PICS ... I finally finished my garage ....
I have a small house with a very small 2(?) car garage so it was a real challenge to organize it.
I used all of the cabinets from the remodeled kitchen for the garage to store and organize, saw, drills, routers and sanders.
The one thing that I could not solve was how to store the compound miter saw and the table saw to use without a major set up.
I YouTube'd work bench's and found, of all things, a Flip Top work bench.
I made the bench with rollers in order to roll it out to the driveway. This cuts down on the dust. It flips between the miter saw and the table saw.
The guy on YouTube wired in a series of electrical plugs that is fed by one 20amp cord
I now use the bottom to store all the accessories and small drills.
Just a bolt here and a bag hanger there, I'll be done.!

Great! You have organized and constructed a model workshop. Just what I wish my neighbors had! (So I could get help!!)

Thanks David... I had some help with this one.
The slat-wall sheets were a bear to hang, so a neighbor was well rewarded with grilled salmon and a glass of vino. hehe
I still need to run a 30amp circuit through the wall to run everything including the generator and the air hose system needs it too.
I will have a sign in the garage for all to read ...
"This garage is NOT a tread mill, so don't throw your crap on it"
The flippable bench is my favorite part.
