dg1127 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey guys just want to share some of the ideas I came up with for my shop. Hope they can help a few people and hope more people post to this thread I have a 11' wide 24 ' long and 7.5 'high shop I try to hang as much as i can from the ceiling I screwed I bolts to the joists and used straps from harbor freight to hold up my air filter so it would hang lowI found planter hangers that are used to hang those rectangular planters off a deck railing to hold my long festool track and pole bracesTook scrap aluminum window frames from a job screwed them to the ceiling and I slide my panel cutting jig in and out when I need itHad some left over 3" pvc made a few drill holders and one for my plumbers torch Hope these are useful to someone.

JimboS1ice Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Like you use of space, the pvc drill holders are gaining popularity.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Very nice organization there dg, cool ideas. Will definitely like to do some things like you did. My ceilings are a little too low. Anything I hang has to be done on the sides so as I don't bash my head on them lol. I'm 6,2 and the ceiling is like 6,5ish maybe. Even with lighting it's a pain it has to be recessed to avoid my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Very cool dg I really need to take your Tios and do something with my garage it's a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Slick setup on the pvc drills holders, first time I've seen something like that. I use short pieces of 1-1/4" pvc vertical to store pipe wrenches in my SprinterSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Harris Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Good ideas dg! As soon as the weather breaks I'm going to get started on my garage. Plan to use as much overhead space as possible. Like the idea of track storage on the ceiling. Thanks for the inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Nice job! I'm in a compact shop myself so ceiling storage is a grand idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordraw Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Those are all good ideas. I am thinking about hanging my "Jet" air cleaner and that would be a good way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I put in a Grizzly air cleaner for a friend, the blower wheel seems to wobble back and forth a lot, but very little shaking/vibration. Does anyone else have an air cleaner that the blower wheel seems to be off a little? I know they balance the wheels with weights, but it seemed very unsteadySent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 In my tool trailer I built wood framed shelves and put hinges on the side against the wall, and used a ratchet strap across the front to hold it into position. If I ever need to use the trailer to haul my motorcycle or move, all I need to do is release the straps and they fold flat against the wall in seconds. Great, cheap, universal adjustable hangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
