@@rmora1 I wish I had read your comment a year ago, being new to woodworking, I did exactly what you describe! Pegboard seemed simple, but what they neglect to tell you is that mdf is very susceptible to humidity, living in Eastern Canada 100% humidity is a normal day in summer. As we near the end of the first summer with pegboard walls, it's all warped and drooping depending on the weight of tools, so this winter's project will likely be a French cleat wall!

I like modular wall systems like this. I’m building a van into a camper, and on the kitchen galley wall I’d like to have a modular system like this so that I could rearrange shallow shelving as needed. The shelving will mostly hold pint and quart size canning jars. The van will generate plenty of vibration so I’m not sure if this vinyl PVC would be strong enough, but I sure love the concept.
good little holder for the WD40, i'd have put a hole in for a pen & pencil & maybe a tape measure hanger too as you can never have access to enough of them & never find them when you need them. & love the blower holder
Interesting. Very clean and easy system. For the cost, I think I like my 3/4" plywood French cleat system better. It definitely didn't take that much more time. I was putting up 8' rows of French cleats, just about as fast. The real extra effort came in making all the cleats. It took about an hour with one helper, a track saw, and a table saw to make one 4x8' plywood sheet into a large stack of cleats, that gave me wall cleats, and hanger cleats enough to go floor to ceiling (8 vertical feet starting 18" off the ground), in 12 linear feet of wall. Oh, but I almost forgot, you should really convert to a 1/2" plywood wall from sheet rock. That will add some time too. Nice part of my shop system is when I move, all my cabinets, shelves and hangers that use the French cleat system, will come off the wall and only the wall cleats will stay. Then my new shop will needs wall cleats installed and all my storage goes back on the wall with the same cabinets, shelves, and hangers. As I move for my job every 3-4 years, that's a huge time and cost saver when I move everything to a new shop so often. How long do you think this manufacturer will keep making this PVC system, and is it compatible with other commercial systems?
... and as he already has a CnC standing around, making some fancy neat-looking purpose-build hooks/holders would be extra easy. Like the two-can-holder he fabricates here, but nicer-looking. As it's all standard sizes/thicknesses/distances, very fast to draw up.
Great Vids! Just the right mix of instruction without being long and your audio is great no overbearing music or power tools screaming through my speakers! Subscribed! Would like to see a vid of all your "Must Buy" or "Should have got this years ago" tools! (not just sponsored ones) 😁
Thanks! My friend just emailed me last night and asked me to install this system in her garage next weekend. At first I thought TH-cam was reading my email until I saw the timestamp on your video. Thanks! This helped remind me which tools I need to take with me. I'm not going to make any custom holders for her, but I will for my own garage.
As a side note, if you use gmail, then Google, which owns both gmail and youtube is definitely reading your email and using it to build a profile of what to show you.
As a Canadian I must say my favourite is not Robertson. I'd like to give Torx a shot but can't readily find any. Will be trying one place soon and if I fail, I'll order from a US place to try and when the borders open up again FREELY, then I'll stock up.
Best screws: Torx and Robertson. WORST screws: Phillips & its cousin Pozidrive, and straight slot. I use Torx wherever possible, except on electrical stuff.
On your holder for the dust attachment, I think I'd cut a cylinder of wood 1/2" high or so that's the inside diameter of the pipe and attach it to the bottom piece of the holder. That'll prevent any lateral movement.
What is the benefit of doing a wall like this over doing French cleats? I don’t have either method, but was curious what made you choose this method over the cleat method that seems to be so popular with woodworkers? Thanks.
Squarehead are the most common type of wood screw here in NZ. Use to buy them in big buckets but now you would need a second mortgage to buy them like that .
I don't wear it all the time, but when I'm installing multiple fasteners it's perfect! Lightweight, out of the way and holds a ton. If anyone else wants a leather side pouch go check it out from Leather by Dragonfly www.leatherbydragonfly.com/shop/sidekick-xl
Looks like that will work great for general tools for gardening and such, but I can't see it working that well for woodworking tools. For that I would go with French cleats or peg board. I will have a wall that this will work well for. Thanks for the idea..
Suggestion maybe. Trace out one of those hooks that are on the back of the existing system and then use your CNC to create set hooks for your other items. If that makes sense.
The worst part about that type of storage like peg board or other variations, is that the hooks fall off really easy when removing the item it's holding. How well do those stay in place? For example, the extension cords, do the hooks stay sturdy when taking one down to use it?
Great solution, Brad~!I I saw a similar track system at Sears, but since those are closing, I guess I'll be making a trip to Home Depot. Thanks for the video~! ...and to Johnny for the stand-off idea~!
Great video Brad, but I'm not going to let my wife watch it...my list is already to long. ha ha ha Seriously, I think this is a project that everyone needs in the workshop. It would save time and space. Great Idea!
Watching this a year after it went up, I'm wondering if these are still up and if you've 3D-printed anything that mounts on the rail. I hope your egalitarian screw community continues to thrive!
The only problem? It's ungodly expensive compared to most DIY uses. I got my slatwall for free as offcuts, it's the particle board "junk" but it was free. Heavy as heck, but did I mention, free?
its $60 for 9 sqft, for those who don't understand, its equivalent to 3'x3' and thats including the top and bottom pieces "which adds 3in" but doesnt include attachment accessories. it probably cost $5 or less to mold that pvc in that shape. you have about $300 worth of shelving supplies and put up about $300 worth of tools. if youre not collaging that wall, its not even worth it. time to look for other options Edit: I mean no disrespect those those who understand sqft. but my gf sent me this saying its a good idea, and its 9 sqft for only $60. i said, do you realize how small that is? she said its taller than you! smh this comment is for ppl just looking for wall storage and dont have a lot of f-around money
Here it is April 24, 2022, 8 months after this video was posted and on the Home Depot website the Husky Slatwall Panel 4 Pack "This item is not available in any stores within 100 miles of 34606", and "Out of stock online". Husky Slatwall Starter Pack is available online only in Florida. ??
What would the cost be for what you installed had you not gotten all the freebies? That would be good to know. From the HD website it looks like maybe over $200 just for the panels themselves.
Bit of a novice question but where should I look to find the type of wood you used for your cabinets? I feel like HD/Lowe’s wood selection isn’t that nice
Find a specialty lumber yard/distributor. Baltic birch plywood is great (and pricy!). You can do these projects with less costly plywood, but the results aren't as nice to look at (but out in the shop, or if you paint it?).

