What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I have a tiny garage and 4'x6' table with a 3' extension. Grinders, drills, shields, etc all pile up in a hurry and it's a mess. I decided to make an overhead storage rack, kinda like some kitchens have to hang post and pans. I've since added another piece across the front side so I have a total of 3 sides from which I can hang stuff. It's simply bolted angle with some bent rod welded on. It's pretty handy and I'd do this again, even with a bigger garage since it gets things out of the way, but leaves them within reach at the same time.

In addition to that I have an extension on the table that may be of interest to some. You can move it in and out with a finger and it stays fairly level. I built trucks out of skateboard wheels and flat bar. 3 sets of trucks are needed for each side: top, bottom, and side. In the pictures you will only see the top and bottom ones. The legs on the table look mangled because I decided to add casters to my table and that required cutting the legs off one at a time and then shortening them to account for the 5" caster height. The table would have been too high had I not shortened the legs. I opted to use flat bar splice plates rather than groove weld the legs back together.

Nice. Yeah it's pretty tough to fit a whole shop into your garage.
