I used your video as the basis for my french cleat system. I attached my cleats to the shop wall which has osb on it. Once the cleats were attached, it was time to make the various shelves and holders. I have made 25+ and still need about 10 more. I have become addicted to french cleat walls. This is my quarantine relief project. I have toilet paper, I am running out of lumber. Thanks for the video.
Very helpful. simple and clear instructions. Have watched it several times and glad I did. I do not have access to a table saw with a 45 bevel facility. So I will cut the strips with a hand circular saw with a 45 degree option and then cut the right angles on my table saw. I enjoyed your gentle tone devoid of a lot of macho instructions on these kinds of sites.
What a great idea to do it on a sheet of plywood! Perfect for someone who moves a lot like me! Just take it down and bring it with you instead of starting over every time. Great video!
Was watching a video about the cleat wall technique and saw this video. Firstly your voice is incredibly relaxing. I really like the style of your videos and that at the end you have the lessons learned which I think is really humble. Look forward to learning more about DIY.
Loving the idea of using the Danish oil to give a contrasting look and using the 2 by 4 as a spacer. Great idea about the temporary cleat on the wall to help with installing too, I'd have probably just struggled on my own and break my back Haha. I haven't yet got a workshop but I'll keep your build in mind for when I do!
Really enjoyed your video - great pace and style. I wish more people would do a “lessons learned” section, since most of us I bet don’t get everything right the first time. You did a few extra things that I probably wouldn’t do (I would likely have skipped the gluing of the cleats so that I could move them later if needed, as well as routing the cleat board before you cut it) but it was really great to see how other people might approach the same problem - got me thinking. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
I like what you did. Assembling the cleats onto the backing plywood while on the bench makes for a VERY heavy thing to lift and position on the wall. I mounted plywood sheets onto the wall, then added cleats to the sheet using spacing jigs to position the cleats at repeatable spacing. Most holders won't need cleats that run the full width of the holder.
@Duke Makedo You are correct about the weight, but I found it manageable with some help and it was easier for me to layout the cleats while flat. I wanted to have the cleats running the full length of the sheet of plywood for future flexibility in tool location. This way I will be able to move things around in any number of combinations. Thanks for the comments and for watching!
LOVIT ! Putting my shop together at the moment and have a space just for this French Cleat Panel, Post More tool hangers ! Would Love to See ! Thx’s for Sharing
One of the best vids on the FC subject I found on YT 👍, You made a tutorial in the best sense. I am always amazed, how you guys produce these good quality vids, when videocreation is obviously not your prime obsession. thx a lot 😁
Great video. Another useful recommendation: create smaller groupings of items, which enable you to create useful sets of easily portable “toolboxes” that you can shuttle between the wall and bench for common tasks. For example a glue+tape+glue spreader+…. Or a flush trim hand router + associated bits. Or small screw sets plus …
Beautiful job on the cleat system. You might want to re-think the clamp holders. When I set up my French cleat wall I did not want the long clamps hiding valuable available cleat space. I used double layers of tool mounting strips and drilled a 1" hole through. Then attached 1" dowel rods of appropriate length and hooked the clamps over the dowel rod in one row. Eventually that too took up too much space, so I now hang my clamps on the sides of my shop shelves out of the way until I need them.
Love it! I'm a big fan of french cleats. I install them on the backs of the flags that I make so they can hang well on the wall. I also hung the shelf I made for my laundry room on a french cleat. I still wish a made a video for that shelf.
Nice video. Your neighbors ok with that saw going after dark? Lol. Btw, i am updating my garage with these since the old closetmaid shelf fell off the wall.
Wow!! I’m so impressed by this project! This is such a great way to store tools and other workshop items! Thank you for sharing and we are excited for more videos in the future. We just subbed :)
Lol, yes! I agree.. I grew up using my father's tools (he owns a carpentry shop on his property that he ran for a couple decades with employees), and now he's retired and finally getting rid of a lot of tools. He's giving me some of them.
I didn't know Steven Wright was into woodworking! JK, great video. Great final thoughts. A lot of youtubers say they have out the cleat on the wrong side of the holder. You do remind me of Steven Wright as you narrate though!
Nicely done ! The French Cleat wall is the way to go in any woodworking shop IMO it gives you lots of Versatility for holding tools and supplies neatly and organized
Nice show, looking at French cleat videos today. Lots of neat ideas. How about instead of using 3/4 plywood you use 3 inch by 12 inch for the cleat and make a floating bed.