Everybody always begins with pegboard walls and then realize that it's a waste of space and end up ripping it down.
Hey, I'm a Canadian girl, I didn't even know there were screws other than Robertson, haha!

Syncing the air gun sound with the music rhythm is a very clever attention to detail. Good job!
Holy heck, good tip with the magnet to find the nails for studs! Will use this in a future build! Thanks (:
I organised my garage walls by hanging
white pegboard floor to ceiling on all walls.
It has worked out FANTASTIC!!
!
Waited for something like this for such a long time

Robertson all the way!!!! If there is paint in the head you can use another screw and “drill” out the paint and put it comes!
I got a small two cars garage,,8 foot ceiling... Lucky the house I bought came with a shed in the backyard 😁😁. Perfect place for garden tools...
i'd give an arm for a shed
Great video Brad
Thanks 👍
As a Canadian I must say my favourite is not Robertson. I'd like to give Torx a shot but can't readily find any. Will be trying one place soon and if I fail, I'll order from a US place to try and when the borders open up again FREELY, then I'll stock up.
I'm not candian but Robertson is objectively the coolest 😎😎
definitely the squarest 😀
I am Canadian and I always end up throwing out the pieces of Phillips crap that come in kits.
You are always organized !!
Best screws: Torx and Robertson. WORST screws: Phillips & its cousin Pozidrive, and straight slot. I use Torx wherever possible, except on electrical stuff.

thought about that, but the fit is so tight it's not a big concern
Been using the magnet to find studs for a few years now. Much more dependable than my cheap stud finder
What is the benefit of doing a wall like this over doing French cleats? I don’t have either method, but was curious what made you choose this method over the cleat method that seems to be so popular with woodworkers? Thanks.
This is great if you dont have access to a table saw to make the angle cuts on the french cleats.
Genius!! On the magnet thing. Never thought of that.
works great
“One out of one garage walls…”. Classic truth! 😂
Awesome work, Brad! 😃
I'm going to look for those slatwalls here in Brazil!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
thanks, brother!
You always come up with a great ideas and the results are also always satisfying🤘👍
thanks!
Very cool. Now I have to go step up my organization game.😁👍
Go for it!
Another great one my man… I love that you’ve fully embraced the using the “Me Nails” pun, makes me chuckle every time!! 😂🤣👍
thanks, Lou!
OH Canada...Yes, the Robertson all the way!!!! Great Video...
Love your show, keep on posting more amazing videos.
Thank you! Will do!
This Guys are Great , They encourage me to make more youtube videos with our remodels. 😁😁. Great job guys. Who does your editing ?
Squarehead are the most common type of wood screw here in NZ. Use to buy them in big buckets but now you would need a second mortgage to buy them like that .

