That, and the fact that all those tools sitting out there on shelves
are going to be covered in dust after the first sanding effort. I'm
starting to find that drawers and cabinets are an important part of
keeping things dust-free.

The shelf's a little too small for me too. For the tools that don't have
a case of their own, or those I use frequently enough to make re-casing
a pain then I have a foundling cabinet- a wall rack of square foot
cubes- each is big enough to hold a couple of tools, or one tool plus
accy's, or a mess of drill index kits, or whatevers. Even have room for
a cube for books and catalogs.

if I did that it would fill up the whole wall, and I'd have to
separate the power toys from their accessories. I'd much rather keep
them in their own cases or in kits of a few tools and the appropriate
small parts.

I guess old habits die hard. In my days as an itinerant carpenter I
kept my tools organized in canvas bags. some bags have tools of
similar function, some just similar size or frequency of use.
Now I have a shop and am tending to put tools in roll around cabinets
full of drawers.

Nice if you have the wall space, which I have none. I'm using an old
child's dresser I picked up for $10. It has five drawers of various
sizes, plus a cabinet with door that I added a shelf. Keeps the dust
off my tools, plus any parts or manuals together that go with the
tool. A bonus is the dresser top where I change bits or blades. The
dresser is sugar maple. You might find one in the newspaper or
"trading times" radio program. Cheaper than making your own.
