My shop is 12 x 24'  and I have split it into 2 sections.  The first section is 12x16' and is my primary work area. below are some pictures of the shop. Along one wall I have put a bench that I built for storage and for a work surface.  In the center of my shop I have my primary work bench.  Both of my benches have been built to match the height of my table saw so when I am gutting large sheet goods it will ride on them, making it safer and easier for me.

Here are some storage tips for you.

To store clamps try this:      

    There has got another piece of wood that runs between the rafters for my long "bar" claps to rest on.

To store sheet goods try this:

All three cross support pivot so that it makes it easy to place your large sheet goods up with one person.  The pivot point extends from the wall about an 1" so that there is support when lifting the goods into place.  If you have more than one item in the rack don't try taking them down all at once.  If you try you will get hurt.  You will have to slide the pieces off until you are down to one sheet.

To store Your Paints and Polyurethane

Clean out the rim of the can using your paint brush then go ahead and replace the lid.  Ensure that the lid is on securely and properly.  Then clean the rim again using a rag.  Once you have the rim clean store the can upside down.  Paints and Polyurethane tends to form a film on the top when stored right side up.  By storing them upside down the film is formed on the bottom (if it forms at all).  I have been doing this for awhile now and have not had any film form.  When I forget to do this a film always forms, especially on my polyurethane.
