I was too lazy and sore to do the things I should be doing. Previous owners had this pegboard but left no hardware. I finally got the hardware so today I drank beers and did this instead of assembling my garden fence.

Eh. Pegboard is fine. But I prefer to just mount a 3/4" sheet of plywood and screw directly into it wherever I want to hang something.
Notice, there is room for future clamp expansion. I’m a woodworker, and you can never have too many clamps!
God that’s a good set up
You should see the rest of the shop once I get it all put together!
Can’t wait 😊
I like your tape-er towel dispenser
Thanks! It’s just cobbled together from scrap, in this case some bits of plywood and a piece of fiberglass rebar.
Lord of the clamps, teach us your ways!
And you used the cabinet grade stuff. I guess you really live up to that username. I’d have used CDX and been done with it. Mans has wood stainable tool board, respect.
The username is quite literal. I spent several years working on a PhD in civil engineering and wood science. Ended up not finishing for complicated personal reasons. But I’ve quite literally worked as a wood scientist. It is a thing!
I’ve always told myself when/if I’m able to retire some day I’d get into wood working. Do you enjoy what you do for work now?
Currently working doing some structural engineering work in industry again. And it’s alright. I work with good people and the pay’s good. So I can’t complain.
But seriously. Don’t wait. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Yes, you can invest a ton of money into a really elaborate shop. I won’t say you can’t, because I have. But I also got started in it very cheaply. Craigslist, thrift stores, estate sales, habitat for humanity ReStore, etc. Even material can be found cheap if you’re patient. Space can be an issue, but then again, if someone can manage a workshop inside a NYC apartment, then almost anyone can find the space.
That sounds good. I tolerate what I do now too.
The space is definitely an issue. I’ll just keep an eye out for your projects. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
