Mount peg board on wall above tying station like pages of a book. Cut peg board into (4 pcs) 2'x4' . Build a picture frame around each piece of peg board using 2x4's). Insert a pivot (dowel, metal rod ....) into top/bottom (2' length) of frame (same side). Mount 2 pcs of slotted angle on wall to hold frames. Be sure to align holes. Insert pegboard frames between slotted angle. Flip framed peg board back and forth, like pages of a book. Reduces space required. Allows use of both sides of peg board. Woodsmith (PBS TV show) used this arrangement for holding tools (just saw this episode last week). A video and better description should be available on Woodsmith's web sight.
