It's wonderfully fulfilling to have a hobby where you have to use your hands. For one, it forces you to take a break from looking at screens all day long. Working with wood, for instance, is incredibly meditative and is a great outlet for your creative ideas, barring the odd splinter here and there. And if you’re anything like us, the smell of sawdust makes you smile, too.

Having spent many hours documenting clever shop storage solutions in visits to woodworkers around the country, Asa Christiana incorporated some of the most ingenious when building his own shop cabinets, most notably from Clark Kellogg. His system includes tongue-and-groove drawers with labels, plywood shelves that can be set to any depth using a series of slots, a stack of shallow drawers for sandpaper and disks, and a place to add a clamp rack.
