First, before you can decide on the size of you garage storage cabinet, you need to settle on what tools or machinery will go into which shelf or drawer of the cabinet. You know better than anyone which tools you use most often and will want to keep within easy reach of your work area.
Your smaller hand and power tools will probably be most convenient if you put them in the part of the garage storage cabinet closest to your work area; the power tools should be kept on an enclosed shelf to keep them away from dust.
The small removable bits, drills, and blades which you use with you power tools can be placed in a drawer close to the shelves holding the tools with which they work; and you can also have separate drawers for hardware like nails, nuts and bolts, washers, and screws.
Specialty hardware like drawer pulls, or hinges can be stored in another area, especially if you do not do custom woodwork very often. You can buy dividers to keep each kind of hardware separated.
A garage storage cabinet with a section to hold wooden dowels of with taller sections to hold brooms, rakes, and other long-handled garden tools will also come in handy. If you use larger power tools like a mitre saw, one of your garage storage cabinet's deeper compartments should the set aside for them.
