I was my garage was that big John. I was stuck with where my tool boxes could go and other storage as well. My "shop", on the other hand, was carefully planned. 24 x 31 and I knew where I wanted things...even things I didn't have at the time of building my shop. I did/do have the advantage, at the time to be able to do scaled drawings and made little scaled cutouts of all the machines, cabinetry and boxes that I wanted, then moved them around to see how they fit the best and most convenient.

How tall are you ceilings? Are you putting in a lift? (highly recommended). I could do some scaled drawings for you if you'd like. Let me know and I will get with you on the details.
