An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I was too lazy and sore to do the things I should be doing. Previous owners had this pegboard but left no hardware. I finally got the hardware so today I drank beers and did this instead of assembling my garden fence.
Great start!
You've tried the dime bag. What do you have to lose?
Literally just bought that reciprocating saw yesterday, $100 with 2 batteries + charger. Thinking about going back for the circular saw now lol
ya garage needs more tools ,especially the ones you don't need
I don't love organizing, but I hate searching for crap. Totally worth it when each tool has its place.
FYI, minor, but important. A cover for that electrical outlet should be on your list...
Yeah, I need to replace the outlet, too. Plugs just fall out unless I bend them a little.
There's also a mystery switch on the right side. Doesn't control anything as far as I can tell. Maybe the garage door opener was hardwired to it previously?
Good job!
This isn't nearly dull enough for me today.
Now draw some outlines of tools you don't have yet, so it looks like you're unlocking them Hitman 2 style
Or do outlines of guns as a theft deterrent
Eh. Pegboard is fine. But I prefer to just mount a 3/4" sheet of plywood and screw directly into it wherever I want to hang something.
God that's a good set up
You should see the rest of the shop once I get it all put together!
Notice, there is room for future clamp expansion. I'm a woodworker, and you can never have too many clamps!
I like your tape-er towel dispenser
Thanks! It's just cobbled together from scrap, in this case some bits of plywood and a piece of fiberglass rebar.
That is one lovely axe!
I believe that's a maul my friend
Wait, what's the difference?
Axes are for felling trees. Very sharp and acute angle helps to cut through fibers.
Mauls are for splitting logs. Wider angle forces the halves apart and it's heavy as hell so you don't need to use much force.
TIL! Thank you!
Indeed, seven pound splitting maul.
Someday, this could be you.
Get some paint on the peg board! It will look much nicer and last longer. Plus the hooks will stay in better.
Sometimes ya just gotta do the smaller projects, or at least the projects that you've got the bug in ya to do. It's the only way I get any of my projects done around the house. Looks good though, definitely a great start!
Do yourself a favor and buy some peg locks for your hooks and other accessories. The biggest headache with pegboards is that the hooks are made of a much smaller gauged wire than the peg holes and will fall out if you look at them wrong.
Yep, I'm going back to home despot for the fifth day in a row for locks and more hooks.
There's different sizes of pegboard and pegs
I have a good deal of shelving to clean up, but I should install some pegboard too…
This is my project for next week. I purchased 3 shelving units at Costco last week. Wish I had room for peg board like you do.
This is a slippery slope.
Lookin good. I never realized how nice having a pole saw is until I finally got one.
