It has two columns of drawers and is about 5’ wide, then I have about 10’ of cabinets up above for oil and stuff. Sockets are on a drop on organizer on the workbench top, and the really big stuff hangs on the pegboard. But yes, I could always use more tools.

Geez, tough crowd. OK:

I bought some stock room shelves from a department store that was going out of business. All the fasteners and the drawer units are on it.

All my power tools that I keep in cases are on the top shelf. All my chargers in one place
The "throw crap here" shelf is actually two shelves - for now. I might actually resort to labels on the plastic boxes that I keep things like the pop rivet gun, Oetiker clamps, staple gun, etc.

Next spring I'll start on the shop in the barn, where I'll work on the cars, mower, etc. right now it's just a dream.

The condition of the inside of my tool box is shameful. When people ask me what keeps me up at night, I think I'll show them this picture,

That looks really good Patrick! It's so nice to get stuff off the bench and the floor.

(Hijack alert! Hijacking the thread now! I should be flamed!)

My advice to everyone who can drink responsibly; don't ever quit.

Social levels of alcohol use isn't in my DNA, so what used to be cocktail hour (after hour) is now filled with old man activities, such as making labels:

I love my Dymo labeller.

Making more steps on the road to getting organized. Last summer I bought a Drill Doctor to sharpen the dozens and dozens of drills I have. I was in the middle of a couple of projects and didn't have time to sharpen drills so I bought a Milwaukee drill set. Today I finally got started on the drills.

I had well over a hundred random drills laying around. The first job was to get them all in one place.

I mostly used a magnifying glass to inspect the condition of the drills.

Out of curiosity I put some of them under a microscope to see what the edges looked like. This 1/2 drill didn't look bad under the magnifier, but the 'scope revealed bad chipping.

The Drill Doctor leaves a rough surface behind. This is probably OK for a consumer job, but there must be something better that the pros use. I have a friend who is a machinist ans he sharpens his drills by hand on a belt grinder. They look beautiful.

This 1/2 inch drill was so bad I had to run it through 4 times.

Once I got things straightened out I started grindin' drills and filling the indexes. I bought that Milwaukee set in August because I was too busy to sit down and learn how to use the Drill Doctor. It only took a week for the guy working for me to lose most of the drills out of it.

I filled all these today. I know I've got some more around here.

I sorted the surplus drills by size and type and put them back in the bins.

I really like this Bosch drill index. It has holes in it so if you are switching back and forth between multiple drills you can stand the ones you aren't using up in the drill index. No watching them roll off the scaffold or getting lost.

One of my goals in life is to own just one really good set of drill bits. I'll lock them in a safe so no one can use them but I'll be able to tell people I have them!

That is amazing Mike!

Try these. They are very good.

That is so beautiful to me.

You are doing it wrong.

Not until the slope of the pile of stuff on it becomes to great does the surface become unusable. I've learned avalanches, though worrisome, are a necessary evil.
