I had a shelf come crashing down and the wall space is now covered in peg board. I put up a 4 x 8 sheet and bought some multi-piece packs of hangers etc to get started.



The thing I'm realizing about this board is that its a "organize as you go along" type of thing. My tools are in the tool box, and I'm not sure I'll hang a bunch of tools on it. Maybe some miscellaneous ones though.



So post up how you guys organize your boards and what kind of stuff goes on the boards other than your tools. Share some pics if you got them, I'm looking for some ideas.

 

All my power tools, paintcans, and cleaning stuff is in a large gladiator storage cabinet. The pegboard is just for hand tools. There's more space behind the stereo.

 

You could organize as you go along, or spend a couple days figuring it out and throw them up there in order with stenciled locations and everything. How neat do you want your space to look? That's how much effort you need to spend on organizing your pegboard.

 

I would throw them all up then arrange them as you go. I know I've had those up there for a few years, yet I just moved a few around this past weekend. I'm working on 3 projects right now, so that sometimes decides where I want the tools. Also, the compressor had to be on the left, so all the air tools sat over there. Next came the most used tools such as wrenches and sockets, which sat in the middle over the workspace. Then came the screwdrivers and specialty tools on the right.
