Here's a file storage rack I made out of aluminum. Just toss a couple bends in there are you're all set

I had to look that one up too. It looks like a base plate for Milwaukee's organizer system that can also be mounted on a side wall.
it would keep things from sliding around the back of the truck nicely.
I have several of their storage bins. Would be helpful under certain applications/conditions IMO.

This looks like a 3d part, and could be complicated to make. For $29, probably easier to buy from HD.

I would probably cut this from 11 ga. steel. Bend the mounting tabs to 90 degrees for wall mount.

I made this battery holder the other day for an employee. It might be useful for organizing. I made it in two pieces and welded it together.

Re: Tool & Garage Organization Thread
This was an idea of mine to utilize more wall space for my sign inventory. I am not too sure I like it and am hoping that some of you have some better ideas!
The picture shows the hooks backwards. At the time, it seemed like a good idea but soon realized that it wasn't...The design will have the hooks forward. This was cut from 16 gauge

Looks like a great idea but what kind of signs are you hanging on these? You must have a specific type of sign you build a lot of that fits hanger well.CCR Custom Metals wrote: Thu Feb 11, 2021 6:40 pm This was an idea of mine to utilize more wall space for my sign inventory.

And any chance you can try to repost the file? I keep getting errors in both inkscape and fusion360 when I try to open the dxf.
Thanks again!

Well, that is one of the problems, it doesn't work for all my signs. I guess I am just trying to see what you guys do to hang multiple sizes on your walls...if you do.sonbakler wrote: Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:30 pm Looks like a great idea but what kind of signs are you hanging on these?

Re: Tool & Garage Organization Thread
Sorry for the delay. I didn't notice the notification. I have been having some trouble with DXF files that I can't open and a friend of mine has been having trouble with my DXF files. I don't know why but I attached mine again. If it still doesn't work I can try to attach the CADCAM file that my program uses. I think my program must be similar to this Fastcut program. I am saving it as DXF R12(*.dxf) in inches. Must be something with different programs?
