I am working in a complety dis organized lighting and sound booth. Sound was somewhat organized but I'm not sure how to organize. Can you guys help??

Here's the stuff in the cabinets
CD/s (Obsolete for our sound system now)
Tapes (Definitely obsolete)
Safety Cable
Chain
Gaff Tape
Duct Tape
Masking Tape
Bulbs for the lights
Fuses
Compressed air
Lighting gels

We have 3 cabinets to use, each having 3 big drawers... any ideas?

I attached how the booth is set up.

Thanks!! It's great to be part of this community

Use of the booth for storage is obviously dependent on the proximity to the stage where you need stuff. A closet or cabinets near the stage can be more useful, with security being a consideration.

I would hang safety cables somewhere closer to to where you hang instruments, as well as hang them as opposed to laying down in a cabinet.

Gels I would store in a filing cabinet, one folder per color, separate drawer for a different frame size (6-1/4" and 7-1/2" as example).

All else, yes in cabinets and get the cabinets locked.

Thanks for your reply! That's what I think I'll do :) Great idea!!
 
The tape can be stored on a T-bar, (a stick about 6 or 7 inches long with tie line at the center.) That can usually find a corner to hang in. The duct tape should be wrapped in a old paper bag and stored in a far away trash can. Nesting bins help with patch cables, and small items. I like the clear shoe box size. Drawer organizers from an office supply help with the small stuff.

Ok! That sounds like a great idea!! I like the idea of using nesting bins. I've started with what @SteveB suggested with the gels. These ideas are great.... I'm just not sure about about the T-bar because i'm not sure where i'd be able to put it. The booth is like 3 feet between the back wall and the desks if that. I'm just not sure I can pull it off.... I couldn't store the T-bar and tape backstage because who knows who'll take it lol. But all great ideas :) :)
