- SAVE space, Clear your WORKBENCH and FLOOR, Tidy quicker and easier. As a WOODWORKER, I love my FRENCH CLEAT tool wall. You can make these holders out of SCRAPWOOD or make them more attractive. One looks like a toilet but is the most useful addition to my FRENCH CLEAT system.
Every holder is super easy to make and uses nothing but PLYWOOD offcuts.

Thank you for watching and happy woodworking.
Love the Bluey cameo! And your style. Thank you.
Oh wow, I totally forgot about that. Thank you, made me smile.
Please leave a like, comment and subscribe. But most importantly watch as long as you can. This is what drives the channel forwards best. Every little helps. All the tools I recommend are in the description. Thank you for watching
Excellent Love this Channel.
Hi . Thank you so.much. very kind.
You're right. The bin bag holder does look like porta potty,
especially, with the blue bag. All it needs now is folding legs. 🤣
Hi Zapa. I wish I had thought of that lol. Double use. Thank you as always for watching and commenting.
Might be handy when you're really busy or can't be bothered going back into the house.
@@AusWorkshop: Oh dude. That did Not need to be said. 🤢🤮
I was going to say it is too early but then noticed it was late night, for you.
So timing is not the issue. 😁✌🖖
@@zapa1pnt So true. I blame the late nights and too much coffee.
@@AusWorkshop: Yes, late nights and sleepless mornings can, certainly, skew
your mood, attitude and self control. (Ask me how I know)
Then, of course, too much coffee can get you thinking about this subject matter, without
you even knowing it. A bad combination all around. 😁✌🖖
Love the bog seat!
Thank you Ian. It still has a place in the main part of my work flow.
This video gives real world uses for the use of French cleats to store tools. Enjoyable, interesting, and allows the imagination think about my solutions. Thanks
Thank you
Wonderful collection of french cleat holders. Simply made, but useful. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
And you watched the earlier one. Wow. thank you again .
Another interesting video (loved the amusing insets !)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Functionality in shop tool holders is important. Well done!
Hi Joey. Thank you. And thank you for watching.
Great job as usual! Keep up the good work.
Thank you much appreciated. And as always , thank you for watching and commenting.
Great ideas. French cleats are wonderful! French wine is great too!
It is a close run race between the two. Maybe a French cleat to hold a wine bottle and everyone wins.
@@startmaking1 YES!
What i did in my workshop; i made a wall for some flat tools like saws, to hang on and then made another wall that hangs on two cleats, top and bottom, that i can slide from side to side. That way i have two walls of tools in the same space as one!
That is nothing short of genius. And would allow me to buy even more tools. I love it.
@@startmaking1Cheers! Can never have to much tools! 😁
its perfect thank you so much
You are very welcome.
I love my French cleats. The only problem I've got is that I've run out of wall space. I've found that magnetic strips are excellent for holding screwdrivers, pliers and even hammers.
Hi Costa. Great to hear from you. Hope that you are well. I used the nobble on the gluebot lid this week and thought of you. Cant believe I didn't see it before. I had fun with this set of holders. the bin is actually really useful and great to be able to move it away., Only good in a small space I guess. Thank you as always for watching.
I've watched a few of your videos and they are always entertaining and informative. I became a new sub today! This will come in very handy when I set up my new shop!
Wow, an old one but one of my favourites. Thank you very much.
Really nice and simple but so useful.
Hi Adam. Thank you. I was really trying to not try too hard. Tempting to want to make them pretty. Thank you for watching.
Hi there, long time listener, first time caller. This is sharply, punchy, excellent gifs. Class content
All time legend. You missed that off
Haven't used French cleats but after seeing this I may have to give them a go... just got to figure out where to mount them!
Hi Jim. My first instinct is to reply, everywhere. But in truth it is only practical if you have the right wall space to put them on. My first video on this shows the initial process but in truth it is super simple. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
@@startmaking1 With a little clean up and rearranging I've got the space. The wall portion can be attached to the studs, then I can hang ever how many boxes, hangers or whatever I need to those. It will make for a good project this winter! Glad I found your channel, really enjoying the videos and getting some great ideas.
It's kind of funny, I'm liking my English and Australian channels more and more!
@@Jimc4007 Hi Jim. That is very kind. It's funny I tend to watch a lot of US and AUSSIE ones. Though there are some brilliant UK ones that I can only hope to emulate one day. The. I finally get a real workshop I will do what you suggest and hang a board with the cleat on it. Far better than. what I have,
Mark. The bin cleat, need to patent that fella 😮
lol, and maybe make it a little smarter. Still, it already has a cleat in the new workshop. So simple.
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Hi. Thank you so much. Very appreciated. And thank you for watching.
@@startmaking1 Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
The drill bits in the wrap look like sugar bits to use with an old brace and bit hand drill great video keep up the good work 😁
Thank you. Appreciate the information.
