Carol,
A tip for using those plastic bins: I use one of those wire shelves like they sell as 'closet organizers.' Turn it sideways and screw it to the wall so that the wires are horizontal. The lip on the back of the bins fits perfectly over the wires, and you have a 'rack' that lets you adjust the bin spacing in about 3/4" increments. I found my wire shelving at a garage sale for fifty cents each for two four foot sections.
Try to find the shelving that doesn't have the lip on the front.

Looks like you are making great progress. Will the shop need any heat. or is climate cooperative?
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Thanks, guys.
I substituted the Woodford Reserve with hot chocolate. I was really cold when I went into the house. Even really good bourbon over ice wasn't appealing under the circumstances. When I am finished I will give you all a shop tour and, yes, you will see the converted radial arm saw for auto-dadoes. It's buried right now. And no, the shop is not heated, nor insulated. I need to plug some holes all over the place. Remember, this is a rental, so I will just have to live with it. And no, the weather is not cooperating. It is getting down to the mid 20's at night.
Thanks for the encouragement. I am going to try to give it another go later today, if I can squeeze out a little time. Working on the Christmas Eve program with kids and parents.++++++

Carol, the space is really coming together! A little woodford reserve in the hot chocolat wouldn't have tasted to bad btw...

Too funny, Jeff.
I was introduced to Woodford Reserve poured over drug store chocolate ice cream. It made it taste like the most premium chocolate I ever tasted. I had forgotten that. Next time! I promise.
So thanks for the thought!++++++
