Pegboards may not be flashy, but they serve an important function. They keep your tools and supplies in a central place where you can easily find them, as opposed to in a messy pile on your desk or the floor (where they could create a safety hazard and are also vulnerable to getting broken).

Use it to display and store an assortment of items you need easy access to, including tools, craft supplies, and children’s toys, a kitchen wall, jewelry, or a gift-wrapping station. After you identify the use for your pegboard, then you can choose the appropriate size for the location in your home. However, keep in mind that unscrewing and re screwing the dowels with this method can eventually wear out the holes, even in a plywood panel.Also, if you plan to use this method, you will need to use the 9/64 drill bit for both the holes in the panel and the holes in the dowels.
