I like your solution, mosly because it's not too expensive.
Looks like the hose hanger is almost overloaded, you should have used 1" plate and 2" solid rod, then it would be secure forever.
The cabinet came out nice, it looks like a fire extinguisher case on it's side.

I had a couple of 50-foot hoses coiled in a tool chest drawer along with a few shorter ones and like you say it's a pain to get them out when you need them. My shed is about 100 feet from the garage (where the compressor is located) and I sometimes need air down there. Every time I took the hoses out they turned into a rats nest. I bought a hose reel (~$35 at Northern Tool) and a vise hitch mount (~$20 at HF) for the receiver on the side of my garage. I originally installed the receiver for a pneumatic paint shaker. When (not an "if") a paint can comes loose, I'd rather clean up the mess outside.
It's one of my luxuries - I can turn it on for 10 minutes while I get the surface prepped and then do a few swipes on the bottom of the can with the stick. It's a Harbor Freight shaker and sells for about $100 (on sale or with a coupon).
Great reply!

Strouty, sorry I missed your comment. I think Pollack's style of work should be confined to canvases in a studio. I often fail to close tool chest drawers so they collect dust and dirt. Can't imagine cleaning paint out of a drawer full of sockets, screwdrivers or pliers.
Whew, I finally caught up today!
I love how the attached garage ceiling turned out. One of these days, when (if) I have a garage I just park cars in, I'm definitely doing that.
There's two kinds spring retractable, or manual with handle.
Sack crete is not rich enough. They short the ratio of cement to aggregate. Good enough for most projects but if you want to trowel it to a real nice finish you need more cement. You can get the same effect by sprinkling dry cement on the freshly placed concrete and floating it into the surface. But for a stronger mix and the advantage of a better finish, just add it to the mix.
