Some nice set ups, too bad my tools aren't nice and shinney and well organized but I know where they are just not all lined up, in all three stand up boxes.

Having the tools, and the space is half the battle. The garage in the first and second picture is 120 years old. Light and air came in thru every board seam and knot hole. AC was tied into the kitchen run under the driveway. .Did a complete overhaul 6 years ago, sistered, wrapped, sided, man door, new roof and hvac with 100amp service. Was my dream space, them we moved. Back to square one....

Right now my garage is my only space to work on my Bike, truck and car. Right now it is HOT AS HELL!
I'd love AC but I'll settle for doing the work early in the morning.

Inspirational! Some of you set the bar pretty high. 👍😎
Well, I can say that NorthWestern sure did! LOL.
BTW, when I get a new tool box, I do a major purged showing away crap I have not touched in 15 years.
Tool all lined up may not last too long, not in this heat!

THIS!
A co-worker at one place I worked couldn't help but rag on my three upright Craftsman roll-arounds, pointing to his big MAC toolbox. Asked when I was going to get a "real" toolbox. LoL..
I went to my boxes, pulled out a tool, and asked if he had one of these? Nope? Well, how bout one of these? Uh-uh. Hmmmm? Onnna these? Nada!
I then informed him that the BOX is just a place to KEEP your tools, it doesn't make you a dime when getting something done. I invested in, inherited (some of my grandfather's), and bought all the tools as I've needed them. He was making monthly payments on a status symbol.
I have since moved all my tools into two, larger toolboxes, but still have those econo-tower roll-around boxes for my boys as they start assembling their fixit kits.
