Need coat rack or coat hook ideas for my garage

[Always_Thinkin]

I am tired of throwing my coats on the workbench etc. in my garage. I have a few ideas to make a garage themed coat rack but does anyone else have unique ideas for my project? The photos are some of the ideas that I have seen and like. At Menard's last weekend I found cheap claw hammers on sale for $3 but they only had two left.

For my mud room i used a piece of composite decking. Routed the edges and put on four coat hooks.

They used to sell curved box end wrenches. I forgot what they were used for.

Use Google and put in something like "Coat rack hammer" or "Coat rack tool handles" and choose images.

Thanks for bringing up an interesting idea. Above from Google searches of various "........... coat-rack" like "tool themed" "shop themed" "garage themed" "automotive themed" etc.

A couple of them occurred to me while searching. like an engine valve coat-rack and an intake/exhaust manifold coat-rack.

engine valve coat-rack..

Fun idea.

Maybe get 4-5 old brake shoes. Make them like a C only laid on their back. Paint-em up, orange for chevy,blue for ford ect.
A couple of drums on each end laid flat for hat racks.

Well ?

what did you decide ?

One I've welded up for some friends is made from 3/8" long slices of 1-1/2" or 2" angle iron welded to some flat bar like |v and mounted to a piece of maple, which I would probably skip in a garage. A little more flare than just nails or welding some rod to flat, but still much cheaper than buying hammers, valves, or forged hooks. Of course if you don't have a welder...

Well ?

Well there are a lot of ideas here. I have to say that I am amazed at what everyone came up with. The attached photos are ones I plan to look into as far as cost. I like others also but some might become more expensive than I planned on originally.

This week I added a coat hook to my kids workbench. I was happy with how it turned out and the kids really liked it. I took a few pictures also.

That looks cool (the hammer idea) but something I'd never do. I just stick robe hooks on the wall when I find them on clearance. Though admittedly hammers would hold a bunch more (per hammer head) than those stupid hooks but it's not like I've got that much to hang on them.
