For example:
Fractional/1-60/A-G drill index: OUT On a shelf
S & D bits: OUT In a shoe box
Metric bits: IN On a shelf
Collets: OUT Either in a collet rack or in a box
Lathe toolholders: IN On a shelf
T-handle hex wrench: ? Hanging on the wall in a homemade holder
Regular hex wrench: ? In a shoe box
Nutdrivers: ? In a tool box
Other stuff: Taps, reamers, boring bars, wrenches, screwdrivers...
Taps: In a tool cabinet drawer
Reamers: In a shoe box
Boring bars: In a tool cabinet drawer

Obviously, this would change on specific jobs. But just, in general...?

My responses in red above. YMMV

Ed you definitely have your shi....um...stuff together!

I've seen pictures of some workbenches that look like a "Where's Waldo" of tooling!

Russ,

I have intentions of rearranging my shop this winter. Once that's done, I'll have the tools a little more organized and out of the shoe boxes, which the sugar mama will be happy to hear so she can have her boxes back.
