Awe inspiring.Less fuss ,more comfort in finding a home for all wood working tools.Just super.Can we use a mitre saw.
Mitre saw also cuts at 45 degrees.just asking.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Unfortunately you cannot use a miter saw. It cannot make a rip cut like we need to make for the french cleats.

What kind of plywood are you using to make these French Cleats? I will be going to buy the lumber very soon.

The centre of the board is not 2.5 inches as the blade width was not taken into account
