Recycled Workshop Accessories
Tight on money? Try some suggestions from Michelle Beschen's Courage to Create for some cheap ways to build up the workshop:
- Great workshop accessories come from just about anywhere, including thrift stores, garage sales or even your own basement. Especially keep an eye out for all things wood.
- Wooden salad bowls are great for organizing supplies. To transform a full salad bowl set into a cool spinning caddy:
- Drill a hole through the bottom centre of each bowl.
- Use a screw to attach the large serving bowl to the centre of a large, wooden lazy Susan.
- Attach the smaller bowls around the larger one.
- Wooden cutting boards make great portable work surfaces for all sorts of projects. The cutting boards with divided areas are invaluable for sorting beads and other tiny items.
- Trays and divided plates are great for sorting and storage.
- Old wooden pipe caddies are a custom fit for carving tools, craft knives, scissors, pencils and other thin tools.
- Use recipe boxes to store workshop "recipes" such as paint formulas, plans, sketches, measurements and materials lists.
- Trivets with metal or ceramic tops are perfect stands for glue guns, wood-burning tools or soldering irons--anything that gets hot.
- Accordion peg hooks, letter holders and hat racks can find new uses in your workshop.
- Divided jewellery boxes and lingerie chests make great storage for small supplies like screws, beads, tacks or jewellery findings.
- Marble-topped cheese cutters are great for cutting--the wire on the cutter gives a clean cut every time.
- Look beyond pegboard when it's time to hang tools or those fun thrift store finds. Plywood can be used as a hanging surface instead of pegboard.
