Making more space in the shop
I ran out of space in the shop about 10 years ago but I keep adding stuff.
Had all these paint cans taking up a large part of two shelves in a very deep cabinet.
It was hard to find the can I needed. So........
I used up some scrap lumber. Made a piece of 1/2" plywood out several pieces of 1/4" plywood.
Made up 4 inverted shelf brackets using some scrap 3/4" plywood.
Threw on a couple coats of paint and walla. Note the shelf is suspended from the bottom of the brackets.
This allows the shelf to be below the ceiling and still have a lot of useful head space.
I consider it light duty but it will hold all the paint cans I can put up there.
Now I can see my paint. Got rid of some scrap wood. Reclaimed some cabinet space.
Best of all I reclaimed some space that was not being used on the wall.
Still get one car in the two car garage. Several of my tools and tool boxes are on wheels.
Just sayin.....
Oops, now I see some more space below the paint shelf that could be reconfigured.

Cleaning spray can nozzles
Indeed Marv, great way to keep that nozzle clean for the next use.
Another method I use frequently is to remove the nozzle from the can and put it in a jar of thinner.
Let it soak a bit and then use the air hose to clear it. Repeat once and that is it.
Place it carefully on the can or store them in a container for later use on another can if you happen to get one plugged up.
More work but better to have nozzles that you don't need than to need a nozzle that you don't have..
