    Pics of how to equip a 12x20 shop (Mine)

    Here's how I crammed 10,000 lbs of tools into a 5000 lb shop. A few of you have asked me how my shop is set up. Here's my cram fest. This is about the cleanest it gets too.

    Don't turn around too fast in there! I crammed the contents of a 14 X 36 shop into 1/2 of our new home's garage (also 12x20). If I don't skin my elbows on something, it's been a good day in the shop. Is this your shop's permanent home or are you going to expand in the future?

    I just built this shop the beginning of last year It wasn't supposed to have this many tools. It just ended up like this.

    Wow. That's some serious Systainer action going on there! I guess that stackability does save space.

    That is a very well organized shop for as much equipment as it contains.. May I suggest one thing? Wear a hard hat. Or at the very least, make sure those clamps hanging from the collar tie are tight!

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

    Pretty tough to have many tool gloats without adding on. Gotta like a shop with 2 Incra fences and a miter guage.
