I really like how you fast forward through some of the videos, but provide detailed voice-over comments. You're presentation style is detailed, understandable, and very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Just revisited this today, and forgot what an inspiration it was for my shop tool holding. You created a chapter in a shop encyclopedia that will be valued for a long time. Thanks, hope your current endeavors are rewarding.
Types of videos I watched over the year; Mid teens: prank videos and jackass clips Early 20's: comedy skits, creative animations Late 20's: political satire, news Now I'm my early 30's and just bought my own house: this. Absolutely outstanding work, the finished product made me feel like I could relax my soul
I have come to the same conclusion you have after using a pegboard for over 30 years. Once you set it up you never move anything. And yet I've knocked tools off of it because the little holders keep coming out of the holes. This is a great inspiration for my new work bench that I'm building now. I'm going to most likely tear down my old pegboard system and put up something just like yours. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Great solution and description of why a pegboard isn’t optimal for a lot of us. I had not thought about the fact that I never reorganize it - 14 years of friction in my shop created by me using the wrong tool (for me) for storage. Also really love the homemade track - so many RUclips channels use crazy expensive track systems. I would of course love to have an all-Festool shop, but it’s a bit out of reach for most of us. This is an awesome alternative. Thanks!
I'm in the middle of transforming a 12 by 20 foot shed into my workshop, and I have the same view on this setup being much better than pegboard or even French cleats! No extra brackets to buy for the peg board and easily place anywhere, and no extra wood to use for mounting strips as required for French cleats! After I put in the insulation, I just lined the walls with half inch OSB sheets of wood and now I can just mount anything directly to the wall and the entire wall is my tool board!!!
I am glad I found this... I like parts of it... I do not dislike any of it... I just want to do a combination of your ideas and peg board... I tend to use the peg board holders and make custom holders and marry the two... This again has some seriously great ideas... thank you for the video.
I am about to reorganize my shop and was thinking french cleat but after your video I have changed my mind ( sort of ) French cleats could also be added to your design. Thank YOU , SUBSCRIBED !
Thanks for the informative video. The best tip for me was the hot glue disc to add grip for magnets. I've had this problem before and hadn't come up with such a simple solution. Thanks.
What a sturdy and effective customized solution...... In stead of expensive PEG board, appreciate your approach. Only things, I feel , one can getaway that thin board (10 mm ?) that you have put on the wall .
Thanks for some inspiration. My solution will be very different but the peg-board Idea went out of the window for me some time ago because I find them ugly. My workshop is part of my home so it has to look presentable. The point is your video made me think carefully about how I need to do things instead of rushing in to build.
I love this idea. I have also found peg board wanting. I am off for a little while from work what a great project to get further organized. Thanks for all the ideas. Love your channel. Keep learning.
Very nice job/video. I'm now building mine, with a little twist. I built a custom cabinet behind the tool board; ie; I cut the tool board in half to use as two doors (3' x 4'). Using very large 9" T- hinges and keeping the heavier tools near the hinged edges.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have also seen people use a French clear system which allows for movement of the pieces as required or more tools are added.
MAN !!!! That is really nice !!! ........... I never really liked peg boards either.....it is hard to find the right hangers........with the way you are doing it......I can make my own. I am going to build one like this for my shop. Thanks
Ended up with dad's wood shop tools after he passed. I've got them on those plastic cabinets which just take up too much room in the garage. He had a system similar to yours which I couldn't get off the garage wall before the house was sold. Wish I did. But, with Corona snooping around I've got time to work on this project to organize the garage and get room back for the car. It's a small garage so space is of importance. I agree with you. I don't like the peg boards either. Dad told me to stay away from those as well. Mediocre in quality and longevity.
Excellent multi-use of the space. I am convinced the peg board although faster, it is less secure and a bit less versatile. Plus there might be a savings in money. There is a bit more time involved making the variety of holders which is the trade off for the secure no-knock-off security.
That trick with the hot glue to make the magnets more grippy was ingenious! Well done, its cool to see this come together after seeing a few of the bigger builds being featured previously.
Thank you! I tried a few different things before I found out that the hot glue would be a solution. I originally noticed when I added hot glue to my updated saw track, that while a little bit of glue was still exposed (before I sanded it away) on the bottom side, that even that little bit really made the track grippy. I considered leaving the hot glue on the bottom of the track for that reason, but realized it pushed the track every so slightly away from the material, which increased my chances of tear-out. That said, I logged into my memory the fact that hot glue added grip to things!
