    Pegboard support

    I am about halfway through with my workbench, and I have decided to put pegboard up on the wall above it. How did you guys rig your pegboard supports? 4x8 sheet, turned horizontal. I was thinking about a 1x4 frame with 1x3 in the middle for supports.... any thoughts or experience?

    Toolbox polish/wax recommendations?

    Yea, yea... for all the heck I give the tool polishers, I finally need some help with my own polishing project! I picked up an old KR series box and it needs some TLC. A quick spot check on the back seems to tell me that Simple Green diluted 1:5 will get most/all of the grime off, but I might...

    Socket organization options

    This is a spinoff of the original socket organization thread, mostly looking at what is available without fabrication... but I'd love to see those as well.

    Flex sockets

    I need some good 3/8 flex sockets, metric & std. I already have 1/2 impact sockets, so I'd like a reasonably priced set for my 3/8 drive hand tools. COO US if possible, but doesn't need to be a truck brand. Thanks guys.

    Upholstery stapler advice needed

    I'm looking to start re-covering several boats and need some advice on an upholstery stapler. Need something that I can service/adjust myself. Thinking about a Unicatch, as I used one for years when in the Car Audio scene, but I'm curious if there are any small staple experts on the GJ...

    Anyone done floor to ceiling cabinets?

    Looking for some inspiration for some floor to ceiling cab designs for the new garage. I'd like to do 8' tall cabinets on 3" pipe feet... but I need some designs. I was considering plywood framed shelves, but I think I want everything behind doors. Anyone done something similar?

    Long time lurker, first time poster!

I little history about me: I've done everything from small engine (2/4 stroke) to car audio, network, and theater&automation installation. DIY is my passion, I love creating...

    Surface mounted boxes/conduit for shop power?

    Anyone have some links to projects with metal or PVC conduit to receptacles in a shop surface mount application? I don't want to do wire mold due to cost, but I'd like to see some finished installs before I turn in my electrical final design to our builder. I think the surface mount looks good...
