Build a power tool rack.

To start grab a couple of 2x6s then cut two 2x4s. Lay pieces on floor and build a couple of 2 square boxes from the 1 x 4 s. You ll make three separate rectangular frames that will be fitted together after completion. Attach the power strip.

Take your tools wherever. Set 2 x 4 posts in corners and nail in place to create top banding.

To build it find your largest power tools and design their cubbies first.

Set other banding on top of some 4 x 4 s to set the same height off the floor as for the bench. And 1 x 2 s for dividers. Once you ve got the largest dimensions figured out continue filling in space with dividers nailing or screwing through the top bottom and middle boards. Screw the inch wood screws into holes.
