I call upon the powers of Chaos.
Tools multiply. No matter what 'neat' solution you try, it always fails as the number and variety of tools overwhelms it.
At the moment my two workspaces both end up like:
* Random pile of small recently used tools on the side of the bench.
* Small cheap metal drawers under my 'electronics' bench (which is small and used for everything including sitting here typing.)
* In the larger mech workshop, a mix of wall pegboard, shelving with boxes, boxes under the bench, and lots of metal filing cabinets. Those I've never had to buy, just picked them up for free - mainly street tosses. Hmm, rough count, there are about 17 file cabinet drawers full of tools of all sizes.
