Shop-made metal pegs
Article Abstract:
The metal peg is made up of a stainless steel machine screw and a short length of 1/4" diameter aluminum tubing that forms a sleeve around the screw and the inner portion of each peg starts as a roundhead machine screw. Chuck the shank of the screw in a drill, begin grinding and pull the trigger on the drill to spin the screw, polish the end with a 120-grit sandpaper, and this peg is ideal to form the hangers on the kitchen utensil rack.
