    Seems like a decent alternative.

      Thanks. It’s been really great. I was sad to move out of my last home because I had done it there and it was amazing. It takes some time to get all the storage holders just right.

      This type of project is a great way to perfect those skills because it’s so repetitive. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for sharing. Great alternative. Definitely can just made additional units without the 45° cuts. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

      I’m about to finish the last open wall in my shop with this system. I love finding new ways to organize with it. Thanks for watching!

    What is the circular saw rip jig that you used? Thank You

      I used the accu-rip circular saw guide which I got at a big box store like 15 years ago. I’m not sure they make it anymore. It was really inexpensive and does a decent job. The straight edge guide is the woodriver 50” clamp guide. It’s great. Thanks for watching!

    When using your jigsaw on internal cuts like your outlet positions.... Maybe try 2 holes on opposite corners easier and much quicker.... Good, clear and understandable video by the way.

    Pretty cool idea! How's the dust collection setup; planning any videos on that unit "in-action"?

      So far it’s been really good. I am planning a couple videos about it. I wanted to see how it went first. I’ve had to make a few changes once I saw it in action. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

    The nice thing about cleats is that you make basically an unlimited batch of fixture cleats when you first make your wall, so you can glue those to the back of any fixture and be done. With this you have to cut a piece of alum and drill press(and screw!) for each one, seems like a lot of work. Especially since you had the table saw necessary to cut normal cleats.

    • @FireflyWoodworking
      @FireflyWoodworking  ปีที่แล้ว

      Great point! It is nice to make the fixture cleat at the same time as the wall cleat and I absolutely use that method when I use French cleats for hanging cabinets or floating shelves. Super fast!

    Your 3/4 plywood is birtch like your 1/4? So on the pricier side of plywood, but also really looks nice. Just wanted to make sure before i buy the wood.

    • @FireflyWoodworking
      @FireflyWoodworking  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes. It’s Baltic birch and marine grade because that’s all my lumber guy sells. So really nice with minimal voids (which doesn’t matter for the walls) but also more expensive.

    I'm slightly confused. I thought I heard you say that the 1/4" is level to the top of the 3/4". Did you mean it was at the bottom, creating a notch to hook the metal doohicky in?

    • @FireflyWoodworking
      @FireflyWoodworking  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@mellymel1100 yes! You are correct. The 1/4” plywood is flush with the bottom of the 3/4” plywood making a space for the metal cleat.

    Just curious- why go to the floor? What would you hang that low?

    • @FireflyWoodworking
      @FireflyWoodworking  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Usually nothing and it’s just aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes I’ll make a bottom hanger for an item that is tall and being able to hook it low just keeps it from rocking - like a wheelbarrow. I’ll make a low bottom hanger that I can tilt the wheelbarrow forward onto and then a top hanger to secure it vertically to the wall.

      Everything is awesome! I’ve been learning a new video editing software that’s great but has definitely delayed video production. I’ve also been working on some bigger projects and redesigning the shop. Thanks for asking and checking in!

    5:20 I've watched a ton of videos, and you're the first person I've seen do this without a push stick

    • @FireflyWoodworking
      @FireflyWoodworking  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I used a push stick when doing the smaller widths on the 1/4” plywood but felt comfortable making the wider cuts without. When in doubt, push sticks are always better. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a thoughtful comment.
