Wow... At least you have some square footage, but I think you are living on borrowed time there. Snoop might be safer. My garage has limited space and I spent some time trying to figure out the best layout. One thing is that I try to make floor space do double duty as much as possible. The pathway through my garage also includes where I stand at the lathe. I am arranging the equipment, such as lathe, mill, bandsaw in a cube, accessible on three sides, with one side against a wall, where I can position tools (from wall or ceiling), reachable from two sides of the cube on a swivel mount (aimed at mill or lathe). This may not work best for you, but will work in my garage. Having frequently used tools ready at hand is better than a clear frequently used pathway to a remote tool box in my opinion. With limited space, I always try to go "up" w/tools and supplies, minimizing consumption of floor space. Regardless, all machinery and tooling needs to be instantly usable. Nothing worse that having to move crap just to use a tool!
