i have a 2-car garage turned workshop. i tell my wife not to call it a garage, because that implies you could park a car in it (you can’t). i put all of my benchmount tools on stands and casters. everything is easily accessible when needed. the assembly table and all of the stands are the same height, in case i need to butt them together for more table space. i also added leveling feet to each stand to prevent movement when in use. it’s a pretty handy little system. i cleaned the shop before the pictures were taken, it rarely looks like this. the last 2 pictures are of my family’s old cabinet shop circa 1920’s. the man with the black coat and black hat is my great-great-grandfather, and the man with the white shirt and black hat is my great-great-great-uncle. i love those two pictures, the old equipment is really cool.

Bent, this is a nice shop space in which to work. I like the design of your tool stands. Keeping everything the same height is a great idea and butting them together adds versatility to your shop layout. The assembly table appears to be well built and adding the pegboard storage to it was a good idea. And thanks for sharing the pictures of the old woodshop. Those are a nice part of your family’s history.
Thanks for the pictures of your shop. I enjoyed visiting with you.