Auger bits I meant Haha
I think you are right.
For the spring clip clamps, does storing them clamped to wood wear out the springs faster? I know they are cheap but having enough working clamps on hand can be a lifesaver.
Mine have not. I think that even when they are completely closed they are still under tension so adding in a piece as thin as 5 mm ply is probably ok. But you do raise a good point.
Just found your channel. Really liking what I have seen so far.
May i ask, how big is your shop? . I decided to get into wood working as it has been a childhood dream of mine to work with wood. My shop is small and I mean SMALL, I am a new wood worker and am finally in a house where I can have my own little space.
Hi Viracocha. Thank you for watching and commenting. Very kind comment too. The shed/shop is around 3 m long and 2 m wide. Not nearly big enough but cosy. It was also a dream of mine. I am very happy to hear you are following your dream. Feel free to reach out with any questions or equally any advice you can offer me.
Hello, me again. If you arrange your hammers horizontally, you would not have to move up to three hammers to get the one you want- and it would not be much wider. Indeed, if you stagger the height so the heads do not clash, they pack tighter.
Staggering the heads is sound advice. Thank you Mike.
Hey Mark great video again. Right now most my storage Is in boxes or shelves or small drawers or scattered over the shelf's/bench. May have to look few these look good. 🏴👍
Hi Michael. I can finally see my floor . Well, I could. I have just started a project that is about half the size of my shed so room is an issue. That, and the one wall of my shed just started to leak. Fun times. thank you as always
@@startmaking1 yea that's not great to be fair a need a bigger shed/workshop never mind trying clear space although that's a work in progress. Getting wetter and darker outside so working outside at nights is getting more and more difficult. Keen to see what your working on. Got another table about ready go nice dark elm this time. 🏴👍
@@michaelwillson6847 Wow you are churning them out nicely. Well done. Im tied into making a desk for my youngest daughter. Just from Plywood but to make it fun I am trying to put some secret spaces in . Though I have just had to order 20 boards of shiplap to replace the entire wall of the shed. The rain is just flowing in. Real pain. There is a part of me that is tempted to build a workshop in my garden but the one issue is that I don't know how to build a workshop. Would make a great video series though. Or a really expensive nightmare.
@@startmaking1sounds wicked. This one has been about 6 months in the works looking nice though. to be honest see if you go look at Keith from ragnbone he has a 2 or 3 part video on building a shed and not that a think it would be easy but way I've looked at them is kinda like cross between a massive box with a slightly pitched roof kinda box come she'd come log storage all into 1. I think you'd be fine doing it I am seriously considering it aswell got space out the back door thats just begging to become one for me and better let the wife use it for art work aswell but I considered doing it out stuff like 2x4s for frame 4x4s for the corner brackets and 6ml ply to complete then bit insulate and 18ml fence material which is about 1.30 a 1.8m legnths up here the now. But that could be project for the spring.
@@michaelwillson6847 Absolutley agree. It was that video that made me believe that I could do it. The only one issue I have is that we live in a terrace with zero access to the garden . So all pieces need to come through the house. Possible but hard. Also I would want to run power down there and if I did that the cost of the tools that I want would be huge.
Hi Mark, Another really useful video. You need to make some more cos I will have caught up soon!
I’ve started my French Cleat project and have taken a ‘Before’ photo of the current setup for a later date comparison. Amazon should be delivering some magnetic strips today as I thought that was the simplest starting point and I hope to get the first tools mounted before the end of the week (time and more importantly, wife, permitting)! Will send you some photos as it progresses.
Looking at your wall, you seem to have gone for quite a high gap between your cleats compared to some other builds I’ve seen. Is that because of the tool size or economy or a bit of both? I’m still trying to figure out the ideal spacing.
Don't over think the spacing based on mine . I played it entirely by ear as i tend to do. If you have more smaller tool holders you could easily put the cleats closer. If you are hanging larger ones, there is less need. The choice is all yours depending on use and aesthetics. You can't really get it too far wrong. Can't wait to see the photos and those magnet strips are perfect for small stuff and files etc. I'm toying with sticking a thin foam strip.to mine to cushion the metal on metal on my chisel one.
@@startmaking1 nice idea with the foam - just for the more delicate ones, though… hmmm… might see if I can pilot that for you. ;)
New to woodworking but why glue and screw?
Hi DSC, Thank you for your comment. I use screws because I don't have a brad nailer. But glue is because over time the movement will possibly loosen the joints. Mainly on the heavy use and heavy weight stuff. I hope that this helps.
Thanks very much for responding Mark. As you post more things I will probably pester you for more answers to my questions. Keep up the good work it helps this beginner not feel overwhelmed.
@@Dan-Nobby-Clarke Honestly. I welcome the questions. Makes me feel useful.