That's so counter-intuitive! One would think that since the tool is now farther away from the magnet, it's worse off. Of course the magnet affects less, but the added friction really works wonders. I wouldn't have guessed.
Yeah, the magnets actually have a really strong pull force, but the shear force is where they are weak. Just a little bit of friction does the trick though!
This is looking really nice. I have almost all of my tools on magnetic bars, but some tools do tend to slide off. It never happened, but it doesn't feel right. I am going to try your way of preventing that, feels like it'll do the trick. Thanks. The only thing I'd change I think, is the way the saws are stored. I have mine hanging because all of them have holes in a way that they hang straight down. Yours don't as I look at them. I use tiny hooks instead of screws, to prevent them from sliding of. Get one or put one back is very quick and easy and there is almost no space between them since I carefully made use of the negative space of the larger ones with smaller ones. Having to put them on 2 screws was my former way of storing them and it really drove me mad to get them on haha. But yours hang more solid I guess. Whatever works best. I am going to change to your way of storing the screw drivers, that looks and works awesome. They never are straight with me. Thanks for sharing, got some nice ideas from it to further improve my storage.
nice work on the tool board - my pegboard is about to go! I had always been taught not to store hand planes flat on the sole as can damage the blade. So always sit one end on a narrow spacer - I might use your idea and put a rabbet where the blade sits!
Very nicely done I have to agree with you 100 percent way better than peg board I just got to figure out how to organize my tools so that I'm not knocking stuff off every time I reach for something how did you make the thing for your nut drives the holder you made for the screw driver's is awesome to thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks! The nut driver holder was done with some forstner bits to create the recess, straight bits for the through holes, and a bandsaw to create the entry slot. I hope this helps!
I didn't see it mentioned in the video, but noticed it at the end.... nice touch with the paper towel rack ;) I like that it doubles as a small shelf. Overall really great job!
Great job. I’m setting up a new workshop at the moment, and have looked at French cleat systems. This seems much more efficient and less labour-intensive. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼
I like it! I have used the peg board system for my tools and it's worked well for me. I bought some little clips that hold the pegs in the board so they don't come off when I grab a tool. I wish I had more wall space to put tools on because it works so much better to hang your tools up than put them in a drawer.
Fantastic ideas and clear presentation. I have been looking at pegboards, but everything looked rather flimsy, restricting and not accommodating all of my requirements. Then I came accross this. This is exceeding all my expectations - look no further, thank you so much.
Nice job, you have set up a very workable tool board. I will be starting the removal of most of my peg board leaving those above 6’ finding them handy for extension cord, rope etc. Thanks for the idea and great example.
That thing is really boss. Just like the grampas of the sixties and seventies had in their shops. There was a rotating baby food jars on a stick sort of thing they used to use in those days for brads and small screws.
I have found the most important thing to help keep me organized is to have tool holders that are unique to each tool(or grouping of tools, like my plier station), rather than having simple hooks that allow too many other things to hang there instead. That way, everything has a very dedicated parking spot and tools can be put away much faster when you know exactly where it goes when you are done with it, AND you don't have to find somewhere else to put the thing that's taking up the first thing's parking spot.
Dude thats a nice shop! Id give anything to have that setup along with those tools. Im working on it. I have 2 circular saws. 2 table saws, 2 pneumatic staple guns, id much rather have a pneumatic nail gun, im going to work on that, a ton of pliers, screwdrivers, bolts, screws, sockets, hammers, etc.
Nice! One thing I've had problems with is other people using tools and not knowing where to put them. A simple and neat solution is to trace the outline of every tool with a Pen. That way is easier to find it's correct place again.
Just starting to watch this video. .. couple questions: 1. How do I make a homemade saw track? #2. Why use your skill saw instead of table saw? ... #3. LOVE your work bench with table saw and miter saw.... How can I turn mine into something similar?...
I have a couple of videos on making saw tracks - here’s a link to one of them: ruclips.net/video/68v9JlSM6OQ/видео.html A skill saw with a track is just easier to use (and safer) than a table saw for breaking down large sheets. We’ll, at least when compared to a compact table saw like most of us have. There are large format table saws that can break down sheets safely, but not what most people would have in their garage. I sell plans for my workbench on my website (oneminuteworkbench.com) The plans are fully detailed, step by step. I hope this helps!
