Right now my shop is a total mess. I got some free foamboard insulation that I've been working on installing. This meant clearing a spot on the floor to stack the 4'x8' foam boards. Then moving everything away from the wall, cutting the foam into strips to fit between the studs, then moving everything around to get to another section of wall and repeating the process. The main result seems to be millions of tiny styrofoam balls all over the place.
I also slightly redid my end wall. Since I had to take down the shelf and corner cabinets to put in the insulation, I put back up a full sheet if pegboard above my shelf. I also started on my internal walls while I had everything down. I am recycling pallets destined for the landfill for my interior walls. I have a couple sources for about as many pallets as I want. At a truckload of pallets each week, it is going to be a lot of work and take a long time, but it is free. This shop is a study in cheap construction!
Before I had made such a mess of the shop, I made a new stand for my table saw and an outfeed table. The standard under the saw has room for storage, but I don't know what kind of storage I want/need at this point. Drawers or a cabinet with doors. I'll decide eventually. The space under the outfeed table is perfect for my shop vac. I even incorporated a port for a shop vac connection for dust collection on the table saw. It kinda works.
