Well, I told you when I got back from vacation I would post a few photos of my work area. Bare in mind this is only the ship building/leather crafting side. I have another half of the garage with two more benches that are for wood working of larger projects. I'll post a couple of them later so you can see my builder side as well.
Note a few things, First, the models I am giving away are on the to[p of the shelves (yes, they do exist and will go out as soon as I get my butt in gear and get some boxes) and second every single drawer is labeled. I work my brother label maker to death sometimes.
Also note my judicious use of magnetic tool holders. Every small pliers sets of every kind, and hand held tool is on the overhead racks.
The low black tool box has driver bits of every kind imaginable, dremel bits and pieces, sharpener tools, some powered some manual stones of grits from 180 up to 8,000 grit. The tall black box is metal working and electrical and wood working tools. more drill bits than any dentist would own. I built a rack for all my different types of tape. The small plastic drawers are for clamps of all sizes, paints and more paints. The main two benches are for the Vasa work area and the Vasa wood , photos, plans and the two Ships of the Line books I just got.
But, just like all of you, theres so many small tools ferreted in every corner it's hard to show them all.also like you, I seem to know where everything is at any given time. I included two pictures from the other side where I do wood working so you could see one way you can create more space when you need it. I built a "door" that on the front side holds half of my battery powered hand tools and the back side of the "door is my clamp rack. You can barely see, but I used 6 4" barn door hinges so the weight would not be a problem for the door.
