Tooling organization - Page 2. I've found the best places to buy quality tools is attending auctions (local and ebay) and extensive study on the value of tools both new and used. You can do very well at auctions if you can have (1) an understanding that you don't have to have it (2) a good idea of what an item is worth and (3) an idea of the things you'd like to have. I've done fairly well at auctions. About 8 years ago I purchased two lots of drill bits for just under $200 after fees. Great opportunity to show off my drill bit drawers. 100% of the drill bits in this drawer (1/2" and smaller) came from one of the two lots. all but maybe 15 of the drill bits in this drawer ( > 1/2") came from the second lot.
The metric drills (left hand side) aren't organized very well but I rarely ever use them. When I purchases retail, I typically order through Amazon. Another secret of mine is I have a list of items that I really could use. Steve's Toybox - Steve Wike (sdwike)'s Photos. Sears Craftsman 921.153101.

I was reluctant to start a thread for mine, after looking at some of the work you have all put into your own garages. But, here it is so far. The outside still needs some completion, stone and what not. I am building the entire thing myself, house and garage. It has been a slow project (3 years and counting), but I am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
We are now in the house and life is good! The Garage is 24x25 with 10 foot ceilings. The house and garage were sided and trimmed with reclaimed Cedar from the property. Front still needs stone installed. I did not have the money to buy custom carriage house doors. All in all, they turned out really nice. When I had the door blanks built, I added the arched windows.
