I've never thought about organizing tools on the wall based on where they'll be used on the bike. Love the key idea too! Great video!

I like how you laid everything out on cardboard on the floor. Simple yet smart.

I have today received the Giveaway present consisting of the TS-4 truing stand with base as well as the TM-1 spoke tension meter. See Tech Tuesday #100. Just a word of thanks to Park Tool for this wonderful gift. I run a small MTB service/maintenance workshop from home and these tools will now enable me to extent my wheel building service to also include wide rims. Also many thanks to Calvin Jones for the informative advice on the Tech Tuesday channel. Dick Rautenbach, Centurion, South Africa.

Thanks for the tips! Just doing my shed out and with limited space I love the idea of laying it out on cardboard first. Cheers!

Great video! Send all those tools my way. I love tools.

As usual a great vid 😃. I think one reason peg boards are usually white is because of contrast, and cleanability. If after you have finalized tool position, a sharpie, and some neo magnets might also help with tool relocation. Should you add tools some spray paint helps with the relocation process. Keep them wheels a rollin, and them wrenches a workin. MQQN----😎

Man, that white looks clean and makes the tools stand out, but I'm not a big fan of peg board. For practical use I can see where it would be hard to keep it white.

Great vid!
Coaster-Break rebuild tutorial PLEASE!

As a humble home mechanic, 90% of my work only requires a set of hex wrenches. Everything else goes in the drawer. :)

Put the largest/heaviest tools as high as possible on tiny hooks and then open bottles of lube and solvents on the benchtop. Guaranteed good times!

[Scottso]

Great approach to organization. What brand/type of bench vise is that?

[MrBasstiano]

Great video as always! whats the size of that pegboard? I'm building my workshop and I need a reference hahaha. Thanks!

[wreams]

3:00. Bug issue. The key doesn’t tell you where to put the key.

Looking at drawers for under our workbenches. What are the blue drawers under the workbench in this video?

[flaquedevomis]

How do you call the short hooks that you are squeezing in with a hammer in the board? Somehow I'm totally unable to find similar ones. Thank you!

Where is this shop located and do you have security? Asking for my cat.
