In the wood shop,I use inclosed cabinets to control dust collecting on contents.
Most other work areas have a mixture of open and closed storage.
If I were doing it over I would do as my grandson has. His approch is to arrange and install large equipment and work bench for effecient use then position often used movable equipment. Stand back and choose dead space or a different building for seldom used movable equipment. Choose space for often used hand tool and material storage that is convenuient the where they are to be used. If an inclosed storage with door is desired,peg-board can often be installed on inside and/or outside of doors (extra or heavier hinges on doors). The shop is about ready to start useing but what to do with the 36" pipe wrench,hydraulic ram and items that are regularly used but so large they don't fit well into storage drawers,shelves and cabinets. Otherwise dead space too small for drawers or cabinets are customized which often doesn't require more than large nails or simpile bracketts. At this point majority of floor and wall space has been used and that remaining can be left to temporarly hold projects while in shop as well as special ordered parts and material for current project. There probably will be a lot of dead space above 6 feet on walls as well as ceiling, attic or in the rafters. 18" tall cabinets,shelves and hangers along top of walls can be used for what you might consider deep storage,not easy to eccess without a ladder but sure keeps things out of the way. Those new sheet metal panels you bought for peanuts can be tied to the ceiling or in the rafters until you buy a tractor they will fit.
Taking note of storage/display sulutions like by-pass sliding pegboard in retail stores somtimes will work well in a home shop.
Then there is the all time #1 reccomendation of those who have "been there,done that". When you decide what size a new building should be,double it.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery.