It would take me a lifetime to build this wall not to mention all the tools I would have to buy to built it. But it t elegant and functional. Well done!
You'd mentioned a couple of times about using pin nails to hold the boards for just in case you need to move them around. My question is, have you ever had to move stuff around? And have they held up and not gotten loose over time? I was planning on going with french cleats but after seeing your setup, I think this will work for me better. I only require about 4 feet by 5 feet of space to display my tools and the french cleat system have plenty of dead space.
I’ve found the best style of hammer holder is basically a wide L shaped bracket. The upright part of the L gets screwed into the wall. The lower part of the L has a channel cut into it so your hammer handles will fit into it but it’s not too wide so that the hammer head slips through. Then you would have the hammer face sticking out towards you while it’s being stored.
Instead of trying to even out the high and low spots the way you did it, a much easier way is as follows: cut three or four (depending on desired width) 2x4's to length and fasten them to the studs using hammer-set anchors. Use a long level to check for high and low spots, and adjust the screws where needed. In any low spots, the screw will be unscrewed a bit out of the anchor. Wedge a spacer between the 2x4 and the drywall where it 'floats', to provide a sturdy backing. The end result is a frame of 2x4's that is as close to a perfect plane as possible. Fasten your plywood backing to the frame.
It might not give you as much flexibility with screw locations for the main board. I’d say it’s definitely a good way to save material though, and would reduce the amount of weight you have to lift in the beginning. I like it...probably pros and cons to each way, but again, it’s a good idea - thanks for sharing it!
simple and economical yet effective…great job sir. i was actually looking for a tool board (peg type) but now changed my mind to something like the one you made…excellent!
Paul, that's just how many coats were required to "finish" the board. I find that 6 coats is usually the sweet spot with Baltic Birch. Most poly manufacturers recommend a minimum of 3, but that's just the bare minimum. Depending on the type of wood you add poly to, it make take even more than 6 coats. Again, Baltic Birch really soaks it up, so the first few coats are just laying down the base getting ready for the "finishing coats" (if that makes sense). And you can tell when the piece is finished just based on how it looks. If it isn't ready, it will look splotchy and dry in some areas, while wet in others. Once you add enough coats, it'll start to look uniform, and you'll know it's done. Anyway, I hope this helps!
I see. It just makes it easier to keep clean (free of dust). I can blow off the board with compressed air, and it comes right off. Whereas unfinished baltic birch will have a tendency to hold the dust more. Does that make sense?
Thank you! I don’t know for sure, but I worked on it off and on for a couple of weeks. My projects tend to take a long time because I film them. On average, I’d say it takes 3x what it would without filming. So…maybe a couple of days? I hope this helps!
That trick you did with the pony clamps at 4:22 is genius! I never thought of using them like that! Pipe clamps are probably the most versatile tool there is.
Impressive. Truly functional, clean, and stable. I second your thoughts on peg board. You do have a lot of time on this, but that's okay too. Thank you for a video that is informative and done very well. Good work, I think I'll subscribe.
Thank you, Jaime! For the track, here's a link to the first version: ruclips.net/video/H0BZLbW1lvQ/видео.html and here's a link to the updated version: ruclips.net/video/Fc77cL8ReBQ/видео.html I hope this helps!
Thank you! It took several days, however everything takes longer when you're filming, so I imagine it could be done over a weekend. I use FCPX for video editing. I hope this helps!
Thank you! I have built a mechanic's style tool box. I don't have a video on it, but you can see it in most of videos lurking in the background. I have build videos that use similar techniques though, like the jointer cart video (here's a link: ruclips.net/video/kF7JjzQrNNE/видео.html) I sell plans for the tool box as well on my website: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/mechanics-style-toolbox/ Anyway, I hope you find some of this useful!
Nice simple solution. I also noticed the power switch on your disc sander. I believe these switch/outlets are under utilized, and much more economical than alternatives.
Thank you! Yeah, they are definitely way cheaper, but they don't have the style or the added safety features of some of those cool aftermarket switches. But again...more affordable tends to win for me!
Lol - give it time. I always tell people to just buy whatever tools they need for a job, and then NEVER sell them. After few years, you’ll have a nice set. After 20 years, you’ll have an amazing set. Best of luck!

Thank you! I'm glad to know that you're enjoying my projects, and my presentation style!
