I wanted my man cave to have the appearance of a productive, organized wood shop, I felt this could be done by using hardboard. I put 4x8 pegboard at the top to hang my tools and used solid hard board at the bottom. I put two six inch wide shelves on the walls where I intend to not put a workbench. The top shelf is to be used for display items and the bottom one is to place workstation tools and accessories. The shelf is also where I mounted my dust collection hoses. By limiting the shelf width to 6 inches no additional support is required and still allows room for drills, chargers, adjustment tools and additional attachments. There is still plenty of room for hanging items on the pegboard.
I had several problems with aligning the panels due to the slope of the roof and the cement floor, but isn’t that why they invented trim. It took some tricks to keep the shelves from appearing not level. Now that all the electrical outlets are covered I am able to call the city in to do one last inspection.
