Large things like drills and circular saws should be kept in their own cases and can be stood on end next to each other on bottom shelves. A large peg board or two can be hung for all the blades and various parts.
OMG I think I love you...nothing sexier than a woman and power tools combined...my fantasy dream come true. I build gun cabinets, fishing rod cabinets, ornate jewelry boxes ( sold one recently for $16,000). for saw blades...use a flower planter on wheels, a 4x4 timber, concreted into the pot...drive large nails into the wood--spaced according to your blade size...driven in so the nail is pointing upwards....hang blades on the nails....portable...create a portable work table for your bench lathe and grinder...another for your planer...for safety reasons, radial saws, chop saws, arm saws, table saws should be stationary....also consider your floor may not be level and constant moving means constant leveling.....SAFETY first---no long sleeves, no long loose hair (tuck it in your blouse/shirt), no jewelry (the wedding ring has to come off), no untucked blouse or shirt, no flowing beard like duck dynasty...during my years I have seen all of these cause serious injuries...especially around lathes and drill presses...get a subscription to woodworkers magazine for more great ideas.
Guys want every tool they have to be at their fingertips! That said, we try to keep like tools together with the assessories for them nearby. Like all the battery drills, with a charging station for chargers and a labeled box for drill bits etc. Labels are my best friend!
How about a peg board painted white. Place the tools/attachments on hooks on the board and then trace around them with a sharpie marker. You will always know where the parts go and which ones are missing.
