Thanks lads, been meaning to do this for ages. Now it is done, I feel a lot happier.
John,
Actually nothing else can go into that corner. Just out of shot, lower down, is a set of rolling drawers reaching from the lathe front to the wall behind the lathe. Between that and the new racks is my area for changing the gears on the lathe. Under the metal collet rack is the oil filled radiator and swarf bin, so not much space left IN THAT CORNER, but I do have a couple more to work with.
There is an area above the new racks, and that is earmarked for a small rack to hold the lathe change gears and sundry items belonging to the lathe.
As you can see, I hate wasted space. In fact there are a couple of shelves going up behind the lathe for more lathe bits and my growing engine collection.
As long as I can reach it, it goes on the wall.

Ok John, understand, meanwhile I am facing some storage challenges myself especially as one workshop (the 'dirty' shop where welding and grinding happen) is severely hampered by out of control storage issues and my 'electronic' shop is almost a no go zone for the same reason. :(
Darren:
That's a lot of trophies John, nice display....that'll impress the locals/visitors...... :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

slightly :offtopic: John but can I ask why you have two dro's on the lathe ?

Jason,
In my quest for greater accuracy in machining parts, I fitted an extra couple of read heads. One on the compound (topslide) and another on the tailstock.
It takes a lot of guesswork out of machining. It works better than I ever imagined it would.
