Innovative Way to Store Circular Saw?

[Outlaw138]

I am looking for a innovative way to store my circular saw, I currently have it hanging on a pegboard hooks but I have limited peg board space and it is taking up quite a bit of room. I also want to store it somewhere accessible since I use it often and do not want to store it in a bag or case. Anyone have any interesting ways they have store theirs? Definitely interested in some solution!
Thanks

Interested as well... I can't think of any ways to store something other then hanging it or putting it in a case (toolbox or any other container)

I have a lateral file cabinet with my corded tools in the bottom drawer, it's easy and out of the way.

I have a 2x4 fastened to the shelf so they sit up straight.

I built a shelf and I shove my saws on said shelf. I built another shelf for the the empty cases which I use periodically if I need to take the saw to a jobsite.

Here is one of my saws on one of my shelves:

I've got a skil worm drive with a skyhook on it. It hangs under my workbench on a 2x4. My cordless saw lives in the tool bag with the rest of my cordless set so it's all together when I have to take it somewhere.

I hate to say it, but I saw a great storage idea at Toys R Us the other day. They had their layaways in big cloth bags hung from the ceiling trusses. The peoples name was on the outside on a big tag. When somene came to pick one up they would get a ladder out and get it down. It was really a good idea.

Interesting idea here, easily adapted to your own tools and needs. I built one like in post #2 with 4 in. high cubbies under the main shelf, just for power cords, bits, blades, etc.

How about a shelf with slots for the blade to set in?

Don't over complicate things, especially if its a standard saw (not a worm drive). Just nail a 16 penny nail into the wall, leave about 1/4-3/8" sticking out, and hang the saw up by the blade guard on the nail.

Power up the saw, apply it to a nice spot on the wall or shelf, push in until it stops, turn off. Tada! Stored.

This may not be too popular if you want to use it *again*. Nor is it so good for the electrical cable and cold water pipe you just cut, but hey, those are other problems. Good thing is now you get a chance to use more tools.

But seriously, big deep drawers are wonderful for awkwardly shaped power tools like routers, belt sanders, circular saws, etc.

You have a woodworking bench? If there's space underneath, you could hang it from a bicycle hook.

When I make my custom power tool cabinet in the spring I plan on cutting a slot in the designated shelf so that it sits upright.
