I like those heavy duty"gorilla?" metal shelving that slips 
together.  You can put the shelves at any level and they come
in large sizes that will hold a grand action.  I've seen them in 
catalogs.  I also love larger plastic boxes that will fit on 
some shelves for supplies.
Some years ago I toured the Hamburg Steinway factory and took a 
lot of pictures.  Most of the work benches had a piece of wood 
along the back with holes in it for the various tools.  The 
working end of the tool went down into the hole and handle 
stayed on top for easy access.  

Thanks for your repost about my maintenence schedule questions.
