[Shop-talk] Modular wall-mount storage rails?

[eric at megageek.com]

I looked at a bunch of them and I can't justify the expense to get sucked 
into having to buy their storage systems.

If you want your garage to look nice, they can't be beat.

But, if you are more concerned about functionality and maximizing the 
storage space available, these are a waste.

I have found that custom built is much better.  Get some cheap shelves 
from places going out of business, then keep 'upgrading.'

Besides, how often do you need to move a storage rack or cabinet once you 
put it in place?  Seems like attaching it directly to the wall is the best 
bet.

Just my $0.02

While we're on the subject, I'd be keen to see some photos of people's 
shop organization/shelving layouts.  I'm looking to replace my 
standard&bracket
system with something that doesn't waste as much wallspace...
