Show Your Machine Stand Storage Solutions Please

Hi All:
In the reality of shrinking shop space and the need to find new ways to organize, I've been taking a closer look at the empty space under my tool stands.

If anyone has modifications to share, please post them. I'm particularly interested in what to do with the space under a Supermax 16-32 mobile base. [member=67555]mattbyington[/member], care to share your modification?  Not sure if it was posted previously and having a hard time searching.

Thank you in advance, and Happy New Year all!

This is not what you want, but here is one way I solved some of my storage problems:

I have a basement shop and moved all my sandpaper up between the first floor floor joists.  I Screwed a strip of scrap plywood  onto the bottom of  a floor joist, and that gives me two shelves to store boxes of sandpaper.  So (for example) I have all my 5" round on the front side of a shelf, and Delta triangle boxes on the back side.  I also stored other stuff on similar floor joist rafter shelves so I could make room for all the Recon Festool items I purchased last year.  I have the underside labeled so I know what is stored where.

Lots of usable space up there.

In my basement shop I store my two 1400 rails in a rack between floor joists. I am tall enough that I can reach them easily but they are out of the way and not going to get damaged up there. I have the majority of my longer clamps stored in the same manner.

I took a metal, adjustable closet rod I had saved from a bedroom remodeling and hung it between a couple joists about 5 feet apart. That became my clamp storage for most of my shorter, light duty clamps. They are right over the MFT/3 and within reach when I am gluing something up.
