: Speaking of rolling storage, I cut down an old microwave stand so
: it could fit under the work table - the casters still roll
: effortlessly and it is a great place to park whatever tools I
: happen to be using at that place and time. later I roll 'em all
: back to where they mostly live.

That's kind of the idea in my shop. I built a huge 3'x8' worktable and the plan was to have rolling storage underneath. Right now I store rare tonewoods and the shop vac below until I get around to building the cabinets! I also bought an industrial shelf unit, cut it in half, and put one half on casters so it rolls in front of the other. I now have storage that fits in a tight corner that was otherwise useless. One rolls out to get to the one behind it.

Wheels are good!
