Turn the middle chisel holder around so when it's open all 3 surfaces are visible. I've recently started to add label on my holders to identify sizes of their contents. They have proven so useful especially on my spanner and sockets sets.
Disagree. As it is you can open the first leaf to see the second tier of chisels. Open the first two to the left to see the 3rd tier. Turning it around would require the holder to be fully extended to see the second tier.
However, an alternative is to put Perspex (Plexiglass) on the front and back of the second leaf. Then one could visualize the second tier of chisels regardless of how extended the holder is.
@@ST-0311 Or maybe incorporate some Perspex windows on back too, so visible from both front and back
@@eynshamyman3403 Yes. I did actually mention that too.
@teacheme Hi Costa, great to hear from you,. Thank you. You are right. Labels are a smart idea too, really simple. It's a funny one as I am not sure what way round I prefer as I tend to use the ones at the back very little so really just open the front and the second tier are there. But if someone makes this and they use them all a lot then I would go with your suggestion. Thank you.
@@ST-0311 I have to admit that I missed that and agree with you although I would always open the holder fully as it's seem the thing to do. The answer seems to be perspex on all five visible sides.
Well Mark, you know how much I enjoy your videos, but with all this making of cleat walls tool storage, magnets right left and centre, don't know how you find time to make anything!! Haha, great video as always, keep 'em coming and stay lucky, cheers
You know Paul you are right. I had to have a word with myself and do a beginner build video this week for a few weeks time as I could not remember the last time I made something not for tools. Take care bud.
Agreed it’s ingenious but life is short
OMG!! 43k Subscribers??? You are still amazing me! Sorry you haven’t heard from me lately. I lost my oldest daughter (39 yrs old) last June. She was my best friend, travel buddy and the family planner/party organizer. The loss absolutely knocked all the wind out of me. Grief kicked me down hard.
Sorry for over sharing, I just want you to know that I’m still watching and you are still my favorite TH-cam woodworker/entrepreneur (and videographer!) I’ve missed being involved but clearly you are on the fast track! Thanks, Mark! Keep up your great sense of humor and the amazing work!
Oh Andie, I am so sorry. It's not the same in any way but a few years ago we lost my sister at a similar age. The grief is something that I cannot explain. As you say, kicked me down hard. That about sums it up. It's one of the reasons I started woodworking. A way to find some inner peace. It was not a fix but certainly helped me to arrange my thoughts and emotions. Though, we are all different. Thank you for sharing. And again, I am so very sorry for your loss.
My condolences
I don't use chisels that often, but I think this idea would work great as a drill bit/accessories holder. Great video, thank you for sharing and God bless.
Thats a great idea. Thank you
I love your videos, they literally help me to start making.
I was in a customers house and saw a heart shaped peice of wood with some of the center routed out. They had it next to their coffee pot to keep a stirring spoon. A lot of us across the pond keep a spoon there. It reminded me of the video you made with two boards making a number of simple projects. One of my favorites.
Now I'm off to make your upgraded tool holders. Have a wonderful day
Thank you. And I was actually looking at the video you mentioned just yesterday. I want to make a similar one as it was so fun. I also love the sound of the box you saw. I bet it was really tactile. Have a lovely weekend .
This is pretty damn clever. I'm just finished ply lining my walls and throwing up some Ivar cabinets from IKEA up high, french cleats are next and I really like this fold out idea. Thanks Mark!
Thank you very much, I think that the fold out will work for a few tool types. I luckily have a fair amount of reclaimed hinges so I suspect a few more could come about. Forstner bits, files, marking gauges, screwdrivers and pliers to name a few possibilities. Could be a fun time ahead.
you need to create a play list called "sticking with Magnet's" and put all your videos that have magnet tip's in there too. :) Great work
That is a great idea. they are a lot of fun. And I may have over bought on them.
God help if a bin wagon drives to close to the opposite wall 😂
You're the first person online I've seen who has a French cleat on the side of their workbench! I've always felt like something like that is such a powerful feature of a French cleat system that I have hardly seen before, to be able to have the tools you need just for the task at hand so easily nearby
It is genuinely useful. Dod it originally for my bin but gets a lot of use for the holders now.
Hi, Mark. A bunch of really great ideas. 👍👍👍
As I was watching you insert magnets into the wood,
I remembered, sometimes the CA glue doesn't want to
hold the magnets, long term (BTDT) and I have an idea.
