Well, if you like pegboard like I do, you can hang small shelves on it to
make it even more user friendly.

Using 3/4 inch stock, glue two pieces of wood together at right angles. The
width of one could be 3 inches the width of the other about 5 inches and a
length of about 12 inches is handy. Glue on the longer edge square. In the
top back corner you can screw in two "L" hooks. They look just like the
letter that describes them. Buy them at your local hardware store. Screw
them in so they point up and create a hook to go into the peg board. Of
course you'll have to line up the hooks with your pegboard. But once that's
done you'll end up with a 5" shelf that you can position anywhere on the
pegboard. Real handy for small items like glue bottles and such.
If you need a picture emailed better describing let me know.

6 Days of cleaning and organizing, I finally got the new lathe to fit
in. Not well, but in. I built a tool holder for the lathe that mounts
on the table behind the lathe and high enough to reach all my tools.
I
thenb moved the lathe near a wall and mounted the rest of the items I
have on some pegboard behind it.

After my wife asked a few questions about how I store stuff, I
decided
to ask all of you this question.


How do you prefer to store your tools and accessories? Open racks
(pegboard like)? Cabinets? Tool Boxes?


I have found that I am not a big fan of cabinets, tool boxes or tool
bags. I like my tools out where I can see them and get to them
quick.Not through need, but I seem to use the right tool for the
right
job more often and spend a little more time selecting the tool than I
do looking for it. So, I have a LOT of pegboard and just a few
cabinets, and my main cabinets are either open (no door) or have a
glass door. Yewsterday I spent about 2 hours figuring out where to
mount some of my Pinnacle and Starrett measuring tools and now I am
looking for an effective way to store some items like my Incra and
Veritas gauges, dovetail gauges, marking gauges, enginners squares
and
one of those combination squares with 3 different level devices.


I do have some drawers that I built that are under some of my larger
tools, 3 drawers under my router tablke to hold router associated
tools, under my high speed grinder for nothing since it is usless,
under my carving table for carving wood storage, etc.
