Tool Wall Panel Organiser

Thought I'd share a couple of photos of my tool organisation panel.

Looks great. Have you drawn round the tools so you know where they go back if you have a lot removed from the board at one time?

The template was used to help me lay them out and pick the final location.

Then I hung it on the wall to guide me as I went.

Looks great.

Like the use of the homemade hooks.

Are there straight pins as well? Did you make those from the same steel rod?

Yes there are straight pins, but they are a right pipper to screw in.
I tried many methods to help get them in (lubricant, leaving a hook and then cutting that off after, pliers, filing a flat etc)
The best method I used was a pair of new long nosed mole grips and setting the grip as hard as I could. It did leave a bit of damage on some, but you don't really notice once the tools are on.

I did also do a loop for the awl which worked OK, but I need to practice those more

sorry if this sounds rude, but why didn't you just use l shape cup hooks

Not rude at all.

I wanted the ability to install custom fitted hooks.
So by making my own they can be cut and threaded to exactly the size I want
