I am new here so be nice. I have moved into a new house that has a 2,400 shop space. I have started building some outfeed tables and such but, because I have a bland slate, I would like to call on those that have been down this road before and ask for suggestions, either written or photo, to help me max out the potential of the shop from an efficiency and aesthetic perspective. Any help along those lines will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
 
Space optimization, the Sys3 rails are better - although the standard ones you'll have to pull the entire systainer and set it on a table. If you have a 3d printer, you can print ones that have a sliding mechanism. They're not entirely stout and flex a bit compared to a more robust Sys-AZ setup. That leads to heavy tools that go in-and-out of the box frequently... look into either the Sys-AZ or roll your own with drawer slides.

Or... you can do what I do and build small conformant sys carts and just stack everything on wheels and do the sys-cart ballet. Shop cabinets can then be reserved for more oversized stuff like materials, etc.

Welcome, being new is not a bad thing. This place is generally very friendly and very informative.
2400 sq ft is quite a large space. It would be helpful to know what kind of machinery you are trying to fit into it and what kind of projects you make.
