Very nice work areas. If I were to say I wasn't
jealous, I'd be lying. I wanna be more like you
guys. I'll keep inching my way.
My wife's girlfriend says her dad is so organized...
sorts his socks and underware by style and color.
Never mixes 'em up. If it should happen somehow,
he yells.

You're trying to pawn off the wrong engine to me. Spark plugs aren't supposed to face each other. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gifGregW said:
2wrench, it doesn't cost anything to be clean and organized. Just commit yourself to one weekend of dirty work, and your next job will be so much nicer! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

I like the IDEA of peg board. Hanging tools on the wall gives easy access to the ones you use most. But the peg board itself is terrible. It breaks easily, the hooks constantly fly off (major pet peeve) and it looks bad (imho).drooartz said:
In a shop I used to work in, we replaced the peg board at each work station with plywood. Each commonly-used tool was hung from a nail with an outline of the tool painted onto the wood, then filled in with a color. That way the tools always returned to their correct places in the bay from which they came from. If I were hanging tools at home, I would do something similar to this.
One thing you don't see in my garage is the rack for hanging air tools. They take up far too much space in a tool box.

Well, guess I'm in trouble...peg board everywhere - white at that......here's the one that wraps around 3 sides of my workshop:

& here's the one in my "Midget Room" (though I have cleaned it up since the photo was taken):

I haven't had too much trouble with the peg board, but the peg-flying-off is somewhat of an issue. I like the idea of the plywood & nails approach. Once I've got my space finalized, I'll probably go this route. Besides, nails are cheap. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gifSteve_S said:
