    Thanks for the pic Tim! I see you're another advocate for peg board! ha ha

    I like to roll around on a seat to work on trikes and have wrenches handy. I keep my tires and wheels under the bench on a horizonal pipe too.Click image for larger version.

    Also a vise that can be removed from bench, replace with a wire wheel or 2 stroke motor stand. Click image for larger version.

    It is handy in limited work areas. I also like an extension cord and air hose hanging down from ceiling center. Spooled retractable lines would be great.

    Peg board and steel walls. Harbor Freight sells magnetic hooks, and rare earth magnets. The beauty is you can move them all around without hurting your walls. When things are hanging in plain site - it makes it so much harder to lose things, and trust me, I know how to lose things really well. Also - If I may speak about lighting. LED lighting has become super cheap. I have seven 4' LED lights in my tiny shop. Good lighting makes everything better (except developing film).

    I use a rolling scaffold for painting/drywall work type. It's adjustable platform with climbing rails on the ends. It great cause of limited space. I can roll it out if needed or break it down and hang it against the wall when not needed. Right now it's got tires and rims stacked on top with 4 minis under. I would love commercial shelves but have no room for perminate base unit. So when I need to I roll the minis out then the rack which fits under garage door to pad under overhang. That way I have tare down work area in minutes.
