Pay for Service
A small shop can’t handle everything. Most stationary tools are expensive and space hungry, but they can save hours of time over smaller tools like hand planes and belt sanders. When you need an occasional helping hand, find a cabinet shop that’s willing to plane, sand, shape and rip the work that you bring in. For example, the wide belt sander in the photo will do a perfect job of leveling a glued-up tabletop in minutes—and you can usually have it done for under $20. A friendly relationship can also pay off in terms of advice on things like joinery techniques and as a source of raw materials or hardware.

That airhose reel needs to be a little lower, otherwise cranking it up will be a pain.

trying to find more tool-less storage hooks. I have the patent number 5636819 and a trademark which only has "Tool-Less" purchased by a relative (they think thru a catalog) but they can't remember which one. one piece black and red, looks like of like a weird C shape with the hook part coming out the back of the C. Help, any info appreciated.
