My wife and I are both tool users, and we share the two car garage. Below is the half of the garage that is my workshop.
The shelving on this side of the shop is made from 1x2 box steel tubing welded up by yours truly. Same story with the rolling drill press stand. Foreground: folding work table, ramps, creeper, folding camp chair.
On this side just some store-bought shelving. Nothing special. Up top: Port-a-band, miter saw, 2nd compressor, oscillating drum sander, etc.
A view of the bench from inside. 14 ft. Formica counter top with neoprene where it counts. The tool bag rotates on a lazy Susan bearing. The task light has a magnifier inside. Lurking in the shadows underneath: a full size Delta table saw. MIG welder in home made cart. Festool wet/dry vac, coupla dollys, 2-step ladder.
Some detail shots: a section of the shelving accommodates small parts bins. The compressor is in the ceiling where it is pleasantly muffled. The tank drain feeds outside via copper tubing to a ball valve on the outside wall. The air is fed down to the separator/regulator and back up to the combo reel. That reel is a guilty luxury but after shelling out the big bucks I have never regretted it. It is sooo convenient.
Using the leftover space behind the small parts bins: compressor switch, paper towel dispenser, pneumatic fittings. I made up those adapters with the short hoses. They all fit into the same valve/ gauge assembly, also pictured.
The obligatory tool box shot.
