Man, I don't normal comment much, but almost all of these ideas are super original and useful. Thanks a lot for sharing these. I have a whole cleat wall to plan and these were really helpful.
I love the PVC idea at 8:13. I used to have a photography studio years ago, and I made all of my light stands, light boxes, and other jigs, out of PVC. These items cost thousands of dollars if you buy it from a photographic equipment store. I made all of my stands for mere pennies on the dollar. PVC is so incredibly versatile, and a great way to store things like shown in your video. Our imagination is the only limitation.
I’m just now getting into French cleats and they are already changing my life for the better. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you and all the others on this platform, who are making this world a better place. Thank you! ☺️
You are the king of the French Cleat, my friend! Clinton, I am going to spend a week putting some of these ideas together now that I finally have the French Cleat slats on the wall. You da man!
Dude you understand that you can actually turn 90% of these into actual products that you can sell? These are genius ideas compadre! Thanks for the tips! I love you
This whole system is absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Beautiful in their simplicity, design, and use of scrap wood. This is my system of the future when I can finally get my dust situation brought under control. Open access is so convenient! At present, I have everything in the bags they came with and have to remember which bag contains which tool. I have to label the bags. But with this open access, problem is gone! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
These are some of the best idea's for French cleats I have seen. Will be moving in a few months and when I design my shop, these will be included. Thanks
Wow! you are an inspiration to me. I have fought with disorganization most of my 71 years due to lack of time...space and procrastination. I'm a former Southern Californian who now lives in Alaska. I know what I will be doing during the next long Winter.
Thank you for making this video. I have moved into shop #3, which is unfortunately small and narrow. I have installed a French Cleat system on all available walls in an attempt to maximize storage. I have been making small tool boxes for my kids for years. I never thought of adding a cleat to them, but I think it may be a good way to store the 20,000 screws in 20 sizes that currently clutter my bench. I will build a box for each diameter with compartments for each length. I really like the circular saw solution that you are using which is perfect for my track saw and little cordless saw which would get a lot more use if it was more available. Thanks again for the clever, practical ideas which just work.
I've been thinking about making a cleat system in my garage, and that wrench holder pushed me over the edge. You have a lot of great ideas, thank you for sharing them!!!
These videos are so helpful! I’m about to start turning my garage into a shop and making the cleats looks easy but designing all the holders felt daunting. Thanks so much for saving me so much time!
Great video. Quick and to the point. Lots of different simple builds for numerous different tools, I love it. I'm saving this video to reference from for my tool storage.
Love the use of cheap materials like pallets. So many are using expensive birch ply and pallets are often free so this is a great money saving video thanks!
New subscriber here. I have been trying to organize my shop and have put up OSB walls in my metal garage. I am now considering tool storage and am wanting to use a French cleat system. I like a lot of your ideas. I originally thought of a pack out system but those can get expensive. Thanks again for giving this retired guy some ideas. All the best from north Texas.
Wow, never used a French Cleat System to store my tools and hardware. In the past, I have used the French Cleat System to hang many large photos and paintings. Your 20 ideas for mounting tools are really impressive. Today I was looking for ways to set up a pegboard mounting wall. Never liked the look of the system and always made a closet to hide the mounted tools. Impressed with your French Cleat System. Very nice appearance, I will be reconstructing your system ( Sounds much better than stealing your ideas ) in my workshop!!!!
Love this video and thank you SO much. My tools are in shoes boxes now....gggrrr so frustrating...I'll be better organized this year. I appreciate your time 👍❣️
thank you for this wonderful and highly instructive video, those are some great ideas, i hope to implement one day..... thank you for making these videos
I tweaked my chisel holder design a bit I did exactly as you did but instead of using a countersink bit I used another sized Forster bit. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration you’ve given me. I’m only 14 but thanks to you I have an endless amount of possibilities.
Specific Love Creations thank you, I just recently upgraded my old harbor freight miter saw to a 12 inch Ryobi sliding miter. I sold a coffee table I made and was able to pay the saw off. I think I’m going to attempt to make the miter saw stand you made for my saw and just alter the dimensions slightly. I might try out some locking “L” Brackets instead of 2x4 supports for the extension wings but I might as well give it a go. Having so much time of because of all the covid stuff has left me with limitless time to make pretty much whatever I want. I am considering trying to build your narrow workbench as well because my shop is in a 2 car garage that both my mom and dad park in. I store most of my tools in the basement and make nifty little holders for them. I made your crescent wrench holder, spring clamp holder and a few other but I’ve also came up with a few designs on my own. I’m still waiting for a part 5 to the French cleat tool holder series.😂
It is funny that you mention #5 because I actually have it in the works, but it still might be a few weeks before it is released. Otherwise you sound like you have a great start to building stuff. Keep it up.
Cheers!!! You're living the dream with these ideas!!! I found myself asking why haven't I thought of that while looking for a tool. Thank you for sharing your ideas very much appreciated. love the video
this is a good video. I made a circular saw cradle like yours that sits flat on a work surface so i dont have to rest my saw on its plastic blade guard when im using it. very similiar to what you have.
Love the ideas. Thanks for taking time to share cause I so need to get some organization in my shop. God bless and I hope you and your family are safe and well.
SLC, I have now built my own Grinder mount based on your idea and several others. I love it! Grinders are ungainly tools that take up so much space if you don't have a special way to store it. Your idea is great in of itself, but adding tool storage on the tool storage (ie: handle, wrench, and disks) is a GAME-CHANGER. You are making me swear less, as there's no hunting. My wife thanks you...
For the measuring tape I did the same thing but used corrugated picture hangers for the tapes to clip onto and it works great. I have been trying to figure something out for my circular saw and I really like your plans
I really enjoy your whole series of different holders using the French cleat system. I had 5 holders so far prior to seeing your videos. I’m relaying one whole opposing wall to incorporate many of your ideas. Thanks for the real life approach to building simple but useful holders. Keep up the great work! Many thanks
I've been working/building various projects since I was twelve in 1958 and this system is by and far the most sensible I've ever seen. The closest I ever came to it was when I'd bend an 'L' shaped aluminum chanel at a 60 degree angle which was then hung upon another corresponding chanel attached to a section of wood similar to how the French Cleat is connected; the only thing I see here is the French Cleat is easier to make since there is only one 45 degree cut to make many attachments, where many bends are needed to make the necessary amount of attachments needed for the same amount of tools. Trust me on this. So for the amount of time invested, the French Cleat is "hands down" simpler and therefore quicker. So as soon as I submit this comment I am going outside to build this system to hold all the tools my lovely Wife has bought for me for a "new" two level 10' by 12' by 14' high Tuff Shed, which she also had built for me last year and because I have six or seven tool sets by S.K. WAYNE (1958), Crescent, Craftsman, Proto, Husky, Kobalt, and Harbor Freight ( no, no problems ever). And because of all the hand held power tools I now have I really, really need to get things under control, so thank you for an excellent video and for sharing your knownedge.

