Default Shop Storage - How Do You Do It?

I am interested in seeing how others do and what they use for storage
within their shops.

Anything from fasteners to material stock to tooling to ???....how do
you store it and what is it stored in or on?

Anything from the lowly coffee can to a Lista cabinet...let's hear
about it.

Descriptions and pictures would be great.

Thanks

I submit two random thoughts to this thread:

One- Norm did a show (maybe 6 months ago, date uncertain) in which he
built a ww shop in a two car garage. He had many useful but not unique
storage solutions. He did build a goodly number of full extension
heavy duty drawers in the cabinetry and benches. He also lined the
sheetrock walls with open shelved units for supplies such as glue and
sand paper etc. He nailed up plywood sheets on the walls so he could
hang miscelaneous items randomly.

Two- If we woodworkers saved every cut off and end we would eventually
need a storage and work space the size of a Boeing 747 hanger. I
suggest deciding how small is not worth saving, and bite the bullet.
For those of you in the north you can always use small scraps for the
fire place or wood burning shop stove.
