I haven’t found all of my tools yet, but my home shop is pretty much ready at this point. I hung the pegboard, built the bench and sorted a bunch of stuff into bins. I’m going to build a small table to the right of the workbench for storage from some leftover 2x4s and the boards I pulled down from someone’s else’s half assed closet.
My socket sets, hand miter saw, circular saw, several hand tools, and my soldering station are still somewhere in storage.
This setup is in a one car garage that probably wouldn’t fit anything large than a classic Beetle and has to share space with the family bikes.
How is that top shelf secured? Do you have it screwed into the bench or to the wall or both?
Both! The back leg of the top shelf is also the back leg of the bench. The middle one is screwed into the frame for both the bench top and the lower shelf. The entire frame is both screwed and glued, with the tops just screwed in so they’re replaceable. Finally, I have a big L bracket at the top screwed into the wall to prevent tip over.
I’m planning on putting a small lip on the top shelf to prevent the bins from falling down during small earthquakes.
