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.

Can we assume that you're talking hand tools and such, not floor tools?

I relieve clutter with lots of drawers and pegboard..
I used to use shelves but limit that now because they attract more clutter..

A future project will be a set of shallow cabinets over the bench with doors
made up of 2x1's and skinned on both sides with pegboard, with shallow shelves
inside for those "where do I put these?"items that get in the way on the bench
but seem to be needed within arm's reach..

If you have enough ceiling height, placing things like DC, compressor, planer,
etc. on 12" or higher cabinets can store a LOT of stuff, also..
