I’m fortunate enough to have a really large shop. As I’ve purchased more large-sized tools over the years, I’ve outgrown my current shop layout and needed a remodel. This video shows one of the phases for making the shop a more usable space. I relocated my tool wall from one wall to another, but it was way too small. I replaced it using 10ft long tongue and groove pine from the big box store. I wanted it dark so I dyed it dark brown and then used lighter colored wood for the tool holders.
I made jigs for holding the following woodworking tools:
• Chisels
• Squares
• Combination squares
• Card scrapers
• Saws
• Marking knives and gauges
• Various hand planes
• Mallets
Plus, I made a drill charging station! It holds four drills and has a shelf for holding the charger and extra batteries.

Excellent build! Can you share some dimensions on the chisel rack? What's the space between the chisels, center to center? Thanks!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

It’s fun just messing around in your work shop and being creative. Looks fabulous

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I really like the dark stain you used. It gives a really nice separation between foreground and background in your video. 👍

[@justinbyers1441]

Man that turned out awesome, nicely done really organized, great video!!

[@FennahMakes]

That’s a great way to store your tools!!

[@judithmcmillan2734]

Amazing space! Thanks for the fun ideas.

[@shanesmaineshop]

Always looking for way to have a better set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@NewtonMakes]

I'm the same way. I like to see other people's setups for ideas. 👍

[@shanesmaineshop]

@@NewtonMakes So many shops out there and everyone has some new ideas.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

Excellent- some great ideas!

Enjoyed the video. I dream of the day that I can have a shop with good space. In planning for a tool wall, I am anticipating using rows of french cleats along the wall for two reasons. One is that I don't lock myself into one arrangement and it also makes the tool holders portable to carry around and outside the shop.

Carrying tools around the shop tells you you put them in the wrong place... Used in more than one place? Consider duplicates. I have four (reduced) sets of twist drills in my small shop. Outside the shop? A dedicated tool box is the way to go.

Looks good man!

[@NewtonMakes]

It's been great so far!

[@boblasley5640]

Looks good Billy, but now it's quite obvious...........you need MORE tools!!

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

Ultimate? So it can never be improved upon. By you or anyone else. At any time in the future of the universe. Are you sure?

[@wavemanwt]

The anal-retentive in me wants the wooden tool holders to be a dark stained wood like the wall...so you see the tools and not the holders....

[@skippylippy547]

Wave - Yes, same here. 😄

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

Stained? Why not use ebony? With mother of pearl inlay. Good enough for Studley, and this is supposed to be better ('ultimate' means it is the best that ever was or ever can be).
