John, one of the easiest ways to get extra storage and organization in your shop is to build a new base for your table saw. Reclaiming that unused space means lots of storage that costs you neither floor or wall space. Here is a sample photo of one persons solution. It also allows you to customise the height to your personal preference.

Mobile bases are great. For bench top tools look for a "flip top" rolling cabinet that can house two tools. Also if you have a lot of bench top tools a wall rack that holds 4 or five tools mounted on shelves that can be pulled out and clamped to a bench work great.. if you are young and can haul some weight around

tpyke, while you're looking at shopnotes, take a gander at woodsmith too. I think both are affiliated but, they have many ideas with plans. I subscribe to both.

Will do! Thanks

John,
I also have very limited floor space (and wall space). I always think "vertical" whenever I want to add anything. Most everything is movable so as to condence items should I need room. You'll spend more time planning it than doing it.

I know the problem well. I have a 1 car garage shop. I spend more time re-arranging tools so I can use them than working. I keep most of the small stuff I don't use that often under benches until I need it, then pull it out and use it on a single bench. I'm considering the cabinet setup from pg 32 of the Oct 07 Wood magazine. I think I'll modify the work table with a flip top for my planer (that I saw somewhere else recently.) I'll make an oversize removeable table top so I can use it as an outfeed for my table saw and joiner.

Get Shopnotes. There's a beautiful system, with plans. Has a bench with storage underneath, cabinets, pegboard, really nice.

If you PM me, I'll pull the notebook and give you the Volume Number.
