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.
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.
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!
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 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 !
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 .
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!!!
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. 👍🏼
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is the best! I have already started the thought process, and the layout of my tool board. I noticed there were seven magnets to start with, ending up with four. Slick!
Loved this. I love anything which lifts tools out of the way and gives them their own safe spot. I have found that it not only helps make tools have a longer life, and speeds up the work process (no searching), but my tools get better taken care of. As I see them, if one has a little more wear it will stand out. So I will pull it, give it a minute on a wire wheel, get it back to store quality and then put it back. Also BRILLIANT magnet hack. Just that extra bit of grip to hold it.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
First off great job and awesome project! Nothing beats custom. Only thing I will mention because it bothered me as well is about the peg board. Once you arrange a peg board the way you want you can hot glue your holders to make everything stay put. You can then use joint compound to fill the unused holes and sand/paint for a finished look. Very easy to re arrange if you aren’t as amazing as you are at the custom holders :)
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!
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 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.
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.
I was always taught to store wood planes on their sides, not on their bottoms, (something about protecting the blades?). Other than that, what a great project - something to be proud of!
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.
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!
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.
It's amazing to me that everything fits and everything's reachable when you didn't start with figuring out how much space you NEEDED before creating the board.
Well actually, not everything fits. I don't exactly have the luxury of enough wall space to accommodate all my tools. And since I could only afford to dedicate so much space to the tool wall, I laid out the tools I *wanted* to add, and then looked at each tool and asked myself the question "How often do I really use that tool?". Anything that doesn't get used as often didn't make the cut!
You can always build more as your collection grows. I'm now planning to make a couple of 36 x 36 inch boards to hold things like spanner collections and such. I'm also thinking of making a video of doing it too, but doubt it will look as pro as this 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.
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.
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!
That hot glue disk tip is AMAZING! The peg stops are also genius. You've inspired me. I've been waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint at all!
Thank you, Dawn! I mentioned to someone in another comment that if you watch my saw track update video, you'll see that I used some hot glue on the bottom, and squeegeed it. That formed a thin layer that that made the track really grippy. In fact, the only reason I didn't leave it on the track was because it lifted the board up away from the piece being cut, which ruins the "low-tear-out" effect of the track. I'm glad the video didn't disappoint - it was a long time in the making, partly because the project took so long. Again, I'm just glad you enjoyed it!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Thank you for showing how to use your own items to figure out the measurements. I know it may seem intuitive, but my trips to the big box store are few and far between (due to distance). Knowing what I need before I go helps so much. I'm new to woodworking, so setting up my workspace in a limited area is very important. I'm looking forward to more videos! Thank you for showing your thought process behind your setup. I just watched the saw track update video and totally get why you had to change it. Glad you can still use the trick, though, for other things.
Peg board for holding tools works perfect if you know what you're doing. You should make sure your tools are organized right where you want them, then glue all the pegs into the holes using GOOP. There are several different kinds of GOOP, which is just a clear rubber that works better then silicone because it dries fast and ends up being just hard rubber. It holds all my pegs in place and can be moves by just pulling them back out with a bit of effort. Try it!
Might’ve been easier to level and hang if you screwed a level cleat at the bottom to rest those big sheets on while you secured it to the wall. Nice work!
Really nice job on your wall mounted tool organizer. Over the winter I completed my new workshop build project using beveled shiplap boards mounted to fir strips on concrete walls. I too used finish nails on certain light tools mounted directly to my shiplap. Custom individual tool holders, quite similar to what you have done here is a work in progress for me currently. Thanks for sharing your build... Bill on the Hill... :~)
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!
Great work! At first, I thought it was a complicated build but then it was not. It was very simple and practical. Looks clean too. I like that you used finished nails on some hangers which gave the illusion that the tools hanging from them are just sticking on the board. Thanks!
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!
Thanks! I know a lot of people are big fans of french cleat, but it just wasn't right for me. I feel like the hardest part of any system is building the custom tool holders. Once the holders are built, it just seems easier to me to hang the holders with pins. It still allows the holders to be rearranged easily, but it removes a layer of complexity in building and arranging them on the board. With the french cleat system, you have to consider how adding the mating component will be attached to the holder, how the will affect depth, etc. You also have to conform to the lines that are on the board. I prefer the blank wall to work with, as it just seems easier to setup. All that said, I'm not discounting a french cleat wall - it beats a pegboard any day of the week!
I'm pretty sure you're a serial killer... I'm just kidding, but your attention to detail is incredible. Staggering. Thank you for this intensely eye-opening video.

