I went to Lidl but don't have much if anything tool related/ shop not a huge one. Shame, those would be ideal. Peter this looks a fab find! £15?! Right thats a definite, whatever exactly it has. Small bins are ideal for me too. So I think as the pro hole walls plus the costly hangers are a bit much.. I might go J's idea of diy OSB simply with nails. Though could I fashion some hangers for the holey pro board things, out of coat hangers-? I'll get this, & go from there.. fab help y'all.

Onoff Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 You could... Lay your tools out flat on a thick board. Position where you think you'll want them. Use normal, countersunk wood screws to support the tools when the board is hung on the wall. Draw around each tool with a thick marker. Then paint the board but go around the tool outline. Instant, at a glance "that tool is missing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 +1 to the OSB, a couple of screws and a permanent marker to draw an outline. What I did was take 2l milk cartons (because I'm far to cheap to buy anything proper) , cut off the lid to make a large hole but let the handle in place. Use them to store assorted nails, screws etc. They looks nice and uniform on the shelf too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes mate, very well, I had to make up a few chassis sections etc but bought cills, quarter panels and floor sections that were complicated. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot I like painted ply with the most regularly used tools on it, plus files up on a rack as they don’t do well in a drawer or tool box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoothorn Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 @Roys Hi there. Another fine workshop.. yes I do like the painted ply too, I might follow this idea/ joe90's. I've bought PeterW's placcy suggestion, plus another similar black/ blue from same place tho not entirely sure what it is, but so cheap nevermind. Will update with progress. Thanks all.

I would show you my workshop if I could turn round in it to take a picture. Have a dismantled, very big, sound-bar filling the bench.

Ah you need a mechanical workbench in the garage, and a completely separate electronics workbench in your nice indoor workspace (aka the plant room) I don't think i have photographed that one yet so I might later on, if it's not too untidy.

zoothorn Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) @Cpd That looks great. I think cpd wins the BH 'best workshop' cup.. some pots even levitating too (upon magnets I guess). So many flippin tools! My placcy wall boards already here, amazingly. Any issue adding to plasterboard ? (with typical wallboard rawl plugs). Im not sure what load you can add like so, only having hung pictures so far. zh Edited April 22, 2022 by zoothorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoothorn Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Done a blitz job. For £32 its great, bins especially. It is quite "my first tool kit" aged 10! But sure tidies things up. The blue pegs annoyingly coming away with the tool tho/ not wedged in well, so alot of araldite work to do. It'll do for now & over time I can plan properly a proper diy osb/ nails hanger job I think with ideas from here. ProDave an oscilloscope? Groovy. One thing I need but far out of £reach, & would only use very occasionally. Thanks chaps. On to the next job.. & its a big'un! So buckle up chaps. Gulp.

I have had it 30 years Fantastic score there. You have skills to repair that, bloody eck id not know where to start. Mind you I couldn't use the thing even if it was working. I'd need 11 pages just to switch it on. I had thought of a good thread title in the BH 'lounge'.. "Best 4 things ever bought?" a quite interesting all-encompassing thread from niknaks to well houses perhaps, I thought as an idea. I bet this would be your no.4. (I also thought of another one.. "3 times you nearly died?" but could include illnesses, so maybe not. The idea for it was one of mine: listening to Peter Cook spieling away on my car cassette, we nearly drove off a cliff into the sea due to laughing- driver contorted/ in tears, couldn't see the road. JeesusH.) Anyway back to my shelves, back down to earth. Zoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