Just revisited this today, and forgot what an inspiration it was for my shop tool holding. You created a chapter in a shop encyclopedia that will be valued for a long time. Thanks, hope your current endeavors are rewarding.
Types of videos I watched over the year;
Mid teens: prank videos and jackass clips
Early 20's: comedy skits, creative animations
Late 20's: political satire, news
Now I'm my early 30's and just bought my own house: this.
Absolutely outstanding work, the finished product made me feel like I could relax my soul
I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only that relaxes to the idea of organization 😂

they make plastic bars that go across the hanger to hold them in
Thanks for the tip!

Hey thanks for echoing the sentiment that I think so many of us feel…Festool, send us all free tools already! 😂
Logically placed, skillfully crafted and well presented. Great video, well done, sir.

This is great. I mounted a piece of boards on my shed wall today. I’ll copy something like this for the tools. Cheers
Dude, i never had a tools panel and this video really helped me what to look for when i will make my own. Thanks
Good luck with your build!
Thanks for clear and easy ideas, tired of things too sophisticated , well done, I'll certainly copy yours, thanks again
Glad it helped!
Good ideas all, especially the home made saw tracker and the way you rigged up an old drill to make a sand paper station.
Thanks, Robert!
Those grippy discs are absolutely genius!
That is a handsome looking system. Like how it displays the hand planes as well
My favorite part by far is the diy grip discs. That's pure genius.
I love this idea. I have also found peg board wanting. I am off for a little while from work what a great project to get further organized. Thanks for all the ideas. Love your channel. Keep learning.
Very nice job/video. I'm now building mine, with a little twist. I built a custom cabinet behind the tool board; ie; I cut the tool board in half to use as two doors (3' x 4'). Using very large 9" T- hinges and keeping the heavier tools near the hinged edges.
Sounds awesome!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have also seen people use a French clear system which allows for movement of the pieces as required or more tools are added.

Bee Bob, good luck making use of this time you have to renovate your shop! Let me know how it goes!
Excellent multi-use of the space. I am convinced the peg board although faster, it is less secure and a bit less versatile. Plus there might be a savings in money. There is a bit more time involved making the variety of holders which is the trade off for the secure no-knock-off security.
This is the best idea I've seen for a tool wall. Simple and effective.

Thanks! I’m glad it’s helping to give you some ideas 🙂
Simple, yet effective. Since I need one at home, I will use varnish to make it look nicer.
What a great idea and the video really shows how the tool holder was constructed. Great job!!
I love the hot glue grip pad idea! I have put lines of hot glue on rulers to add grip and it works great.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing!
love the two-sheets of plywood idea.
Thanks!
Wow,wish this was in my garage. You certainly work smarter not harder. Very smart
Thanks, Annie - I'm glad you dig it! The good news is that you too can have it in your garage...you just have to build it 😉
I like how well thought through this is. At first the video looked obvious but I definitely learned a few things. Like
I liked how you used those large pole clamps to hold up your plywood while you attached it. Work smart, not hard.
When you work alone you'll come up with great ideas.
I have never thought of using my pipe clamps to hold a board to the wall. good job
The best solution I´ve seen so far!
nice work on the tool board - my pegboard is about to go! I had always been taught not to store hand planes flat on the sole as can damage the blade. So always sit one end on a narrow spacer - I might use your idea and put a rabbet where the blade sits!
Thank you, and thanks for the rabbet idea! Good luck with the project!
Very nicely done I have to agree with you 100 percent way better than peg board I just got to figure out how to organize my tools so that I'm not knocking stuff off every time I reach for something how did you make the thing for your nut drives the holder you made for the screw driver's is awesome to thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks! The nut driver holder was done with some forstner bits to create the recess, straight bits for the through holes, and a bandsaw to create the entry slot. I hope this helps!
I didn't see it mentioned in the video, but noticed it at the end.... nice touch with the paper towel rack ;) I like that it doubles as a small shelf. Overall really great job!
WOW! I admire your eye for detail and planning your tool organizer, I learned a lot from your video! Thank You!

Great thanks for a grand tutorial. Looking to do this tomorrow.
Good luck with the project!
amazing video and board. so wonderful to look at. well done.
I just built a huge bench and backboard and this is exactly what I needed to see. Practical and stylish 👌
Excellent tip for the grip discs on the magnets!
Thanks!
Very neat looking and well planned.