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 😂
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.

This again has some seriously great ideas... thank you for the video.
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.
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!
This is great. I mounted a piece of boards on my shed wall today. I’ll copy something like this for the tools. Cheers
Logically placed, skillfully crafted and well presented. Great video, well done, sir.
I just built a huge bench and backboard and this is exactly what I needed to see. Practical and stylish 👌
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.

Thanks for clear and easy ideas, tired of things too sophisticated , well done, I'll certainly copy yours, thanks again
Glad it helped!
Wow. Beautiful job! Loved the vertical sanding disc rig. I actually have done something similar with a belt sander. 👍😆
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.
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!
Simple, yet effective. Since I need one at home, I will use varnish to make it look nicer.
My favorite part by far is the diy grip discs. That's pure genius.
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!
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!
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 😉

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!
I have never thought of using my pipe clamps to hold a board to the wall. good job
This is the best idea I've seen for a tool wall. Simple and effective.
Those grippy discs are absolutely genius!
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.

I agree 100%!

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!
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.

That is a handsome looking system. Like how it displays the hand planes as well
I was always taught to store wood planes on their sides, not on their bottoms, (something about protecting the blades?). Other than that, what a great project - something to be proud of!
You would need to add a groove under the end of the blade to avoid any damage
Thank you, John, and thanks for the plane-storage-suggestion as well!
I wouldn’t have thought about the waviness of the drywall when building this wall board! It looks great!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
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.
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!
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!
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 😉
There's something very artistic about the arrangement
Thank you....I guess when you're neurotic enough, it starts to look like real art 😂
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.
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.
You have a huge space there !
Good organization! 👍😁✌🏻
Amazing customized tool wall mount system you built. Looks easy but its not that much easier. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It's amazing to me that everything fits and everything's reachable when you didn't start with figuring out how much space you NEEDED before creating the board.
Well actually, not everything fits. I don't exactly have the luxury of enough wall space to accommodate all my tools. And since I could only afford to dedicate so much space to the tool wall, I laid out the tools I *wanted* to add, and then looked at each tool and asked myself the question "How often do I really use that tool?". Anything that doesn't get used as often didn't make the cut!
You can always build more as your collection grows. I'm now planning to make a couple of 36 x 36 inch boards to hold things like spanner collections and such. I'm also thinking of making a video of doing it too, but doubt it will look as pro as this 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.
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.
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!
Nice idea with the grippy glue discs, love it!
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!
Glad this came up. Gave me some inspiration. One thought. Make a pix of the board and hang it next to the board..
Why?
LOL....or maybe the pic in the center of the board so it continues inward forever 🤣
Larry, I think just because it would be funny.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench If you put a mirror next to the board you could have twice as many tools!
Tools can get misplaced on a board..Chisels etc..pix can be labeled..also if you have a helper they will know where things go.
I like how well thought through this is. At first the video looked obvious but I definitely learned a few things. Like
Excellent tip for the grip discs on the magnets!
Thanks!
That hot glue disk tip is AMAZING! The peg stops are also genius. You've inspired me. I've been waiting for this video and it didn't disappoint at all!
Thank you, Dawn! I mentioned to someone in another comment that if you watch my saw track update video, you'll see that I used some hot glue on the bottom, and squeegeed it. That formed a thin layer that that made the track really grippy. In fact, the only reason I didn't leave it on the track was because it lifted the board up away from the piece being cut, which ruins the "low-tear-out" effect of the track. I'm glad the video didn't disappoint - it was a long time in the making, partly because the project took so long. Again, I'm just glad you enjoyed it!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Thank you for showing how to use your own items to figure out the measurements. I know it may seem intuitive, but my trips to the big box store are few and far between (due to distance). Knowing what I need before I go helps so much. I'm new to woodworking, so setting up my workspace in a limited area is very important. I'm looking forward to more videos! Thank you for showing your thought process behind your setup. I just watched the saw track update video and totally get why you had to change it. Glad you can still use the trick, though, for other things.
This is brilliant! I love the extra nails that act to hold the shape. Thank you so much 😃
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!
This is great! Love the organization. You should do videos on how you made the nut driver holder, etc.
Peg board for holding tools works perfect if you know what you're doing. You should make sure your tools are organized right where you want them, then glue all the pegs into the holes using GOOP. There are several different kinds of GOOP, which is just a clear rubber that works better then silicone because it dries fast and ends up being just hard rubber. It holds all my pegs in place and can be moves by just pulling them back out with a bit of effort. Try it!
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!
love the two-sheets of plywood idea.
Thanks!
This has inspired me to give my garage a revamp. Thanks.
Glad to hear it 🙂 Have fun with the revamp!
Might’ve been easier to level and hang if you screwed a level cleat at the bottom to rest those big sheets on while you secured it to the wall. Nice work!
Thank you! Yeah, the first one wasn’t so bad...it was pretty light. The second one was a beast though.
Really nice job on your wall mounted tool organizer. Over the winter I completed my new workshop build project using beveled shiplap boards mounted to fir strips on concrete walls. I too used finish nails on certain light tools mounted directly to my shiplap. Custom individual tool holders, quite similar to what you have done here is a work in progress for me currently.
Thanks for sharing your build...
Bill on the Hill... :~)
Thanks, William! Your shop sounds really awesome!
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!
Great work! At first, I thought it was a complicated build but then it was not. It was very simple and practical. Looks clean too. I like that you used finished nails on some hangers which gave the illusion that the tools hanging from them are just sticking on the board. Thanks!
amazing video and board. so wonderful to look at. well done.
WOW! I admire your eye for detail and planning your tool organizer, I learned a lot from your video! Thank You!
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!
Looks very good i think i would go after with a pencil to make sure it gets back on same spot
That board is exactly what I need for my everlast accessories and metal working tools.
Was a big help for my mess. Made life a lot easyer
Thanks Tommy! I needed a toolboard for my guitartech workshop
Looks like a great setup. Needed some inspiration and mission accomplished. Thanks 👍
Thank you! Glad to help!
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
You have designed a very nice tool board and given me some good ideas to use. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks!
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!
French cleat is better for hanging it on the wall imo, especially if ever need to move it, nice tool holders
Agreed. Move anything as things change over time.
Thanks! I know a lot of people are big fans of french cleat, but it just wasn't right for me. I feel like the hardest part of any system is building the custom tool holders. Once the holders are built, it just seems easier to me to hang the holders with pins. It still allows the holders to be rearranged easily, but it removes a layer of complexity in building and arranging them on the board. With the french cleat system, you have to consider how adding the mating component will be attached to the holder, how the will affect depth, etc. You also have to conform to the lines that are on the board. I prefer the blank wall to work with, as it just seems easier to setup. All that said, I'm not discounting a french cleat wall - it beats a pegboard any day of the week!
That thing looks so on point! Organization is so key when creating and building things!
Thanks man!
Hi Tommy.
Very classic Tool organiser Board. Truly makes work easy and efficient. Great work.
cant help to envy your new tools. Mine are a variety from 5 to 50 years old
Very nice! I'm considering a storage system similar to yours, except with French cleats to easily move things around as I add more tools.
Thank you, and good luck getting organized!
The best solution I´ve seen so far!
This is just beautiful ... I would definitely paint my area pink ❤️👍🏽 awesome Job I hate peg boards .
Thanks! If you do build one and paint it pink, be sure to send me a pic!
One Minute Workbench I sure will
I'm pretty sure you're a serial killer...
I'm just kidding, but your attention to detail is incredible. Staggering.
Thank you for this intensely eye-opening video.
😂
