one key is IT IS OK TO THROW STUFF OUT . I dont know how much used sand paper I kept I also kept the scrap balsa , ply wood ( even sawdust) . The tote method allows you to save allof the above , but only till the tote is full .

( I use sawdust to mix with epoxy )
You hit the two biggest disorganization issues squarely on the head! NO system will ever work unless to get into the habit of:


  1. putting things away, back where they belong once you use them, and
  2. continuously and ruthlessly throwing unnecessary stuff out!
No one is ever totally faithful about doing this, but it should be a priority. And although it is true that a little bit of chaos can be the spark that ignites innovation and creativity, so can the fact of knowing what one has and where to find it. I can't tell you how many times in the past that I brainstormed an idea that I then never followed up on because it was to much work to locate what I needed and to clear out enough space to construct it.
