Two-Sided Toolboard
"I love doing mechanical work but hate looking for shop tools, so I used a 4 by 8-ft. sheet of plywood to come up with my own two-sided toolboard. It mounts on an angle iron frame and rides on rollers. It lets me roll my tools right out to whatever I'm working on.
  "It's really handy. As soon as I'm done using a wrench I put it right back on the toolboard instead of laying it down somewhere. Whenever I need to use that size wrench again, I know right where it is without having to look for it. The toolboard is narrow enough to fit through a 32-in. wide door. I keep end wrenches and sockets on the front side. All the sockets and end wrenches of the same size line up vertically. So, a 5/8-in. impact socket will have a 5/8-in. standard socket immediately above it. Impact wrenches and hammers, hacksaws, etc., are on the back side of the board."
