Default Awesome!

WOW! Great quality workmanship and you obviously spent some time thinking about the layout and usability of the space.

I use those same Sortimo storage boxes (heard about them from the same source - Adam Savage Videos), and I, too, use Kaizen foam to help organize the tools, and I'm a big believer in French Cleat tool boards.

But myshop doesn't look NEARLY as good as yours

Thanks everyone! I've found it therapeutic to knock together these kind of simple cabinets. The new place is definitely an improvement over my old dark and poorly-organized garage.

Yep, the compressor is lassoed to the wall and all the plastic cases on the shelves are empty.

Absolutely beautiful shop. Thanks for sharing! When I am done with the RV-10, I think my shop may get a makeover, and that French cleat system makes a lot of sense.
