I haven’t found all of my tools yet, but my home shop is pretty much ready at this point. I hung the pegboard, built the bench and sorted a bunch of stuff into bins. I’m going to build a small table to the right of the workbench for storage from some leftover 2x4s and the boards I pulled down from someone’s else’s half assed closet.

My socket sets, hand miter saw, circular saw, several hand tools, and my soldering station are still somewhere in storage.

This setup is in a one car garage that probably wouldn’t fit anything large than a classic Beetle and has to share space with the family bikes.

    I’m sketching up a design for a rolling cart for my miter saw that I can store to the right of this. I’m going back and forth on if I should do the same for the drill press or just leave it where it is.

      Depending on height you could potentially fliptop with both on the same cart.

      I’m working on a rolling fliptop for my mitre with the opposing side being flat workbench, with foldout arms that come up the same height as my table saw for an outfeed.

        Woah, mind blown! That’s a great idea. Mind sharing any pics/plans/notes for me to crib?

          ack, sorry, saw this a bit late. Youtube has tons of flip tops. I’m doing the arms like this - very similar to how I did my sewing table, but in this case having a slight overhang so I can put tool storage under the leaves.

        And, now that I’ve done some looking at plans and a pile of geometry, I think my drill press is going to be just a bit too tall and heavy to make it practical. But I will put my miter on one, with space for something on the other side once I’ve finished unpacking the rest of my tools.
