Shop ideas

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 low

I found planter hangers that are used to hang those rectangular planters off a deck railing to hold my long festool track and pole braces

Took 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 it

Had some left over 3″ pvc made a few drill holders and one for my plumbers torch [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied][External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Hope these are useful to someone.

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.

Very cool dg I really need to take your Tios and do something with my garage it’s a mess

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 Sprinter

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!

Can’t even walk in my shop right now

I really like the pvc idea.

Thanks guys hope we can keep this thread going with more shop ideas

Nice job! I’m in a compact shop myself so ceiling storage is a grand idea!

Those are all good ideas. I am thinking about hanging my “Jet” air cleaner and that would be a good way to do it.

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 unsteady

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. 

Dang, nice Organization Dg
