Shop Design And Storage Ideas

[70_440-6Cuda]

Hey all, some may know I recently moved and fortunately now have a 3 car garage in soccer mom town so I am feeling pretty fortunate.  problem is I have more square footage and way less room since I emptied my storage unit and lost the 200 SF storage loft I built at the old place (not enough height for that here).  There are also a lot of very nice cabinets already installed, but not geared towards a "shop" - think more like closet organizers. 

I had a large lower cabinet / work bench built in at the old place, and had 6 drawers filled with organizers for screws, hardware, electrical terminals etc etc, all organized in yellow plastic bins, holding smaller bins with all the screws and things, was really nice.

I am thinking about getting a roller tool box that could accommodate, but thought it is a good time to get new ideas.  I also have a TON of tools: hand tools (in a large Snap-On roll cab), and LOTS of power (more for construction) and air (automotive) tools.  Most of the electric power tools are bigger and in cases (sawzall, hammer drill etc) plus a portable table saw and 12" chop saw.  You get the point..

I have been considering getting rid of a lot of tools since I really dont have any home projects I plan on doing any time soon, and I have a tendency to buy a tool even if it is for a single use, and generally I buy a high quality one rather than generic and "justify" it because quality tools are better to work with and just last longer - not forever like my grandfathers aluminum Milwaukee drill with cloth wrapped power cord - but we all know the quality of a tool makes a difference (so I convince myself)

OK, I am droning on.... what are you all doing for creative solutions for storage and your shop utility?

I do not have a ton of floor space so need to get creative - power tools are all piled and stacked on top of each other in cabinets that are hard to get to and not deep enough - not functional at all
