Great thank you!

My likelihood of stabbing myself on those - especially the crazy long-sharp one - is way too high! I wish your palms safety in these dangerous times

Huh, that’s a good point. So to speak. Time will tell…

I have a similar set that I store in a rack but I keep them handles up.

Here’s one I did before from one of the patterns (can’t remember if it was GFF or Premium). I have large slits in the bottom so it would hold them. I want to remake it with your style though, as the pegs on this one are breaking because they don’t exactly fit the holes on my Kobalt tool chest and I keep knocking it off.

oh, i really like those labels

Thanks! I did it so I can easily grab just the one I need without having to check the shape of them. And I know just where to put it when I’m done. One of the few things I put back in the right place!

Yes - part of what makes @Purplie’s design great as having that dual layer both stabilizes the entire object - and what you’re storing in it…as long as you get the holes right

I suddenly have the urge to Cuttlize this design.

It really is a perfect candidate!

Feel free! I don’t have a Cuttle subscription, probably should

Okay, you talked me into it. I did this real quick this morning. This is untested and open to suggestions (within reason 
)
Things to do…
- fix spacing on joints they need to be aligned (with standard pegboard hole spacing)
- adjust for material thickness
- add labels
I am leaving town today and won’t be back to a computer until the next week, until then enjoy.

This is a great first iteration and I’ll check it out for us.

I back home now. Looking at what I wrote, I wasn’t thinking. Pegboard is pretty standard, doesn’t really need variable spacing? Same goes for the thickness, the holes are a fixed size, can’t go too much thinner and can’t go thicker.
The labels would be nice, I could generate the tool holes based on the number of labels.
What do people need?
- Taller? Skip one row of grid holes?
- Wider? How often to repeat the support?

I think there’s a little bit of variation in pegboard with regard to the exact thickness and size of the holes. For my pegboard, I was able to jam it in, but it fit a little better when I lengthened the pegs and made them just a hair slimmer

Maybe the pegs should have a similar fit joint? Or a “friction” edge?

Depends how customizable you want to make your template, I guess! I tried out a few people’s designs…
This one inserts really easily and holds well, but the pegs are a little thinner and I don’t know how much they lose in strength,
This is a very nice friction-edge one, which worked really well. (My preference for the angled hook type instead of the friction edge type is mainly based on the desire to easily and frequently reposition it.)
The one in my design was derived from @markevans36301’s linked above — I lengthened the top peg to make it fit my thicker pegboard, and made it a hair thinner for easier insert, thus:

This is a great example of how to work with constraints. Whenever I want to put something on my pegboard, I reach for the 3D printer because in my mind it requires shapes that I can’t laser cut. But the 3D printed ones are prone to snapping off. This is better! Time to rethink some of my tool organization…

Wider for me, especially for the one I showed with the labels. The wider accommodates the plier handles to fit inside so they’re not sticking out. The pegboard they are on is on a Kobalt toolchest, so the holes on it are just slightly different, and because it’s metal, it’s thinner than regular pegboard. I’m sure that’s why the pegs on this one didn’t fit so well. I haven’t made yours yet. That probably won’t happen until spring when my husband is working outside.

Those are wonderful examples. I really like the idea of using labels as the parameter for the number of holes or slots, but it does limit it to one row.
