Well, the shop has gone from being replaced, to no money for it, to perhaps entertaining the possibility again. I still don't really have the money to replace the structure, but I will get help prepping the ground for it and another equity-building project. While the outside of the shop is the worst it's ever been, the inside is perhaps the best.
If you've read my Festool thread (which will get an update soon), I've gotten myself a few of the systainers and the tools that come in them. Plus a few more to store my own stuff. Those needed a home. I built this sysport bases on a model called Chaos Theory by Guido Henn. It is a bit less than 7' high in total, sitting on Ikea kitchen cabinet legs. All the systainers are on drawers, and there are adjustable shelves above. Right now it holds eight systainers, but I need room for at least three more right now, much less for future expansion. Another may be in the cards.
I also finally built storage underneath my workbench. Socket set, drawer of random stuff, drawer o' fasteners to this point. Will fill it out as the days go by. I've made myself a huge pile of scrap to break down, and then it will be time to make a decision on how best to save space with the miter saw, a redesign (potentially) of the router table, and a few more finer touches.
Some recent pictures. Starting with a couple weeks ago. Warning, 56K.
Putting the hot melt edge banding on with my new travel iron.
Building the sysports.
Lower portion done, awaiting drawers.
Upper portion done.
Cutting the drawer sides and fronts.
Testing...
Yay!
Workbench cabinet - gap left for holdfasts to work.
Socket drawer - still brilliant.
Fastener drawer in-progress.
