Just a suggestion, I would add a rolling ladder like they install on tall bookshelves in libraries to access the high areas
That would be a good build for YT.
Or a cherry picker !
But it, 6’4” there’s not a lot he can’t reach.
Yeah, was thinking the same once i got a sense of scale of his space there! and I think that would make for excellent YT viewing in his builds format!
@@suzannehofer2541 He's using a ladder in the video....
LOVED THIS! Respect from Canada for my Yankee brother 07
Very nice! I do prefer your design and the way you've taken account of weight and torque. Excellent! Rgds Stu - Auckland New Zealand
French client walls are awesome I love mine, yours looks freaken awesome. South Africa is where I’m watching your videos from. 🇿🇦
Hello Sir, I my name is Zaw Oo. I am from Burma. I am also a U.S Army veteran. you mentioned in the video that you will place the flags from all over the world. That tell me that you are not a prejudice person. Thank you for that. Love watching that French Cleats video. Salute you, Sir.
Loving the video. Really easy and informative build with lots of great tool holder choices. All the best from Scotland 🏴
Aussie here love the wall!
South African living in the UK, great video love the wall!
Great video as always. Educational with great pacing. Kevin from Ireland 🇮🇪
Good idea. I love it. I'll try to make it in my workshop. I am from South Yemen
Great video! Thanks for sharing your skills.
Enjoyed hearing your idea to display flags across the globe, I find this both creative and inclusive! Cheers from Texas!!
Hi. I am Dori from Iceland. It is a great video and this French cleat system you made is awsome. Hopefully I can make something similar in my garage🇮🇸👍
That OSB wall in the background looks great. Your great wall of French cleat's awesome. From Brunei
great job Zack, it's a pleasure to watch your work, greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱
Very cool project, I just loved it.
I am from Egypt
Thanks for the tips and tricks. And greetings from the land of thousand lakes, Finland 😊
finally a french cleat video, just what I needed.
Thanks for the video. Subscribed from New Zealand.
what a brilliant video and showcase of the ingenious things you can create with the right knowledge and range of tools... totally inspiring to a new wood-worker from Northern Ireland 🇮🇪🇬🇧 (don't have the N. Ireland flag included, so you're getting a great deal on 2 for 1 here 😂)!
I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have used French Cleats for years and find them practical and ingenious to store all my tools.
Wonderfull wall. I have a bit smaller wall at my garage. But i will build a french cleat wall soon here. Great idea!
I'm from Fryslân.
I’m from Philippines brother. Thanks for sharing your ideas
Great video, thank you.
Regards from Cyprus 🇨🇾
Springbok all the way! South African living in South Africa 🤣Great video!
Hello I’m from the uk and a beginner wood worker I really like the videos you are putting up on TH-cam specially the one about the modular workbench great idea as only have one room to do my woodworking in and rent my apartment. Keep up the good work and great how to videos
Thankyou Zak great channel
Glad to see a new vid up man. I'm from St. Vincent and the Grenadines! Good luck finding that flag! Subscribed, Notifications liked and commented!
Awesome job, you've inspired me, I'm about to give it a go myself and try and build a French cleat storage system in my container workshop, I'm not much of a wood guy so wish me luck!
It would be great to see a New Zealand flag up there if you can! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
Good luck!
That’s genius! I’m watching from Inglewood, CA but I’m from El Salvador 🇸🇻 you’re gonna need another flag 😎
ola. eu sou de Portugal. adorei o seu vídeo... hello. I'm from Portugal. I loved your video
Just saw this video now from Australia. 🇦🇺 love the French cleats.
I enjoyed watching looks nice well done from the United Kingdom
Great inspiration... I am in the process of having a shop built here in Mexico. We are originally from the states but have chosen to retire here in Mexico... I will be incorporating a series of your build ideas in the new shop... Keep up the good work and you can hang the Mexican flag... Best regards, Roger
Awesome, No "BS". Straight to the point. Great edit. I'm using your system.
No BS? The music is BS!!! I originally subbed, but could not listen to the music anymore. Cancelled my sub and moved to some other site. If he likes shitty monotonous music then he and everyone else can do it without me.
Oh my God I don’t own the tools you have. I just have one or two drills and a sawzall but I’m so inspired to build a wall and organize a ton of tools just as you have done! I was searching french cleats, and had no idea I would StumbleUpon that’s awesome channel!! I’m in the USA but when I’m not I’m in Portugal! Add the flag, brother! Thanks for making it fun and interactive!