Thank you!
Nice job, you have set up a very workable tool board. I will be starting the removal of most of my peg board leaving those above 6’ finding them handy for extension cord, rope etc. Thanks for the idea and great example.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your build!
That thing is really boss. Just like the grampas of the sixties and seventies had in their shops. There was a rotating baby food jars on a stick sort of thing they used to use in those days for brads and small screws.
Looks very good i think i would go after with a pencil to make sure it gets back on same spot
I have found the most important thing to help keep me organized is to have tool holders that are unique to each tool(or grouping of tools, like my plier station), rather than having simple hooks that allow too many other things to hang there instead.

What an awesome idea! Your work bench looks really neat and very organized.
Thank you! If you're interested, here's the video for the workbench itself: ruclips.net/video/SKOCpNIV2Is/видео.html
Was a big help for my mess. Made life a lot easyer
Dude thats a nice shop! Id give anything to have that setup along with those tools. Im working on it. I have 2 circular saws. 2 table saws, 2 pneumatic staple guns, id much rather have a pneumatic nail gun, im going to work on that, a ton of pliers, screwdrivers, bolts, screws, sockets, hammers, etc.
Nice! One thing I've had problems with is other people using tools and not knowing where to put them. A simple and neat solution is to trace the outline of every tool with a Pen. That way is easier to find it's correct place again.
Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion!
This is great! Love the organization. You should do videos on how you made the nut driver holder, etc.
This has inspired me to give my garage a revamp. Thanks.
Glad to hear it 🙂 Have fun with the revamp!
Do you have the plans or video for the saw track?
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/68v9JlSM6OQ/видео.html I hope this helps!
That is very nice I like it. I am interested in that French Cleat hanging setup too. Oh, how did you make the paper towel holder?
There's something very artistic about the arrangement
Thank you....I guess when you're neurotic enough, it starts to look like real art 😂
Also noted your shop-built disc sander. Very cool! I would like a more in-depth tour of your shop!
I'll try to do a shop tour sometime early in 2020 - thanks again!
what a great idea! I was thinking of making my own peg board but this is even better. I will do something similar I think.

Thank you! And, it might not take you as long as you think. I've only been collecting tools for close to 20 years, so nowhere near a lifetime 😉
You have a huge space there !
Good organization! 👍😁✌🏻
cant help to envy your new tools. Mine are a variety from 5 to 50 years old
Good work bro. Thanks for sharing this great wall!
Thank you!
Awesome! So innovative. We recently moved and haven't yet set up our garage workshop. This is the first thing we plan to do. Thanks!
Thank you! Good luck setting up your shop and getting organized!
You'd mentioned a couple of times about using pin nails to hold the boards for just in case you need to move them around.
My question is, have you ever had to move stuff around? And have they held up and not gotten loose over time? I was
planning on going with french cleats but after seeing your setup, I think this will work for me better. I only require about
4 feet by 5 feet of space to display my tools and the french cleat system have plenty of dead space.
Now the experience you shared in the beginning makes this video worth a ton.
Thank you! I'm glad you got something out of it!
I’ve found the best style of hammer holder is basically a wide L shaped bracket. The upright part of the L gets screwed into the wall. The lower part of the L has a channel cut into it so your hammer handles will fit into it but it’s not too wide so that the hammer head slips through. Then you would have the hammer face sticking out towards you while it’s being stored.
Thanks for the tip!
Instead of trying to even out the high and low spots the way you did it, a much easier way is as follows: cut three or four (depending on desired width) 2x4's to length and fasten them to the studs using hammer-set anchors. Use a long level to check for high and low spots, and adjust the screws where needed. In any low spots, the screw will be unscrewed a bit out of the anchor. Wedge a spacer between the 2x4 and the drywall where it 'floats', to provide a sturdy backing. The end result is a frame of 2x4's that is as close to a perfect plane as possible. Fasten your plywood backing to the frame.
Great idea, I'm still I'm the process of figuring out what tools need to be on the wall to be most useful.
Good luck!
Do you absolutely need the plywood underneath? What about firing strips instead?
It might not give you as much flexibility with screw locations for the main board. I’d say it’s definitely a good way to save material though, and would reduce the amount of weight you have to lift in the beginning. I like it...probably pros and cons to each way, but again, it’s a good idea - thanks for sharing it!
Awesome work👍👍👍
Thanks!
Great tool organizer, very well done video too.
