Let's Get Organized! Scrap Wood Screwdriver Holder

Today's project is another scrap wood creation: A Screwdriver Holder. If you're anything like me, you have tools EVERYWHERE!! It's crazy because my projects would go so much more smoothly if I had everything organized. So, I'm sharing an easy project that did just that for my TONS of screwdrivers. Take a look at my YouTube video for detailed instructions:


Here is the list of items I used for this project:

  • I used leftover wood from a previous project, but this holder can be made in whatever size you want. Therefore, I won't give specific dimensions. The one I make in the video is 1" (actually .75") x 4" x 6". 
  • I used Balusters for my 6" legs. Again, you can customize your holder by making longer or shorter legs, but you want to make sure that the screwdrivers can hang freely. 
  • Wood glue
  • Wood Putty (comes in different colors) or Plastic Wood (Optional)
  • Minwax Penetrating Stain (I used Red Mahogany)
  • 2.5" #8 screws (I used exterior screws because that's what I had on hand)
  • Drill
  • 1/4" Drill bit
  • 1/2" Drill bit
  • 3/8" Drill bit
  • 5/32" Drill bit (These are standard size drill bits that come with most drill bit sets)
  • Rubber/vinyl gloves
  • Goggles
  • Vapor Mask

If you decide to make this, I'd love to see it!!

This was a really fun and cheap project and I wish I had more places to put more! I feel sorry for my family that just might get custom paper towel holders for Christmas this year!!! YOU GET A PAPER TOWEL HOLDER! YOU GET A PAPER TOWEL HOLDER!!! 

At any rate, here is the supply and cut this for this SUPER EASY project!!! 




The most expensive item is the Forstner drill bit, but that is something that will be used again and again, so just look at it as an investment in your toolbox!

Link to the dowel which you'll get several uses from since you're only using 11.5"!

I'd LOVE to see the different customizations of this project!!! Come back and share!!
