I know it sounds crazy, but there has got to be an easir way than what I have tried so far. I have lots and lots of ripe peaches just waiting to become cobblers and pies and various other desserts, but I am struggling with the peels.

Take a sharp knife and cut a shallow x on the end opposite to the stem end. Poach the marked peaches in boiling water for about a minute or until you can pull up the skin with a knife. Shock the peaches in ice water to stop cooking. Using the side of a knife and your nail, pull off the peach skins in long pieces--it should come off easily.
You can peel tomatoes the same way.

Try using an apple peeler. I believe they sell them at Wal-Mart or can be purchased from companies such as Pampered Chef. You just stick the apple (or peach in this case) on the spike and rotate a handle to quickly peel the whole thing. Nicer ones can even core and slice at the same time.

the only way I know is to take a knife and cut the peel off starting from the top to the bottom and repeat until it's done. It shouldn't take that long

Drop them in boiling water for just a few seconds then remove them and put them in very cold water. After that the skin practically falls off.

Drop them into boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water, they should slide right off

dip them in boiling water for about 45 seconds or so and they will peel better.
