Milk Crate Storage Milk Crate Storage No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

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.
