It was like a month ago that I gave one of the pegboards in the garage, a good re-organization.
Everything on it was removed and the latest tools I had acquired were the first ones to claim a big chunk of real estate on it.
For the most part I used metal hooks to hang the tools on the pegboard, but this time, for my collection of drill/drivers, I built a small shelf in order to save space... And money. It was done with pieces from the scrap pile. ;)

They were on the floor leaning on the board and every time I set foot close to them, they kept on falling to the floor. 😠So, yeah, I needed a secure place to store them.
I first tried to hang them on some of the metal hooks I had, but nope. no good.
Then, I tried to place them at the top of the pegboard, but the pipe stuck out and it wasn't a secure way to hang them.

When mounted at the very top of the pegboard, that piece kept on dancing, it needed an empty space to be anchored.
So, after trying a few different boards and other gadgets, I finally found a way for them to be secured, right there on the pegboard! And hey, I had everything I needed and most probably you too.
It's SO EASY! Let me show you...
The materials and tools you'll need:
- Drill
- 2 - ½" boards glued together (The ones I used are: ½" x 3" x 16½")
- 3 - 3½" wood screws
- 3 - plastic spacers 3/8" deep - You can also use hex nuts
Directions
I first tried using only one 3/4" board but nope, too thin. Then, I tried a 2 x 4 but it was too thick. I didn't have a 1" thick board, so I glued two 1/2" boards together, driving some brad nails on both sides (too impatient to wait for the glue to dry).
Once both boards were attached together, I pre-drill the holes for the screws and set them in place with the spacers/washers on the back.
Then, it was just a matter of driving them onto the board. However, you need to be sure you're driving those screws onto the pegboard frame.
If you don't have a pegboard, maybe you can drive them onto the studs on the wall.
This is how it looks from underneath:
And here, with the clamps in place.
You can see how perfectly secured they sit.
I was so glad to come up with this easy solution and without buying anything.

Wow! I'm seriously loving your workspace organization! ...and your clamps too! LOL I saw them on Instagram and thought, wow, I need some of those! I finally cleared out a workspace in the garage and have a bench, who knows, maybe next I can find the time to hang some pegboard and make it look neat and tidy! Good job and I'd bet your workspace makes you smile when you work!
