I'm gonna throw this out there for comment. I built a new shop last year for my 56. Last week I purchased a rather large "previously owned" tool box from a retiring mechanic. Lots and lots of space now for my meager, but growing, tool assortment.
My question is does anyone know of a site that gives a person that's as anal as I am an idea as to tool box organization? And I don't need wrench holders or socket organizers, just an idea of an efficient drawer lay out.
Just wanted to see some professional ideas before I just start putting tools randomly in drawers. Very Happy
All I can find is YouTube videos pushing different brands of organizers.

Thanks again David, found some good data.

One idea I really like is rolls of magnetic tape for placing labels on the drawers, that way I can move stuff and just move the labels.