Now, to be fair, I just thought of this and have never done it.
Drill your inset for the magnet, then drill, in the center, for
a flat head screw, for the magnet to grip, holding itself in
the hole (still use CA). Now there are two things holding the
magnet in the hole. The likelihood of it coming out is greatly
reduced.
Notes: The larger the screw head, the better but this is also
dependent on the thickness of the material, because you need
a few threads, below the screw head, to hold in the wood.
OH, P.S.: The extra screw length gets cut off at the back of the
material. 😁✌🖖
Thank you. That is interesting. I have not had CA glue fail me on magnets yet but it has on other things. I love the screw idea. Very smart. Not something I would have come up with. Thank you. as always.
Nice set up Mark - great idea with the chisel holder. Just a thought if you want to make your saw holder smaller, you could save 12 /18 mm (thickness of your ply) on each saw holder - if you tapered the top of the side that fits against the saw and then stuck it under the angled bit for the dowel. That would save about 60mm over three saw holders. An idea for version 3. Keep up the ideas!
Now that is a clever idea. I need to draw it out and see that I have it right in my mind. Version 3 would mean at least 2 extra saws, maybe 4 in the same space. Thank you
I was thinking to angle the other side. I'll try both.
A genius of French cleat!
lol, thats a stretch but I will take it and say thank you very much.
@@startmaking1 I just had an idea for quick release: a spiral cam with philips head in the middle. Haven't worked out the design exactly but with a single turn of a screw driver, you can reach in anywhere and release the cleat and move it anywhere.
Now that is cool. I love the new chisel rack and repurposed old one too. Very clever Mark! I am still not a fan of magnets for the reason we discussed earlier, but apart from that - awesome! If I may I would love to steal a few of your ideas. I put cut down bolts into the ends of my dowels on the saw till to increase the grip, but I love the rubber matting idea better. Back to the shop to redo them again. LOL.
Thank you Ian. I know, the magnets are a double edged sword. The matting actually has the best result grip wise. The silicone pipe is good but matting so long as it is stuck well, is the better performer. cheers. Enjoy the shop time.
@@startmaking1 Your ideas are ingenious Mark. I think the way you develop and expand ideas is brilliant and ground breaking. Keep it up buddy. Can't wait for the next video to see what you have come up with.
I honestly love how excited you get with these little upgrades and ideas, it's so refreshing where a lot of people seem very negative if things arent absolute perfection 👍🏻 keep up the good work mate. Still not got round to making nice frames for the baby scans you did me ... having a baby really takes all the woodworking time away 🤣🤣
It seems to be the one thing that keeps me building and happy. Who knew. Perfection in my making world does not exist, took me a while to realise this but now I know, I can be happy. I bet life is super busy right now. Cant believe how long it has been since we did the sonogram thing. I remember mine as babies, it's an amazing time.
This is my favourite woodworking channel. I'll never use half of the stuff in your videos but I do enjoy watching and when I come up with a problem I will remember the cleats and magnets and maybe adapt. Thank you for sharing.
Oh that is really kind bud, thank you.
Great video Mark amazing ideas think the chisel holder is an amazing idea and also the double sided saw holder. Keep up the great job.
Thank you Jim. I surprised myself if I am honest. Fun build too.
Super clever designs! I've never seen anything like that. Thanks for sharing!
You are more than welcome. And thank you.
M8 your to clever for your own good. They look amazing. Still love the laser cut boxes may need buy few them off you but the 3 hinge chisel holder wow 🤯🤯 everything is looking amazing and table saw seems be getting good work out. 🏴👍
Thank you Michael. you are kind. The table saw is slowly getting to the stage where I use it for everything rather than just a few things. I just need to start on some jigs. The chisel holder was a bit of a fluke to be honest, no really plan but a happy end result. The boxes are not all that hard for me to cut but at the moment I dont have the wood or time but eventually I will do a run and let you know. Buy? dont be silly. lol.
@@startmaking1 ok well swap then 😃 a no your busy m8 no rush. Think we're both rushed off our feet just now. true statement though about you being to clever for your own good. Catch up soon m8 glad the video has gone well. 🏴👍
Hi Mark, Brilliant ideas and the best thing is your ideas are never ending and every week I watch there is some new or some thing that's modified and that's what I like this why I watch and keep watching. This French cleat system just works wonders and the way you got yours is so efficient. The Saw and chisel storage is a great idea and looks so simple to make. As always a great video, Take care👍
Hi Shaun. Hope you are well. I seem to be a little addicted to the French cleat stuff. I like the little wins. I seem to be almost done and so will simply repeat the ones that dont work and make them better, that way I never actually have to make anything else lol. Take care bud.
