Tool Storage

Just finished disassembly of my headstock and getting ready to install parts in replacement casting.Found drive sleeve bearings dry so going to replace them.Now for the point, looking forward to being up and running and looking for ways to keep the assorted tooling handy yet neat and out of the way.Budget is tight so wondering what other people have done using home built solutions.Just the basic stuff, blades, arbors, drill chuck, sanding disc, lathe chisels and tailstock.Maybe something similar to the shelf sold to mount to the legs.Any ideas?

I started a similar thread recently and got some great ideas from folks on storage options, many of which were homemade:

Thanks, I think my search skills need some improvement. The storage that animus used is along the lines of what I was thinking of. Stays attached to the base yet out of the way. I can even downsize that somewhat since I don't have a jointer.
Now I'm really anxious to get my headstock back together. I found out today that if you leave the drive sleeve assembly outside for a few hours in 30 degree weather it will slide right into place with no effort at all. That was how long it took to clear the fresh snow off the driveway so I could get my pickup (with the drive sleeve in it) from the street back up to the house.
