Peg Board Accessories?!

e14phil

It's official, the ink has dried and by the end of the month I will be the owner of a new house... a real people house... with a roof... a door... and most importantly...  with a Garage. My maker and engineer project instincts have kicked into overdrive. I need a workbench and Peg Board to organise the mass of tools littering boxes, bags and cupboard in my currently rented house.

 

As an avid 3D Printing fan, I have found this great list of Peg Board mods on Thinginverse, including caliper holders, bottle openers, 3D printing Spool holder:

My question to you is: 
What should I add to my Peg Board tool set up?
Have you a self built or 3D printable accessory of value I should add?

 

 

Best Suggestion in the element14 office so far has been from , declining the beer and coffee holder and vastly improved it as a Kitten holder.

    Congrats on the house.

    A combination of both, works well.

    plastic parts bin for smaller things, or items that you might have multiples of. terminals, connectors, fuses, small screws..etc.

    peg board for the items that you will use most frequently, screw drivers, pliers, multimeter.. Really digging the probe holder.

     

    give yourself room to expand, and do not be too set on a certain layout as ideas and needs change.

    I am a heavy equipment technician by trade and am constantly buying tools to make certain jobs easier, unfortunately some of the tools fit where they fit and things need to be adjusted to make them fit.

     

    You may even find that pelican cases for certain tools with foam layouts might be ideal. But again, keep in mind that layouts can and will change.

    You are certainly right Edwin. I do think for smaller tools it would make them more accessible.
