hoarder of zip ties.
-
I love the ones for your drills and airosols. I'm definitely stealing some of these. Thnx!
-
Nice and simple idea!
Do you plan on painting it? -
How do you attach the pipe to the wall for something like the drill holders? I can picture something strong enough to hold up to the weight of a drill
-
The pipes are screwed onto the wooden block above them which is attached to the wall with pocket holes.
-
Nah, I don't see the point. Doesn't need to be pretty - only functional.

Thanks! It's about 90cm high. The distance from floor to the knuckle of your thumb is a good starting point.
