when it comes to tool storage on a wall you have basically two options pegboard
and french cleat i prefer pegboard for my hand tools but i hate when the hooks are falling
down each time i pick something so i made this custom pegboard organizer to resolve my problem
and today i'm going to show you how to make this tool organizer the first part of our
video will be the build of these organizer and the second part is how to hook them on your pegboard
and let's get started alright so i start with the plier organizer first i take one of my plank where
i already added some marks on it to show you where i will glue the small pieces then using some wood
glue i glued them in place and as you can see i alternate between longer and shorter pieces
check the link in my description for more details but remember this is custom made for my pliers
next i put some wood glue on all my pieces and i had the top plank i clamp everything together
and i let it dry then i move to the next one screwdriver organizer this is another simple one
well they are all simple i just glue my two pieces together then i clamp them until the glue dry
and once it's dry i drilled the holes for the screwdrivers at every one and a half inches apart
then to give more support i had some triangle scrap pieces to the bottom
and we are done for this one alright so the next organizer is a tape holder
but you could make something similar for your shop towel it's a simple plank where i have had
a two side flap on which i drill a hole the size of my dowel so in this case is 3 8 of an inch
once the hole are drilled i glue the side flap on my plank and then i simply insert the dowel
to the holes so we have done our third organizer and we can move to the next one
and the next one is an organizer that can be used for a lot of stuff
in my case it will be for my markers my crayon rulers and my utility knife i made mine with
only two compartment but you can make it the size you want you could have 10 compartment wide if you
want you need to customize the organizer for your needs and if you plan to make these remember that
i have a link in my description with measurements in details and with all the pieces glued together
or ford organizer is done the last organizer is a simple plywood bin much better than the plastic
bin that you can buy but that always break this one is a tough one again i simply glue all the
pieces together like the last 4 organizer and we can move to the part 2 of this video alright
now that all our tool organizer are assembled we need to find a way to hang them onto the pegboard
so let's check this out here is our pegboard as you can see the distance between each holes
is one inches so when designing your organizer the side of your boxes needs to be at every one inches
because you need to align them with the holes on the pegboard why because we are going to
screw some l hooks on the back of the organizer and that's why it's important that the sides of
your organizer are at every one inches because it's in these that we will screw or L hooks so
in my case my box sides are 4 inches apart center to center so they will align with the holes on my
pegboard i'll show you how to install them let's go so i start with my L hooks that i will screw
on the back of my organizer i draw two lines at one quarter of an inch from the top then i make
another mark on this line at 3 16 of an inch from the side then i drill a pilot hole on both side
and this will prevent the plywood from splitting then i start by screwing my L hooks by hand
and i finish using my vise grip and the depth of your hooks will depend on the thickness
of your pegboard and there we go it should look like this and now do the same thing for
all your organizer and you'll be ready to hook them on your pegboard
and now be creative there are thousands of possibilities for what you can create
the one i made are pretty basic to make but also easy to make tell me what you want to see next in
