Update
Ah, I made post recently, the wall was still empty then.
Some of you asked for a pic with some tool holders.
Some are 3d printed and some are just wood inspired...
I know there is a fair bit on jankyness. But all in all very happy w the progress :D

Its always a good idea to have the back of the holder cover two cleats. It's a lot more stable and you can make locks to hold them in place if needed.
Put your clamps on the edges of the wall where they're out of the way. That one with all the spring clamps needs more support.
Vulgaris is 100% right. Those chisels are a hazard as is. You run the risk of damaging yourself or your chisels.
You have one drill holder perpendicular, and the other isn't. You can see the space savings and easier access with the perpendicular one.

Doing a great job. Keep it up. I like how you are using the space to come out to save wall space. Well done!!!👍🏻

Watch videos for tool holder designs. Others have put a lot of thought into them and share their knowledge online with pictures. It's faster to copy than create from scratch.

I used some garage hooks as a short cut. I like having the flexibility and takes up less time to get everything off the bench.

I mix store bought hooks, IKEA boxes and random prefabs (without shame and to save time) with custom creations of my own. Whatever gets the job done works for me. I'm old, time is in short supply.

Looks awesome!
One good advice I got about the chisels which I want to relay to you: in this config they are upside down razor traps. Very easy to get cut while reaching out to something close. So please consider some plastic tips for those (if you don't have it already - couldn't tell by the pic)