Great job Mark! That chisel holder is definitely something to be proud of!
Hi Jason. Thank you bud. Very much appreciated. I hope you are doing well.
Excellent video as always. Really innovative storage ideas. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much.
Great video, Mark. Really loved the chisel holder and the slimline saw holder was cool, too.
I'm currently away in Orkney, so had to find signal to watch this one but well worth the wait.
The trouble and joy of French cleats is that the construction of one always leads to ideas for future improvements, meaning you get caught in a continuous improvement loop and don't build anything else 😂.
One day I'm going to stop building tool aids and actually make something that others might use... But not just yet.
Keep making.
I am having fun doing the same. Nothing wrong with making what you like to make. Though, I had better make something or the next 25 French cleat videos may start to get boring .
All are a great use of space. The chisel one ingenious
Thank you very much. I was surprised how well it came out.
I'd like to make a suggestion cover your dowels with a few.o rings. I do this to my 3D printed versions. Make them. very grippy. I'm lucky I have a selection box. of O rings. but they don't cost a lot. And always useful to have.
Thats is a really smart idea. Especially if you already have them. thank you
Hey glad you’re back 🎉. I made that Oooohhhhh noise when you opened your new chisel storage design foldy thingy 😂❤ right back to viewing.
lol, I make that noise when I use it. It's very satisfying. Not perfect but getting there. Thank you.
Yet again, you show up with a great idea. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
Great video and some interesting ideas that could be built upon. Many thanks and keep them coming.
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
Love that chisel holder - ingenious! Although I am sad that I can’t have a French cleat wall, sadly conservatory windows are no good for storage 😢haha
Challenge accepted lol. How to attach French cleats to glass. There is a video in that.
@@startmaking1There definitely is. 😮😮
@@startmaking1 😂
Hi mark love the chisel holder going to have a go of making one this afternoon ❤
Hi Thomas. I hope it goes well. Thank you.
The cleat taper and dowel. Bloody hell. That’s brilliant… 🪄🧙♂️
Thank you. Seems to work so far.
another brill video mark 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
We might have to start calling you "Magnet Man" lol.
The laser cut speed squares you very kindly sent to me are now stained red and get used very often as I didn't previously have a speed square. I used to use my cheap set square a lot but not so often now as the speed squares are so easy to keep to hand. To that end I plan to make a holder for them on my bench. 🙂
I may have over ordered on magnets lol. So they seem to get used for everything now. I am glad the square is useful. A few people have told me they are actually using them. In all honesty I made them for decoration more than anything but it dawned on me that as they are made on the laser they are perfectly square. .
@@startmaking1 They are indeed perfectly square. I measured them to 2 decimal places and they both showed as 90.00 degrees. :)
@@TootEmCarMan oh wow. I'm glad you did as I was just comparing to my main square.
These are excellent ideas, thanks.
Thank you David.
Motorcycle starter clutch works with rollers too but with centrifugal force. Rollers disengage when engine fires.
You, Sir, are a GENIUS! I absolutely love these ideas!
Thank you. Very much appreciated, Genius is a stretch but this one I am quite proud of.
Mark, that chisel holder is too cool. Recently, I saw a "saw caddy," being sold commercially. I'm thinking of tackling that project. I like yours too, now, I'm in a conundrum. Another brilliant video. One request, since we've missed it so far this year; we need the rugby jersey for old times sake. A small point, you're using a lot of CA glue, just be careful that you rely on it too much because over time CA becomes brittle and is not really very good for structural parts. In conjunction with wood glue you're golden (noted that you did that in these projects, just a quick reminder). Be careful, you're going to become too efficient. Cheers!
Great advice Meat. Thank you. In all honesty I had not considered the brittle nature of CA glue. In all honesty my saw caddy is good but I am finding it a little annoying having the saws in front of each other. It is certainly the most efficient but not the easiest of accesses. Like the chisel holder this may need a second or third iteration. The rugby jersey will return for a video one day. It's not gone lol. Take care bud.
@@startmaking1 Keep plugging away, my brother in woodworking
Ery smart ideas you have there. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much.
So many clever ideas, Mark. I’m pleased I’ve found you. Keep up the good work 🌞
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
Love you’re creativity man!!
