I have LOTS of screws, so to store them I made this rack for ordinary milk crates after i realized that 6 of the Large containers of nuts or trail mix that you get it them big stores like BJ’s, COSTCO, fit perfectly inside ( dont ask how I figured that out, The mind runs wild at times) I keep a small amout of the screws close at hand in a bin system on my bench, and refill them as needed. So to make it just get yourself a milk crate measure it a off you go no fancy joinery here. just vertical dividers with cleats for the shelves. any questions feel free to drop me a line.

Patrick,
This is a clever idea. I have several of these lying around and was wondering what to do with them.
They do make a nice stool too.
Thanks for the post.

Great use of the milk crates Eagle. I use jars and fix the lids to the underside of the shelf. you can store heaps of hardware and leave the bottom of the shelf for something else.

Milk crates are great for storage. You have made good use of them here.

awesome idea. i have a bunch. time to build a shelf. was wondering, what size crates are they? I know that there are the square ones and also the rectangle ones that are a little longer than the square ones.

I would really like to know exactly how you made this. I really want to make it but don’t know much about building stuff.

Good idea. I also like these but haven’t put any organization into them yet. I also like the Folger’s plastic coffee cans.