You sir are a very good teacher, loved your video, the edit was great and your commentary is awesome, you just made me listen. I am in the process of doing a similar project only smaller. Thank you for sharing, you have another sub. Regards for the UK
Hi. New subscriber Hals Wood Shop. Good points on the French Cleats. Soon to be an Arizona resident and I picked up on building a part for my next workshop. I liked the details and the lessons learned. Being older we all learn even from simple things. I heard you say about your craftsman saw 45degree cut, I have had that saw, check the belt tension mount at the back of the saw for too tight /long and won't allow the last few degrees. But that saw is a champion.
@Hal Kester Thanks for watching and subscribing! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the tip on the belt tension. The problem actually stems from the way I build the workbench to house the saw. I build one of the vertical supports to close to the motor swing area. So I will have to make a modification to the workbench in the future. Thanks again!
Fwiw, 45 degrees is not a requirement. As long as you match the clear and the hanger and it's significantly less than 90 it works fine. I did some at 60 and they work great.
I’m thinking I’m going to feel stupid after I ask this but, in the moment I’m thinking it’s pretty rational!😁 the tool holders themselves. Can they be built of less than 3/4 ply, say 1/2, and still sit properly on the cleat at 3/4 ply? Nice build, really enjoyed it...new subscriber! I’ve watched a lot of videos and they all act like they would be sharing grandmas secret recipe if they tell you measurements!! You may this much more encouraging to try by giving your dimensions. Thanks...headed to watch some more of your stuff.
@Keith Rayeski as long as the cleat that is going into the other cleat is till 3/4 inch (if that makes sense, both reciprocals of the cleat need to be made from the same material) you can make the actual holders out of anything you want. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
@@CCSandSonsWorkshop got it. So long at the wall cleat and the holder cleat are 3/4, there's no offset between the two and the alignment will match. That's great! I've got a full sheet of 1/2 inch maple plywood I was hoping to use for holders. I'll stick with the 3/4 for my 4' clamp holders because of weight, but it'll be nice to use up that 1/2 for other stuff. Okay...off I go for the shop. Ordered that WEN filtration system through amazon...I had put off a filtration system because of costs but I've long wanted one and now, I'll feel better about the air in my shop and no particulates finding the way into the house! Win all the way around! Thanks!
Simple, yet very useful and efficient. Seems like a very heavy wall using a plywood backing. Could you have used a lightweight hardboard backing installed on the wall prior to installing cleats?
Thanks for watching. Yea, I could have used something lighter, but I wanted to extra stout and knowing I only had to lift it once, I was fine with that. Cheers!
Your style and detail of video w/o of lot of distracting music etc. is a good fit for me. It really helps to clear up what's important vs. just showmanship!
OYG!!! How did this guy get Steven Wright to narrate his video? I kept waiting on a line like "I spilled spot remover on my dog and now I can't find him".
This really is the best video on the topic. I got so many good tips I never thought of. I am planning to do this as well but wonder if I could put the cleat strips on the wall without the large backer board and drill it into the studs. Is there any advantage to either structurally? Or is it aesthetics?
I appreciate the kind words! Yes, you can put the cleats directly on the wall. I wanted to do it with the backer board for aesthetics and portability if I need to move it in the future. Thanks for watching!
I,m getting some greatideas from your videos was going to get some pegboard yes its expens. hear as well now isee a better way after watching good work Graham
I saw that you used a piece of 2x4 as a guide to space your wall cleats. If you laid two pair of cleats on your board, how much additional space is there between each pair. Wouldn't you need a gap wider than a single cleat, when hanging something on the wall, to allow room for the hanging cleat to get into it's resting spot? Maybe an extra 1/2" space? Cheers
Great job, maybe nr 5 is: don't glue the cleats to the board save money and stress if you need changing the cleats on the board. And nr 6 first the board to the wall and then adding the cleats strips thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear you found the video helpful! I used 3/4 inch sanded plywood from the orange box store. They usually have it for sale for around $40/sheet. Good luck!
You could but you would have to be careful not to apply it where the cleat will be glued to the back board. It will interfere with the glue adhesion. Thanks for watching!
A little off subject, but what's the deal with the Shop Vac attached to the 5 gallon bucket? I'm intrigued!!!! By the way very straight forward build and thanks for sharing!

Would you have considered putting a coat of polyurethane varnish in the back board to make it easier to clean and prevent sawdust from sticking?
