I have too many tools for my shop which is not that big. As a result, most of my tools are on wheels, only five items are stationary, my lathe which is bolted to the floor, my workbench which is home made and very heavy, my drill press which while being a bench top tool sits on a stationary stand, my radial arm saw and my small 14" bandsaw.

All of my other tools are on wheels. My 6" jointer sits on its stand but is also on wheels. My planer is a table top but is mounted on a stand which rolls around and on which are built infeed and outfeed tables.

I keep most of my tools against the walls of my shop so as to increase the open space in the middle. Tools are moved into position when they are needed and moved out of the way when not in use. I have even built a movable stand for my lathe accessories and tools. This allow me to move them into position near my lathe when turning and out of the way when not in use.
