Workshop clutter is something every woodworker deals with, especially around power tools like the router and table saw. Accessories tend to pile up — router bits, saw blades, throat plates, wrenches — and before long, your workspace starts working against you. That’s why Phil and Chris from Woodsmith built two smart storage solutions that bring order and efficiency to the chaos: a wall-mounted Router Cabinet and a Table Saw Accessory Cabinet.

In their latest video, Phil and Chris walk through the process of building both organizers from start to finish. Whether you're outfitting a new shop or upgrading your current one, these weekend projects will help reduce clutter and keep your most-used tools right where you need them.

The Router Cabinet is designed to provide compact, customized storage for all your routing gear. The upper section offers space for your routers and larger accessories, while the main cavity is set up to organize your bit collection. A fold-down front panel creates a temporary work surface — perfect for changing bits, doing maintenance, or staging parts for a routing job. It’s built from durable plywood using simple joinery techniques, so it's easy to put together and sturdy enough for years of use. You can tailor the inside to suit your setup, with drawers and compartments that make everything easy to find and access. Get the Router Cabinet Plan

The Table Saw Accessory Cabinet solves the problem of saw station sprawl by putting everything in one spot. It mounts to the wall, saving precious floor space, and features a double-door design that opens wide for easy access. Inside, you’ll find dedicated slots for both standard and dado blades, plus storage pockets for throat plate inserts and other essential accessories. The cabinet is built from Baltic birch plywood for strength and visual appeal, with magnetic catches and routed pulls for a clean, functional finish. It’s an ideal project for woodworkers who want to streamline their workflow without sacrificing accessibility. Get the Table Saw Cabinet Plan

Both of these organizers are designed to be built in a weekend using basic shop tools and materials. They're not just about storage — they’re about making your shop more efficient, more enjoyable, and better suited to the way you work. If you're looking for simple, smart upgrades that make a big impact, these two projects are well worth your time.
