Shop storage

@Brento A little friendly shaming/cajoling never hurts to energize someone. I think we can take credit for putting a fire under his Arse.

The only reason it's that funny is I am there.

radio... I can't get a good signal here. Mostly they fade in an out.. I have to put it into mono mode to get most stations... I started using my computer for listening. I listen to one of the college stations... Fordham University... very diverse range of music, from 50s , 60s, - current.

But glad you found your floor, so you can walk over to the radio you didn't know you had down there.

Now that had me giggle a little.

@woodchucker not at all. I sometimes need to light a fire under myself to move onto things.

Storage is one of my problems...

We find a shelf or file cabinet that can be used to organize.

Get it filled up but now more space for stuff...

Another estate sale and more stuff....

Never ends...

I would like more vertical space, if I had it, I would have shelves over my machines. It would make it a usable space. Those big racks for pallets would be perfect. I don't know if they have various length horizontals... I think they do. The problem is my ceiling is only about 7 feet. But to me, this is the most useful way to use the space, vertically.

Guys with big shops can still benefit. Guys with tall shops but less floor space can easily benefit. And if you have any type of forklift, walk behind or drive... you can even put machines on the rack. Putting a lightly used but valuable machine up is a great way to save floor space.

I am out of space and desperate for more space. I keep trying to clean up so I can fit more.. But I'm losing the battle. Since I am a woodworker as well, I need space to build and space to assemble..

New shop will have 12' ceilings. I'm thinking I will build out a 4' deep shelf at 8' up all around the perimeter of the building, much of that with a 3' wide workbench underneath. Lots of horizontal space for things to accumulate.

I just ordered a gallon of Mobil Vactra #2 Way oil.
I was organizing this morning and found a 5 gallon container of the same thing. Full. My lathe uses it in the apron and I use it for the mill one pumper. I can't remember what the surface grinder uses, it holds 15 gallons.
To the OP, don't have layers of unseen stuff. Surprises lurk in those dark spaces.
You don't want my advice

Whew, stuff could get lost for decades up there.
