Monty by Jim Meddick for February 11, 2024

I have tool outlines like that and my wife still can’t figure out how to hang the tools correctly.

Only really useful in a shop class situation. My shop has too many tools to give them their own spot on a pegboard.

He hung the paint brush full of paint.

Maybe it’s tar, since the paint was white.

One of the advantages of pegboards is that you can rearrange their contents fairly easily. Painting outlines on them undercuts that flexibility.

I hate that kind of fussiness.

One of every tool? Cripes I’ve got 7 hammers alone…screwdrivers too many to bother counting. All conveniently placed in their drawers.

I just remember where I took it from and put it back. Now for my next fib….

Good idea! I have a peg board too! ☺️☺️❤️

I think I would need about a square mile of pegboard to hang all my hand tools.

They do this in Vo-Tech schools, so the teacher can see, at a glance , if anything’s not back where it should be. Maybe it works well in some industrial situations, but, at home?

Monty must have a shelf, with tweezers, for splinters, and an assortment of band-aids and first aid cream.

Where’s Columbo? I’m seeing murdered tools. Call CSI!

Do the outline in pencil, and then take the brush off and go over the pencil with paint. Simple.

It’s like cutting open a pair of new scissors in plastic packaging.

Throw the paint brush away. No need to hang it up.

Monty’s got it L-squared away.

Double-check the proud adjustable wrench outline. One side even hangs lower than the other.

Took me a minute…

pretty obvious you are a bunch of guys from the 1950s

I remember a scene in Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie where the neighbor had outlines like this for the things hanging from pegboard in his garage.
