DIY Tip: A Great Way To Organise Your Air Tools
For anyone who uses air tools or a compressor on a regular basis will enjoy making this handy storage and organisation system.
16/05/2021
When you use air tools or any tools run via a compressor, making everything easily accessible can be a task since most are linked up to a long hose that usually just gets dropped on the floor. This idea lets you use a bucket as the main organisation element and inside the bucket for storage.
The bucket is fitted with a plywood shelf that allows for necessary accessories and attachments to be within easy reach while the bucket is fastened onto a wooden plank using screws and washers to allow it to rotate for easy removal and storage of the hose when not in use.
There are plenty of variations on this theme and we have included a few below that you might want to tackle over a weekend to get your workshop more organised.
HANDY STORAGE CART FOR WELDING OR AIR TOOLS
Everything you need when using an air compressor is included in the design of this handy cart. Made using pine plywood or shutterply to make it affordable, the cart has plenty of storage for a reel and air compressor. It is portable enough to take anywhere you need to work.
Make a handy storage cart that lets you easily transport a compressor and hose to wherever you need it.

Of course, there are many other ways you can look at for organising and storing compressor hose. You could make your own variation of a reel to wrap the hose around.
Put on your thinking cap and think of ways you can add organisation for your compressor hose and accessories.

HANDY STORAGE FOR HOSEPIPE AND CAR WASHING TOOLS
Another household area where you can put this method to use is where you wash your car. In this instance, a galvanised tub is fitted with plywood shelves for storage while the galvanised bath allows a hosepipe to be wrapped around and stored out of the way. Love this idea!
This novel idea lets you set up a car washing station at your home. Use a galvanised tub to wind a hosepipe around and add storage shelves.

STORAGE AND ORGANISATION FOR GARDEN HOSE AND TOOLS
Organising a hose pipe and small garden tools is solved with this idea. An old galvanised bucket is mounted onto a fence and around which you can roll the hosepipe. Affix the galvanised bucket to the support using bolts, nuts and washers so that it can easily turn to wind up the hosepipe when you are done gardening.
Set up a gardening station where you can wind up the hose pipe when not in use and also be able to store your small garden tools for easy access.
