Workshop and Tool Organization
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Re: Workshop and Tool Organization
Nice idea but I would add some kind of guard in case of accidental brushing against the storage bracket. Too easy for one or more of them to fall and either bend a shaft or in the case of a cut off tool damage the disc and have it come apart during use (personal experience here).

I don't think a guard is necessary, you can't make air tools go up hill. The table gets moved around the shop as needed. As rough as this 30 or 40 year old concrete is the air tools stay put.

Re: Workshop and Tool Organization
That is a good idea but I would add something that flips up over the ends to keep out dust, dirt and the debris from accidently sweeping the table the wrong way.

I use the same material, but store tools upright and screwed into the wall.
Near the door, blow guns, tire filling chucks...on the back wall less often used body tools.

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

Re: Workshop and Tool Organization
Only real problem may be a with ends facing upwards all the dust, dirt, filings and crap in the world can fall into chuck insert (stud) and gum up air tool when you lube then periodically...

give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

They have those little vacuum hose covers that could be slid over the open ends of the air tool quick disconnects; problem solved unless one goes on a trip and you don't. Thinking about it; no matter how you store the tools, the covers over the ends of the air tools is not a bad idea.
