That is a beautiful and very functional wall. Your tutorial was concise. Thank you for posting it. I bet some of the shelves were moved higher now that your baby is walking.

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Haha, yep we moved them up once she started to walk. Thanks for the kind words.

[@Artistalicia]

Love the shirt!

[@GuyRicheyGibbons]

Love it. Love the Wedding photo in the background. ;) We live in North Salt Lake 👍

[@carlotta4th]

Very useful info on the materials and spacing of holes, thanks! That end result looks amazing in that particular place--draws the eye upwards definitely while it used to be a more horizontal format. You really made that room look big.

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@rosehopkins1668]

Wall looks great. You did a great job.

This is amazing me and my wife are thinking of doing this now

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Do it! It’s been a great addition to our home.

[@user-mt7dj3le2g]

Thank you very much. It is going to help me very much in the pegboard I am making in India. Can you help with the measurements for the support you used to hang the pegboard on the wall? Thanks much.

[@ronstrode9124]

Very nice and flexible!! One critique, 2 1/2” screws to mount plywood?

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Ron Strode thanks! Are you saying that’s overkill or not enough?

[@shio9201]

if i drill in the support vertically, would that be ok? im new to diy projects

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Yeah that would work, you just have to make sure the support is drilled into the stud.

[@Daph__punk]

Great video! Where in the panel did you put the finishing screws?

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Really anywhere that will go into the support boards in the back. the Head of the screws are so small you wont really see them.

[@phenomenal_woman]

How thick is the plywood and can I use something a little thinner? I want to have one made that is 30 inches by 4 feet. to fit the space where it will go. Thanks for the video.

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Yeah you could us thinner plywood like 1/2”. Be careful though be cause the thinner you the less support the pegs have to support shelves and heavier stuff. But 1/2” should be fine as long as you aren’t hanging anything to heavy. Thanks for watching!

[@brittanyalogan5589]

hi there! love this project you made :) were your supports cut from plywood, or are they a piece of 1x4? (or 1x3, my math aint mathing)

[@kazoosc]

he answered another commentor that the supports were also pieces of 3/4 plywood

[@brittanyalogan5589]

oh sweet! ty for taking the time to comment!@@kazoosc

[@GrindinD]

is there a reason why you didnt install a shelf across both boards

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

No reasons you could definitely do that.

[@MaribelLopezj]

What size boards did you use for support?

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

I believe they were just 2" wide pieces of 3/4" plywood. Screwed into the studs.

[@schooljs1]

Mouse rat.... Did you meet Andy at the unity concert or the Lil' Sebastian memorial?

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Man I’ve been a fan of them since they were “Everything Ryhmes With Orange” 😜

[@Anuranjan]

If I bump into them, wont those shelves just fall down?

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Depends on how hard you bump into them! They aren’t meant to be bumped into. If you want to secure them more you can use a C style shelf hook to secure them to the dowels. The dowels stay in the holes very well and support a surprising amount of weight. ours aren’t touched once they are put up unless we want to change what’s on them.

[@KisameSempai]

lol it's nice but how can this be called a poor man's guide with all these expensive tools used.

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Because all the tools used are what made me poor.

[@KisameSempai]

@@SaltCityWorkshop hahaha nice one. Well replied. :)
