  My dad was a great one for keeping his shop neat and organized. (I =
just wish I had inherited some of those organizational skills.) For =
large tools, hang them on a peg board, and, using adhesive shelf paper, =
make an outline of the tool where it hangs. This way you can more easily =
identify the tool, and it has a place to go to when your done using it. =
For smaller tools, get a set of drawers, and put like tools in each =
drawer, (screw drivers, pliers, regulating tools, etc.). Be sure to mark =
each drawer, so you know what's in them. You can do the same thing for =
parts. Keep  parts in a box, and label the box. If the box is too big to =
fit in a drawer, put it on a shelf, but put a lable on teh box teeling =
you what's in it. If you really want to be organized, keep the parts in =
alphabetical order.=20

  Now that your tools and parts are organized, the next step is to get =
everyone to put tools and parts back where they belong when they get =
done using them. That will probably be the most difficult job of =
getting, and keeping, organized.=20

  Hope this helps.=20