Challenge you to DIY the slat wall
yep, could definitely do that too!
You got it!! Roberts screws are the BEST!!!! :)
Looks like that will work great for general tools for gardening and such, but I can't see it working that well for woodworking tools. For that I would go with French cleats or peg board. I will have a wall that this will work well for. Thanks for the idea..

Or 3D print them. But would have to be careful to not overload them.
Great job
Great idea
the straw cutout, lol. 10/10
How do you line up pocket holes, you should do a video on that.
Your videos are amazing enough to impress others, and you keep creating new things. Hope to see you around and be connected.
That's Cool!!!! Thank You!!!! 👍😎😃
"Me nails" Well played man, well played. It took me a couple seconds but I got it.
My garage has 2 1/2 messy walls lol
I feel that...mine was that way once as well
As a Canadian I can verify Robertson is our favorite.
Just found your channel, loved this video! Subbed!
“I have a messy wall here” that is more organized than anything in my apartment
Awesome!!
thanks!
Robertson FTW🍁!
HA!!HA!! You said "Rinse and Repeat" (4:39). Good one.
The worst part about that type of storage like peg board or other variations, is that the hooks fall off really easy when removing the item it's holding. How well do those stay in place? For example, the extension cords, do the hooks stay sturdy when taking one down to use it?
the hooks snap in on top and bottom and are very firm. The don't budge at all when you're removing items
@@Fixthisbuildthat good to know! Thanks for the reply!
I never knew Brad Paisley was so good with tools !😁
These organizational and home improvement videos are good but honestly I like your regular woodworking videos a lot more. Keep up the good work!
Change is good
Great solution, Brad~!I I saw a similar track system at Sears, but since those are closing, I guess I'll be making a trip to Home Depot. Thanks for the video~!
...and to Johnny for the stand-off idea~!
Favorite Screw type is the good old Fashioned Flat head screw.. for some reason there only one other person that seems to buy them.
hahaha, yes you must be a glutton for punishment
Might have been able to 3d print some hooks. I know the gladiator system has lots of 3d print options.
Torx is the best!
Philips head '+' is the best screw on the planet Earth😎👍
except when they strip :)
@@Fixthisbuildthat Oh Yes! That's a heart break right there :(
But Love the simplicity of it.
Thanks! I just did a new build and would like to organize my garage before I move in. This is a great idea. I love to be organized!
Torx all the way!
Deck building made me a torx fan. phillips have way too many spin outs once i got used to torx.
What are thes panels called please ? Awesome what you've done. 🎉😊
Great video; curious if these accept standard slat hooks or I am forced to only use the ones by Husky? Thank you in adv.
HAHAHA! Greetings from Canada! You read my mind on the robertsons :) L
Great video Brad, but I'm not going to let my wife watch it...my list is already to long. ha ha ha Seriously, I think this is a project that everyone needs in the workshop. It would save time and space. Great Idea!

Which is the most supportive, this, French cleats, or pegboard?
Whichever screw I find first!
I've we been thinking of putting French cleats or a slat wall in my closet. Would that project look to "garage-y" dor the cloaet?
Do a house tour comparison of before and after like it so he can see this
Nice
thx!
Hey there🤘
hi
The only problem? It's ungodly expensive compared to most DIY uses. I got my slatwall for free as offcuts, it's the particle board "junk" but it was free. Heavy as heck, but did I mention, free?
I must be really old. The magnet you used to find the studs was called a stud finder when I was a young man.
Can this be installed directly on studs, without any drywall?
My garage floor moonlights as a messy wall.
Would these be same as the craftsman VersaTrack or similar? Or a difference?
its $60 for 9 sqft, for those who don't understand, its equivalent to 3'x3' and thats including the top and bottom pieces "which adds 3in" but doesnt include attachment accessories. it probably cost $5 or less to mold that pvc in that shape. you have about $300 worth of shelving supplies and put up about $300 worth of tools. if youre not collaging that wall, its not even worth it. time to look for other options

Yeah… I HATE when project videos don’t include estimated costs…especially when speciality hardware is involved like this! 🤨
Torx is my preference but it’s more about availability. If anyone can tell me where to buy square-drive I’d love to keep some in the shop.
My garage is concrete blocks. Can this be applied to such a wall with concrete anchors?
it would be much more difficult, but doable
How much did that whole thing cost?
Flats are archaic. Philips is... around everywhere and the bane of cheap screw bits. Torq is the best. Star op.
