small shop/garage ideas?

Garage journal is pretty sweet, but also depressing. I keep my garage as clean and organized as I can, but there's never enough room.

Yup. I blame GarageJournal for this: Scooter's Corvette Garage

I'm not done but getting there slowly but surely.

I moved last year and had to build a new shop. Its nothing special but it gets the job done. There is a nice backroom that holds the compressor and big tool box.

I moved into a new house before summer and have been working on the inside. I am looking forward to taking the garage from construction storage to a work space.
 
I like it because it’s easier to work with when fitting it up, no threader needed and can cut it with a small tubing cutter, and it looks legit ^^^^

Idk about compressed air, but the shop I was at switched from copper gas lines (argon, helium, etc) to some type of PVC. The copper was actually causing moisture/water to form inside the pipe and contaminated our vacuum integrity welds. It wasnt my theory, but some guy from Boeing helping our shop figure out the problem and that's what they came up with. The problem did go away as a result.
 
I always wondered... I didn't know if there was a method to the madness or reason... Just something to store in my head when I build my garage...
 
Here's my grease gun holder. It's capped at the bottom now, but I'll eventually attached a removable quart container to catch the drippings.

This is an old thread now but I'm redoing the inside of a small 2-car "shop" and the best thing I've done for saving space so far is building the bench at a tall enough height that my toolbox, welder, trash can, etc all roll directly underneath. And its a comfortable working height for me being a tall person. Going to continue this around on the south (left) wall where the toolbox is.