8/16/24 Hello my name is Fred I am in Philadelphia and I am building a small work shop I am 73,years old I love the idea of the Franch Cleat wow that gives me some great ideas I have a basement reproof with Tung and Grove walls and have a few tools and a short space to work with the franch cleat will work well Thank You...
Wow, excellent video on these french cleats. I’m now convinced that this is my next project. I’m from the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
Loved it so far. Portuguese carpenter here
I'm from Georgia, Love the American Flag! (Veteran) Thanks for all the videos you make. This French cleat idea is something I am going to try in my little shop! Keep up the great work!
Minnesota born and raised! Just started my own French cleat wall, looking forward to getting those creative juice's flowing. I may or may not be copying some of yours :)
Heya Mate, Pat from Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. Watched your video as I am starting my first French cleat project tomorrow morning, cheers for sharing your work
THanks. I have just started a french cleat section on my wall. Starting to realize I may need to expand it. Seeing the different shelves helps a lot.
I have been thinking about the French cleat system for awhile. Today I’m starting the build today. Thanks for all the info and the ideas.
Great video currently in Tennessee but originally from France
Love your videos, and love this wall (though I'm LMAO on the size)! Love the corner clamp rig, disc sander rig, and your use of magnetic tape. I'm building this project today! I've built your modular workbench project, and will probably build your mitre saw table project too. Best of luck w/your content biz - keep the great vids coming! Brilliant idea on the flags; I'm next door in WI.
Thank you for a nice video. Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮.
Fantastic! Just found this channel. I’m going to add the French cleats to my shop.
From Nepal, living in the US. Just started my woodworking journey and have loved this as well as the planer and tablesaw workbench with folding wings and modular workbench videos. Planning on building something similar. Thanks for all the great design ideas and tips. And keep them coming please!
Liked the mix of build versus why, support types etc. I had forgotten the paper transfer trick for screw holes on battery chargers and the like.
So nice to see you don't have to buy a mountain of cheap plastic or metal hangers. Just spin the wheel you already have in your head. Nice job!
I like your work I’m jealous for you big wall I’m living in North Carolina I’m from Guatemala 🇬🇹 God Bless You
God Bless America 🇺🇸
Hi this is Bear from Kingston upon Hull in the UK what a brilliant idea I wish I had your skills. Keep the excellent videos coming thank you Bear Hull UK
"I'm a new beginner from the Czech Republic looking to add a French cleat wall in my workshop for my tools. This was the video I was looking for to help me build a great wall! Thanks for the video!"🤗
Your ideas of french cleats are well designed, really enjoyed the video keep them coming, from Your northern cousin, Canada
A great Ida! Especially the flexibility to move holders around extremely easy. Easier than moving hooks not to mention screws. looking forward to more inspiration from a Danish fan. 🇩🇰
I’m Canadian (not French Canadian), but I love French cleats(ha ha). I do have some on one wall, but they are spaced a lot farther apart(16”). After seeing yours, I’m going to add some in between. Thanks for sharing your great setup!
Simply amazing. Just discovered your channel and going crazy for woodworking in my spare time, learning so much from you, thank you!! I live in NYC, I’m originally from Italy 🇮🇹
I like this it nice as for the chip board I would have painted it with a light gray deck paint to contrast the the cleats the cleats could be white to give you a consistent wall color a pattern.
Thank you, finding the measurement of 5 inch strips with a long side cut of 2 3/4" (for the 45 degree cut) was very helpful!
Awesome idea with the flags!!! Like the fact you didn’t belabor a point and quickly went through construction. Enough detail and NOT to slow. Thank you
Mr. Kimball, I enjoyed your video. I have long set up my shop like yours. to the point where I can pick a tool without looking at it, or if I'm on a job, I tell my wife exactly where to look.
I will definitely use some ideas from your show, too. Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas.
Excellent idea with the flags. I’m from Jamaica currently living in British Columbia, Canada. I’d love to see my Jamaican on your wall.
I also really like your French cleat wall.
Very inspirational. Keep it coming from Palos Verdes, CA
Dev from Indiana. My garage could use some French cleats! Thanks for the ideas!
From Norway, lots of great ideas for a tool wall
Hey Daryld here from Alberta Canada. Love the tutorial on French cleats. Well done young man.
Best French cleat video so far, well done!
From South Africa 🇿🇦
Thx for your knowledge. Will be building one of these for my new shed soon.