Have a great day.

Thank you!
That's really smart with the brad nails.I also work by myself and always have trouble mounting large things by myself.
Thanks! I think the trick is to just add barely enough to hold whatever it is your trying to mount, that way way you can still move it. Good luck!
Nice job and it looks great. How's it been working out for you?
Great video, thanks! You summed up the peg board problem perfectly. This board is functional and looks a whole lot better too.
Thanks! Glad you dig it!
Amazing customized tool wall mount system you built. Looks easy but its not that much easier. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
simple and economical yet effective…great job sir. i was actually looking for a tool board (peg type) but now changed my mind to something like the one you made…excellent!
I’m glad to sway you away from pegboard! Good luck with your setup!
The 6 coats of poly, what are you accomplishing with that?
Paul, that's just how many coats were required to "finish" the board. I find that 6 coats is usually the sweet spot with Baltic Birch. Most poly manufacturers recommend a minimum of 3, but that's just the bare minimum. Depending on the type of wood you add poly to, it make take even more than 6 coats. Again, Baltic Birch really soaks it up, so the first few coats are just laying down the base getting ready for the "finishing coats" (if that makes sense). And you can tell when the piece is finished just based on how it looks. If it isn't ready, it will look splotchy and dry in some areas, while wet in others. Once you add enough coats, it'll start to look uniform, and you'll know it's done. Anyway, I hope this helps!
Yes, but I mean why finish it, given it is for tool storage?
I see. It just makes it easier to keep clean (free of dust). I can blow off the board with compressed air, and it comes right off. Whereas unfinished baltic birch will have a tendency to hold the dust more. Does that make sense?
This is next level. Great job. What was the total time to assemble?
Thank you! I don’t know for sure, but I worked on it off and on for a couple of weeks. My projects tend to take a long time because I film them. On average, I’d say it takes 3x what it would without filming. So…maybe a couple of days? I hope this helps!
That trick you did with the pony clamps at 4:22 is genius! I never thought of using them like that! Pipe clamps are probably the most versatile tool there is.
Impressive. Truly functional, clean, and stable. I second your thoughts on peg board. You do have a lot of time on this, but that's okay too. Thank you for a video that is informative and done very well. Good work, I think I'll subscribe.
I think your pin nail insight is great for the reasons you stated. Now I need some bee's wax! :-)
Nice! How about a tutorial for the circular saw guide? Thanks.
Thank you, Jaime! For the track, here's a link to the first version: ruclips.net/video/H0BZLbW1lvQ/видео.html and here's a link to the updated version: ruclips.net/video/Fc77cL8ReBQ/видео.html I hope this helps!
That board is exactly what I need for my everlast accessories and metal working tools.
Very nice,how many days it took for you do it,and how did you edit the video
Thank you! It took several days, however everything takes longer when you're filming, so I imagine it could be done over a weekend. I use FCPX for video editing. I hope this helps!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench thanks sir
Really cool. Any ideas on mechanics tools? I built a A frame with wheels to move around my shop
Thank you! I have built a mechanic's style tool box. I don't have a video on it, but you can see it in most of videos lurking in the background. I have build videos that use similar techniques though, like the jointer cart video (here's a link: ruclips.net/video/kF7JjzQrNNE/видео.html) I sell plans for the tool box as well on my website: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/mechanics-style-toolbox/ Anyway, I hope you find some of this useful!
Nice simple solution. I also noticed the power switch on your disc sander. I believe these switch/outlets are under utilized, and much more economical than alternatives.
Thank you! Yeah, they are definitely way cheaper, but they don't have the style or the added safety features of some of those cool aftermarket switches. But again...more affordable tends to win for me!
So beautiful, orderly and super practical. Never see a better one !!! Kodos
Thank you!
Great idea! Well executed and super neat!
Very nice setup
Thank you!
Keep up the good work! I was looking for a decent plan for a tool organization board for a long time. I'm inspired to build, thanks!
Thanks - I'll do my best!
Great work and great vid! I also liked your clear yet concise explanation!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench My dilemma: to make my tool wall, I need more sophisticated tools... ;-)
Lol - give it time. I always tell people to just buy whatever tools they need for a job, and then NEVER sell them. After few years, you’ll have a nice set. After 20 years, you’ll have an amazing set. Best of luck!
Thanks Tommy! I needed a toolboard for my guitartech workshop