That's kind. Thank you.
Another very useful video Mark. I'm not a French cleat user, but your hinged chisel holder is ingenious. I might keep it French cleated to my bench so that all chisels, marking instruments, sanding sticks, etc. were right at hand when needed. I like how you maximize the use of your wall space with the French cleats & your other owner-made accessories. Do you plan to have a lumber storage system using French cleats in the future? If you so choose, you could probably author a book titled, "How to Organize Your Workshop with French Cleats." I don't recall seeing your workbench video, but I'll find it to view.
Hi Bill. Hope you are well. I guess the holder could be screwed straight to the wall if needed. Lumber storage is on my mind at the moment if I am honest. My issue is that the workshop is not heated through the winter so I like to keep my hard wood in the house so it is acclimatised to the temperature it will eventually end up in. And the shop is way too small for a huge amount of wood storage. That said. I may look into an adjustable solution for some timber to be in there and I am planning on building a separate shed for ply sheets as they are a nightmare in a workshop that is barely wider than a full sheet. The workbench video was over 2 parts, one for the build and the other for the accessories, hold downs etc. It, like the workshop ,though is an ever evolving build. Never quite done.
You don't need the full length of the "ramp" for the "key" to run on. So you could easily have the ramps be 2/3rd to half the length and then go vertical on the rear side of the next vertical. So then you are only really stuck by the width of your handles.
You’re ahead of me posting that, another way to cut the width per section would be to cut the top back corner off of the ramp.
Great point. What was I thinking. Thank you. Brilliant .
I do like your double hinged chisel holder Mark. I may have to "borrow" your idea for my forstner bit holder I was about to build🤔
All yours Martin. I was looking as some other holders where it could work, maybe marking gauges, files, etc. I also wondered if there is merit to making a far larger one for things like clamps. But the weight may be an issue. Worth a try maybe.
Too good of an idea to pass! I wouldn't rush to admit chisels would dull from contact with wood bottom though. It's the only job these are supposed to be good for 😂
That is a very good point. they are supposed to cope ok with wood.
The saw holder, make the 22 deg holder the width of the dowel. That'd save you much more space, probably enough to have to add space for handles.
Thats a good idea. Thank you.
Grab a label maker and add labels. Labels save me a lot of time on putting things back where they belong :)
Great idea. Love it. Thank you.
Thanks!
Hi Andie. I have only just spotted these. That is super kind. You really dont have to. But it is appreciated. Thank you.
Ok, just watched your video. Very clever. I’m in the mist of doing shop reorganization. My question to your dowels holding the items in;
How do you get them out without fighting the job the dowel does, which is keeping the item in place.
I was hoping to see you remove one item to show how you overcome that problem. Thank you for the close caption, I am hearing impaired and they really help me.
Side note; I really like your French cleat builds. You take the mystery out of them by doing detailed builds on them.
If you mean the saw rack then the dowel has just enough upward movement that as you bring the saw upwards the dowel releases the squeeze and so long as you are moving upwards the saw comes away. Downwards and it grabs again. I am glad you like the videos. I really enjoy ,making these type of ones. Thank you for commenting.
Hi! Thank you for your video. It is great. But…
…if you are using magnets anyway so extensively, why not using them on your saws, too? They give you a much smaller footprint.
And if you want to stick to a friction based grip for the saws, try using your dowel based mechanism upside down with two levers instead of the dowel/ramp solution. Think of your hands when praying. Put some rubber mat where your finger tips are and an axis each where your wrists are. To connect the levers with the axis you can use eyebolts to make it an easy build. You can use two layers/rows of this mechanism above each other with an offset to make the footprint even smaller (so one saw gets stored in the lower rack and the next one in the upper rack and the next one again in the lower rack and so one - if you get my picture). Still I‘d prefere the magnet solution, though…
If you use magnets to hold/store a tool, rather use the rubber mat to cover the magnet instead of the felt. Usually the tools are made of harder metal than the magnets so they would rather scratch the magnet than vice-versa. But if you still feel the urge to protect the tools from the magnets then keep in mind that the strength of the magnet decreases exponentially (!) with the distance. Also magnets are strongest when the metal objects are pulled away from them. They are much weaker when you slide the objects to the side (So: Provided that the contact surface is the same, it would be much harder for you to pull down the metallic object from a magnet above than from a magnet to its side. But the saw being so thin makes it much more effective to hold it with a magnet to its side that to its top.) So rather use the stickiness of the rubber mat than the smoothness of the felt to compensate for the los of magnetic force due to the further distance that you need to have some space/rubber/felt between magnet and the tool.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Wow, so much good advice. Thank you. I like the praying idea. I think I have been something similar using rubber bands too. I like the tiered idea too. I may actually need to make a plan and draw it up. Not like me but it could happen.
