Multi-Use Work Shop StorageTable

For those of you who work in small areas or a single car garage (you know who you are), this is for you. I guess like many, I have a tool fetish (you think so?)and I'm always looking for ways to maximize the work space I have. I stumbled on this idea from browsing the Internet plans for shop storage. It's actually a hybrid of several ideas. Like many of you, I have way too many clamps or maybe not enough, I'm not sure but I needed a way to store my bar clamps out of the way. After much cranial exercising, I drew up this idea so here it is.

It's a basic 2"x3" stud frame with interior storage for plastic tubs, surrounded by 1/4" pegboard to hang stuff. Every surface is used, especially the back for bar clamps (I kept falling over them leaned up against the wall! EVIL CLAMPS!)

Anyway here we go. I have the measured plans in PDF form here to download.

Make sure you add some lockable wheels.

Here you go my prettys. Right where you belong. I cut large slots in sections of 2" pvc pipe to hold the bar clamps. Out of sight but there when you need them.

Here's the right side standing in front of the table. Lots of different types of clamps. I used peg board hooks but you can use what you like.

More clamps. We'll that's it. Tell me what you think at emailthetoolman@gmail.com

In hopes that some of you guys would benefit from my work, here's a PDF file of the measured drawing I did in Visio (I love this app). The measurements are pretty close and it gave me an idea of the construction as I built it. Enjoy!