Just discovered your channel, searching for a cantilever lumber rack, and wow, that was really impressive! I immediately subscribed to your channel. And because I saw your giant french cleat wall behind you in that lumber rack video, I searched through your other videos to find it just here. That wall is amazing! I love it, and I will definitely build both projects.
Keep the good vibes going!
Greetings from your new Belgian 🇧🇪 fan!
Awesome build. I’m about to start my french cleat wall (4 x 8 sized) and I got some great ideas watching your video. Texas born, Texas raised.
I love French cleat system. I used it to mount an old painted surfboard to a wall. Thanks for reminding me of their amazingness! From 🇳🇿 New Zealand (slightly different to the Australian flag 😅)
im about to make a much smaller french cleat wall and I'm glad I watched your video before doing so. You gave me some great ideas on what all I can do with it! I made a 3'x7' workbench based your modular design and it's my favorite thing that I've built in the shop. Really enjoying your videos!
Get you a small Texas flag for that wall (if you have any room left by now)!
Great French Cleats Tool Storage Wall, it looks super neat, functional and a fantastic way of maximising your wall space.
Really great project and good clear explanation of what you are doing during your build to allow your followers to attempt to do their own version of the tool storage.
I am from the United Kingdom and I enjoy watching your ‘How-To’ and ‘Instructional’ videos.
Excellent Job, thank you for the video, got a lot of good ideas. I'm from Puerto Rico would be nice to see our flag up there.
Definitely subscribed. I am reaching out from Montreal, Canada. The French cleat wall is really nice and totally functional. I am going to convert one of the smaller walls of my 12x16ft shed to French cleats. Your videos are very much appreciated, your projects are interesting, your work is very professional and you are pleasant to watch as you demonstrate well how things are done. Congrats and, keep well and raise hell. Dave & The Girls
Loving your work in Auckland New Zealand!
Moving to a new house, mainly so I can have a workshop. I have watched a lot of YT channels but yours is so simple and inspirational. Thanks from Wales (we have the best flag!)
Excellent video and shelving concept, definitely borrowing some of your ideas! Thanks 😊
I just moved and I need to do what you've done. Now I know it can be done. Spain!!
Loving your builds, and have used a couple of your plans already. I have followed your shop build from the beginning and going to use several of your ideas in my new 30x40 shop build. Avid viewer from Mississippi here!
Great Wall of America. I am building my wall in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Subscribing from Sweden. Building a workshop right now and that's the wall I want there. Safe journeys!
I am from Puerto Rico just had a new garage made you have a great ideas keep the videos coming and put my flag up there thank you
Following you from Limerick city Ireland great french cleat wall thank you
Great...It helped me a lot as I have just started to reorganise my 8 x10ft shed ...... James from Burntwood, Staffordshire, England 🏴 🇬🇧
I used a backer board like you did, that way I had flexibility and could use more screws along the length of each clear. Backer board is the best idea! I stained the backer board light color and stained cleats a darker color for nice contrast.
Well done, sir. Appreciate the ideas.
Thats one hell of a wall matey, gives me some idea's for my own wall here in the UK👍 Good job
Great video! Nice creative ‘cleat’ solutions! Really like the concept - the fact that you can easily rearrange things on the wall!
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
One of the french cleat cheats I learned about is using 1x6 planks then splitting them in half the way he did. Just makes for less cutting. Also you generally want to use two cleats, top and bottom, just to make things secure or at least have it brace against the wall. You can actually go smaller on the cleats too. I feel like the best size is ripping 1x4 cause you don't have to jump such a large gap for each cleat. It also makes it easier to measure out, in my opinion.
@BearMountain Builds this Canadian suggests you make acoustic panels up top since you have high up cleats! It will reduce the noise levels for yourself when using loud machines and improve video audio.
Thanks for the lesson
Good idea!
Good job! Awesome wall…
Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷
You work so smart for such a young guy. I’m twice your age and learning new things watching you. The flag idea is great as well, I admire your inclusiveness.
Thanks Zack, you brought me on a good idee, with your French cleat wall.
Greetings from Holland
Great video. Looking at installing French Cleats in my shop, and been looking for inspiration. Greetings from South Africa.
Awesome! Thank you for the video - this was just what I needed to get started on my French Cleat wall and reorganise my little shop - liked, subscribed and thanks again, all the way from Denmark 🇩🇰
This is a great looking system and organizational placement of all of these tools, I am definatly going to be doing this in my shop real soooooon.... Great Content!!
