Default Putting 10 lbs. of Tools In a 5 lb. Shop

Well it is about time to do another reorganization of the ole home
shop. ;)

I am looking for suggestions as to what you have done to fit more
tools and supplies into your personal homeshop.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to offer.

TMT

For 10 ft ceilings--make a horizontal rotating device---two plywood ends
a foot or so with 6 or 8 sides and a hole for a pipe in the centre. 6 or
8 1x4s screwed to each end piece-suspend the whole thing from ceiling
horizontally from a couple of boards of a length to lower the whole
thing down to a convenient height. Don't make it too long or it will sag
over time unless you put additional end shaped pieces inside the cage
about every 2 ft or so..

Disadvantages--Dont store diamonds or other hard thingies as they
scratch the glass inside, and perty soon it gits hard to see the
contents. Also, the noise of rotating wakes the cat--which then needs
to be fed.
