Looks efficient - everything in it's place. Probably not a good idea
to have the sander propped up on its toe - it'll compress the pad at
that point if it's left like that when stored.

Don't paint anything green. Bright yellow is my color preference,
but any light color would help. The dark colors suck up light, and are
depressing.

You need to make it messier. The messier the better. So messy that you can
drop your tape measure and not find it and have to go buy another one even
though you probably already have 37 tape measures. Mess means work is
getting done. At least thats what I tell myself.

What the hell are all those tools doing in all those little places? How do
you stack stuff on them like that?

Great set-up,
I'd love to have a storage system like that, but can't seem to get the
bloody tools trained to go back where they came from ;)

Your prices are too LOW for the quality of your work.

You like working with green wood, eh? :) In my opinion a few thin lines of
light coloured paint might improve the scheme a bit.

Consider adding long French cleats to your walls so you get some degree of
flexibility as to where you can position the wall mounted cabinets.

Now that I like to see. A real workshop with limited space and green
painted plywood fixtures. Tools stuffed into cubby holes. Functional
and Inspiring.

Well after 40 plus years of woodworking you lean....Took me about 20
of those years to grab a tool.... use the tool....then .....PUT THE
DAMN TOOL AWAY...

5 of my 1st 20 years I swear were spent...LOOKING for a tool...
only 30 days of my last 20 years was wasted this way... ...really
makes things much easier knowing exactly where that one screwdriver
is..or where your compass is..or where your french curves are etc..

HOWEVER... I am NOT a fan of cubicals, or pegboard ! I do not liike
to see any small tools when I walk into the shop... ( to be honest I
still do see a good number on mine...BUT most are in drawers etc...)

I like them in drawers, behind doors, etc...for a clean look ...

I really liked the paint ...and this comes from a guy who likes
natrual finishes on cabinets etc... no metal fixtures in a Woodshop
unless I absolutely have to have one... its a wood shop...

Personally, it would drive me crazy to have everything on wheels. Nice
downdraft table--my DD table uses three furnace filters and clears the
air in less than an hour. Put some thumbnails on the page to help us
56K people. I like green too.

Do you really want have to haul out the drill press from down there every
time you need to use it?
