Keep everything you can on wheels, makes life a lot easier.😉
 
You can use smart storage shelves to store your tools. You can also consider pegboards to keep your tools organized and easily accessible.
 
Lots of different ideas here for you to consider. I am not a believer in one system fits everything. As you can see I use a combination of lots of stuff. HTH

I try to keep large or heavy things mobile. 2" or 3" cast iron casters from menards are like $4.00 each. HFT has some very inexpensive dollys that work well.
 
Not mine by a long shot but cool ideas!

Sears tool chests, Craftsman workbenh cabinets. A seconf work bench. Use two RACOR Garage storage systems. They work great to install RTTs on the truck

I use little pull out storage drawer bins you can get at any hardware store for screws and nails. The kind that has like 20 small drawers in a plastic case.

An Update to my workshop. I built another Garage to store the camper, BMW now in its place:)

I moved my Table and Miter Saw to the other garage, but my main workshop is still here. I almost went for a New Age system. Those are sweet!

I found a used Craftsman professional cabinet and so all I needed was to fill a 41" space, so I bought another Craftsman bottom tool box and used the top part to my old setup so I could also put my Drill Press saw on it

I still have one Racor lift for my daughters RTT. I ended up having to go with a motorized Aux lift for my Alu-Cab as it was too heavy for the Racor. I love having an 8ft garage to just drive the truck in and install by my self.

I still have the 40 and 200, just not in the shot

Part of how we keep our garage in shape is utilizing our spare/gear room, which was added by a previous owner by shortening said garage a bit. The gear room is more useful for us, as we do a lot of camping, boating, hiking, dogs, daily snowboarding for me in winter, etc, and I usually work on vehicles at my father’s place anyway, which is better suited for it. Its a nice heated catch-all that doesn’t coincide with vehicles, grease, fish guts, etc.

This home is relatively new to us. Today I went to install a bunch of utility shelving and otherwise. Came to find that the added wall was built by an absolute psycho. From left to right, here are the stud centers, confirmed by multiple known-working stud finders from both sides & top to bottom, further confirmed by pilot holes. This is just a part of the shoddy work I came across.

Those damn stud finders. I always thought the two I have were defective because they would sound off constantly, even without pressing the button. Then I realized it was just me :cool:
