Most I had seen had always been individual, and granted it’s easier to move individual holders around than that massive thing, but the point is to rearrange individual tools, not holders. So this allows a lot of that. One piece of advice, use your miter saw to cut the grooves, not table saw. Too long of a board to use miter gauge, most miter saws have a depth stop. Made it really simple.

Sir,, You organized your tools more than my life 👍🏻

This brings back some memories! I ran my furniture making business out of a one car garage back in the late 80's and 90's. I had stuff mounted everywhere! I had a panel saw that took up an entire wall, and even had pegboard behind that! I built some massive furniture in there, but it was definitely a dance 😉The very first iteration was an unheated 2-car that I had to share with a car so I feel your pain. Everything on wheels and stowed away when not needed! I and finally getting my dream shop now, but it's been many years!

@@RingsWorkshop Could you do a tutorial video on how you actually designed and assembled some of the components for hand tool storage (starting at the 11 minute mark in this video)? On some, once the cleat is cut, you attached boards on top. And what is the spacing between your cleats? How did you know which tool holders would need to hit two cleats? I have everything purchased, but my cleats are not cut yet.

It appears you have a 6 inch board on top of the 5 inch cleat. Then you added the magnets. How are the boards attached to the cleat boards? What is the purpose of having second boards attached on the front (drill bits and hole saw holders).

Thanks for sharing your expertise some of your ideas in your Shop Organization vids have resulted in that 'the coin just dropped' moment for me and been a huge help!

I love pegboard. Love it. Much smaller location unit, and fully flexible in two dimensions. You get more in a smaller space, so they are closed. Hand tools only! - but you can group by use, not size. For bigger stuff, you need ply (or OSB) walls. Putting a couple of screws in is fast, and you save all the time making cleats. Moving is simple, and you can locate them more accurately (not limited by cleat spacing). Totally agree with cubbies (moving divider shelves). Also consider duplication- I keep three sets of most popular drill sizes, one by the lathe, one by the drill press, and one by the hand drills. Saves a lot of walking and takes very little space.

Beautiful shop ideas.
