Pegboard layouts

[Pietenpol]

Found some software online but I think I'm just going to lay the tools out on the floor and swap around until I find a layout I like. Just wondering if anyone out there has pictures of their tool wall to share. All of the centers have a tool wall but it really isn't that organized.

Here's what I did in my home shop to keep pegs from pulling out when the tool is removed.

Use .020 wire, about 6-8". Guide thru hole below the peg so it comes out the hole just above. I put a 90 bend in the wire about a 1/4" long, then another bend that matches the distance between the 2 holes. When it gets to the upper hole grab with a needle nose and pull enough thru to go around the peg, twist the two ends together. Get it tight. trim off all but a 1/2" of the pig tail, then bend the pig tail so it doesn't stick out to avoid being scratched by it.

Could possibly use a wire staple to secure it to the board.

A dab of silicon works real good 2

Great ideas guys. This is why I hate pegboard...You touch one thing, and three others fall off.

I like the tips but I'm really looking for how everyone has their tools arranged on the board. If you have a peg board or tool wall snap a pic and upload it. Curious to see how everyone has their wall organized.

Here is how my tool board and shop are layed out....

Although I must say the hot water urn in teh photo has since passed away since the photo lol.....

And I use peg board also, but don't really have the problem of tools or pegs falling off, I slightly bend outwards the hooks before inserting them making them a little tight....

Nice and organized Pin Head, love it.

Here's ours. I kept the same layout from our old centre.

At my center on a Monday morning, had to find most my tools that had not been put back during the weekend.

That drives me effing INSANE!! I HATE having to spend 30-60 mins looking for tools!!!

Kanga...no Allen wrenches on the board?

[Kanga (James)]

No. The smaller tools like Alan keys, screw drivers, socket set and some of the less use tools are stored in a metal cabinet against the opposite wall. They also have a particular location on the shelves, and it's death to those that do not put them back in the exact same spot each time.

Here's how I laid out my tool wall - I used sheets of 16mm MDF (dynabolted to wall) instead of pegboard :

Not even going to post a picture of our set up at my center haha. We just use a huge craftsman tool chests. Pretty much 2-3 sets of every hand tool.
