Peter, the main points I took away from Ron were:
1. Use walls and overhead space for storage. Walls provide tons of
space for shallow shelves , racks, bins etc. I have 24” deep shelves
and cabinets around most of the perimeter of my shop- high enough for
me to walk under. If it’s over my head, it’s not in the way.
I built two drawers under my workbench to hold frequently used tools.
They are still high enough to allow room for my rolling action table
to fit underneath with an action on top. I’ll even store things on the
bottom shelf of the table from time to time.

2. Temporary work surfaces.
Ron had a large sturdy table saw in the middle of the floor which he
would cover with a tabletop to make it double as a bench. In addition
to the rolling table, I have a table that folds out from the wall made
from an old upright bottom panel. I also use an old maple key bed from
that same old upright on a portable keyboard stand as a temporary
bench. I haul that to job sites from time to time.
3. If it's going to take up space, make sure it is multi-purpose (if
possible). Ron even used his soundboard hot box for storage.
