When we left off, I was waiting for the pegs to come in for the pegboard in the loading room. They came in today. As you may recall, I had laid out the tools, penciled around them and then drawn in then shadowing with the bold red marker. 8-) I am SO Cool.

Well, not really. You may notice, if you look closely, that on the wrenches, I lined the hole in the wrenches UP on the hole in the pegboard. :? :roll:
As Homer Simpson would say, "DOH"

Those familiar with peg board pegs would know that the really stable pegs use two legs, and the PEG sticking out is centered between the two holes.
So... "DOH." :evil:

Oh well, I went out to the shop, reached in the coffee can filled with the hundred or so wooden pegs resting there, and ....
Pulled four out. Four you say? Yup, the spanner wrench would hang crooked without drilling a hole in the pegboard to hold a peg in the lower left side to keep it straight. Crooked would be fine, except it annoys my anal / OCD side. :P

I put the single wooden pegs in the holes with a dab of glue on the bottom of the wooden pegs. I placed a rubber band around the leg of the metal peg that would line up with the wooden peg and placed it in line with the individual peg below it and hooked the rubber band over the very end of the wooden peg to place tension on that peg. When the glue dries the peg will have an upward tilt.

Couple hours later, the glue is nicely cured, the board is ready to hold all the tools. Done. :)

I finished the last of the 500 rounds of 9mm for miss T yesterday. Then removed the 9mm toolhead from the 550b, and cleaned the press, and put everything away again. Next up? I'll likely load some lswc match 45, but it will be a few weeks before it's needed.

Ltl, believe me, I've been on this and other forums and I just figured out how to post pics last week. And still not to good at it, but, its coming around.
Got a teenager in the house? Someone like that will show you how to do it in no time. Trust me.

That color really pops like I am sure those will when the hammer falls Randy!
I am loading up some 44 Magnum 240 XTP with 2400 now. Have a bit more 44 shooting coming up soon.
