Another vote for loads of shelving.
That is a good ideaYou must of seen my workshop door at work. Simple but it works. Saw is about 2 foot from door as it only normally get used for short cuts, anything longer just open the flap and stick a stand outside.
but I'm not helped by a speech defect (can't say no) and a physical defect (can't throw anything away)
I managed to make about a foot square of space on my bench today so I could do some work, mind you I still had to kneel on the floor doing a bit of welding as there was far too much flammable stuff near the bench to risk welding on there.You have usable space left on your bench? Mines full of bits, tools and useful crap which hasn't been nailed to the walls yet. Or fixed, or sorted. Etc...
I also suffer from TMP syndrome (Too Many Projects )
can get shelving/racking a lot cheaper than that https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=garage+racking&_frs=1
8x16 ...the shed was here when I moved in with the Mrs...starting ground works on a 20x20 workshop soon...as a temporary measure I was going to add a small section on the right side for the compressor .I can then put a lathe in the left hand side then..pillar drill up the top on the left. Power hacksaw just inside the door rhs. My bench needs finishing so I can push that back.How big is that space Spencer? I've got a big(ish) lathe, a mill, two drills, two benches and an huge welder in an 8'x16' garage with enough room to work.
Get that compressor outside in a little shed of its own for a start, I don't think I'd ever use mine if it was in the same room as me, its so bloody loud!
I think you have just about occupied every bit of space there.
Not big enough, mines 20 x 40 and still haven't got room to work. Mind you it's a well known law that you accumulate stuff to fill the space, the bigger the space the more stuff but you'll still end up working in a corner and constantly moving stuff to make room to work.8x16 ...the shed was here when I moved in with the Mrs...starting ground works on a 20x20 workshop soon...

There's a man who needs shelving in his life.
Your walls and ceiling are bare.