Attaching bit boxes to cleats is best idea EVER! Saved me a lot of time and the sets are still portable. Just grab and go.
Man, I don't normal comment much, but almost all of these ideas are super original and useful. Thanks a lot for sharing these. I have a whole cleat wall to plan and these were really helpful.
One of the best french cleat holder videos on TH-cam!

I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than this. I teared up watching it
@@joshuatoral5105 😄
This is exactly what I’m looking for a shed build this summer 2024. ❤
You are the king of the French Cleat, my friend! Clinton, I am going to spend a week putting some of these ideas together now that I finally have the French Cleat slats on the wall. You da man!
Thanks Frank. I hope you have a fun time building them and a lifetime using them.
Dude you understand that you can actually turn 90% of these into actual products that you can sell? These are genius ideas compadre! Thanks for the tips! I love you
Worldwide known french-cleat expert!
Thanx - great video, the whole series of videos, actually.
Love it!!! I need to redo my work room and your video was so fun to watch!
This is about the best video on french cleat ideas. Im going to make every single one

You get a like for the wrench holder alone! Thank you!

It is an honor to inspire you.
Thank you bro. You make the world better.

Perfect timing as I am building out my workshop, very creative ideas I can use and build upon! Thanks!
You are an actual genius!
This is the most helpful video for storage tips i have ever watched...excellent..
Your a Smart Guy
Absolutely fantastic !!!!!

Love all your mounting features,! Always injoy watching your videos! Thanks, god bless!
Nice video. I like how you used pallet wood on most of it and I love the incorporation of the pvc. Thanks for sharing!
What a useful video! Thank you so much! I had no idea how to start making my own tools holder. Now I do!
Great video. Thanks so much. Just started building and will definitely incorporate your ideas.
Very clever nice workshop thanks
The walls mounts are so genius!
I especially like the drill pvc pipe holders I’ll have to make one!

The grinder holder is genius idea! Everything together in a small space, perfect!

You are very welcome. In case you didn't know, I have several more video editions of the FC ideas as well.
Great video to the point informative and full of ideas. Thank you!!
Awesome ideas sir! Subscribed! Thank you!
le génie , bravo , très intéressant et intelligent .
Awesome video. Very informative. Thx
Hey there. It's not the first video I've watched on your channel, and I have to say I really enjoyed watching them. Thanks. Keep it up 🙏
I love a good French cleat wall. Your holders are very creative
Thanks
very nice thank you
Very useful. Thank you so much for sharing!
this is a good video. I made a circular saw cradle like yours that sits flat on a work surface so i dont have to rest my saw on its plastic blade guard when im using it. very similiar to what you have.
I am not sure I can commit to the french cleat system, but each of the individual storage ideas were really awesome. Thanks!
Good Job.
Best so far! (Seen many).
Thank you Tom
Great video! Thanx much!
I’m sold, gonna give French cleat method a try. Nice video.👍🤓🏌️
Great Ones
Good ideas
Love the ideas. Thanks for taking time to share cause I so need to get some organization in my shop. God bless and I hope you and your family are safe and well.
Glad to help you
GENIUS 🙌
Awesome video!
Worth it just for the Grinder setup. Love it.
Thank you very much

My wife thanks you...
Awesome video! The only major error I spotted though was the 7up instead of a beer.
You are my new hero!
One of the best organizing systems I have seen. Thank you.
For the measuring tape I did the same thing but used corrugated picture hangers for the tapes to clip onto and it works great. I have been trying to figure something out for my circular saw and I really like your plans
I just hang my measuring tapes on the cleats themselves throughout my shop.
Amazing, thank you!

I’m relaying one whole opposing wall to incorporate many of your ideas. Thanks for the real life approach to building simple but useful holders. Keep up the great work! Many thanks
That is Awesome! Have fun building!
Great stuff. 👍👍
thank you for all the ideas! definitely will use many of these
Now I have a project or 2 per day for the next 20 days. Thanks.
I freakin love the wrench idea. Great tips on all the ideas. And love you put the little extra to stain the cleats. Looks so much nicer.
Thank you very much.
Amazing! I try to make this ! Blessings from Puerto Rico!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this video! So many awesome ideas and love the cleat system!
Thank you Eric
Wonderfull. merci bcp.
