A neat and quick solution. I need to get my squares and calipers onto the wall and will use some of your good ideas. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

Great use of space. The peg board base blends in with the shop peg board. Glad to see your use of the feather board on your table saw. I know of two people that have had table saw mishaps in the last couple of months. My brother in law nicked two fingers and my neighbor (a 40 year plus, journeyman carpenter) shaved off one of his finger nails. They both knew better and had the proper tools available. Do you have a full compliment of squares at this point? I don't own any of the heavier squares that you located lower right. I assume the variety of sizes allow you to fit into areas that your combinations can't be used.

Thanks Pete! I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. I’m a big believer of using the feather board. I like my fingers! I made a feather board to attach to the fence as well to keep items from riding up on the saw blade. For my needs, I think I have all the squares I require. The squares on the lower right are machinist squares. They are very accurate and yes, will fit a variety areas from smaller to larger. I just bought them about three weeks ago and find that I use them a lot.

Any suggestions for storing combination squares and hacksaws in a portable tool bag?

Sorry, but never had that need. If you come up with something clever, please share!
