Default Bench Top Horizontal Mill Stands/Cabinets

Reorganizing a shop recently bought up questions concerning how to get
more efficient storage around a bench top horizontal mill, in this
case a Burke #4 horizontal mill. Any number of similar benchtop mills,
both horizontal and vertical, could benefit from this.

This mill sometimes can be found on top of a massive cast iron
pedestal. While this arrangement serves well for rigidity, it offers
absolutely no opportunity for any storage for any of the needed
tooling that a horizontal mill needs to do its job.

I would be interested in hearing what and how other HSMers have done
to provide efficient storage for all those arbors, index heads,
collets, end mill holders, etc. that are used. I would also like to
hear from anyone who has incorporated this storage in a cabinet or
stand that also allows for the horizontal mill itself to sit on.

Thanks in advance,

TMT