In all honesty the covering on the magnets is more for feel than protection of the tools I like the softer touch against the tool. But what great info on the rest. So much good advice. I am so grateful. Thank you.
Brilliant mate 👍
Thank you Robert.
Some good ideas there rkid 👍👍
Thank you bud.
The clear front on the chisel holder is the real trick. I might not even bother with the magnets.
To be fair you could do that quite easily. I just like that mine stand straight. Looks really neat. Not sure that is the important bit though.
Great video
Thank you very much.
THANKS- UR VIDS ARE WONDERFUL
And thank you kindly.
You might find it easier to use heat shrink instead of silicone on the dowels, as it's somewhat almost all of us have on hand.
That's a great idea. Thank you
Great idea for the chisel till, love how it folds out! Haven't sold me on the 90 degree saw till though, any space you've saved side to side still needs to be bare so you can get the saws at the back in and out. Bit more of a faff getting them in and out that way compared to the old one too.
YEah, I missed a trick with the saw till. I could have made the one side thinner as it only has smaller saws in it and I think I can save a few more cms and add in another saw each side. Lucky I made it rough so I can have another go. And you are right, it is a little bit of a faff so the saving of space needs to be bigger.
Spend more time thinking this and doing it than actually woodworking. Love the ideas but oh life’s too short
Some days I need the quick wins that this gives me. I dont always have the time to make something more complicated. In truth I thought the chisel one up as I went and it only tool a few hours. It was my favourite build of the month. Really satisfying. So I agree that life is too short but we all enjoy different things and these are mine. I hope that makes sense.
Groovy! Excellent demo of how useful cleats are. Alas, my garage workshop is a bit of a shambles at the mo' as I'm in the middle of a workshop renovation. I've had a French cleat wall for around 6 years, but have not made full use of it yet. I've been using those magnetic doofers from Parkside. Really handy for drill bits, as they are always within reach. The saw holder is an excellent idea. I think I'll be copying that one. Thanks for sharing. Btw, where do you get your rare earth magnets? They are not cheap, but you seem to be scattering them around like confetti.
Sadly mine are not rare earth. Just cheap neodymium, if I have spent that right. I suspect that is why some tools need 2. Still, at least they are a reasonable price.
That looks great, I wonder if I could make one for my lathe chisels?
Thank you. Very much appreciated, And you definitely can.
I think you'll find your cleat locking blocks working out and falling on the floor over time. Every time you take a tool out the clear will move a bit and wiggle them out.
Maybe. So far they have been pretty tight, I was worried on the clamps especially. But time will tell.
I am sure you said this prev but I am new. Like your assemble shop bench doesn’t feel finished. Gaps at corners. Maybe for a reason. Idk. But I still like it as many will even if they don’t know why.
The bench will probably never be complete. Always adjusting it. But do you mean the gaps between the saw and assembly bench, sadly they are so the fence can move back and forth. Or do you mean the ones next to the wing side the one I have the fence cleat on. That gap is because the wing comes off the side and can be made flat to extend the bench.
0:48 Oooh!
lol,
The problem you had with the screws in the chisel holder wasn't strictly due to the impact driver (although that didn't help. You probably should have used flat head screws, not bugle head
I agree. Thank you. Good advice.
Great video mark, who doesn’t love a french cleat wall ❤️, where do you get magnets strips from?
Hi Mark. The small magnets are from Amazon. The magnet strips that I have on the thumbnail at the moment was cheap from Lidl. But they are reasonable on Amazon too. If that is the one you mean.
good tips
Thank you very much.
For your chisels box you should have made it clear on the other side too so you can see which to pick out when open
now that would have been brilliant. Great idea.
convinced me. I liked & sub'd
Thats really great. Thank you
Time for you to see the final word in tool walls. Ed Stiles here on TH-cam. Two videos. Ten years old now. It will blow your mind.
oh, I wonder if he has taken them down. There are just 2 on his channel.
@@startmaking1 Only had two videos. Still, impressive shop wall. Wish we had seen more.
How about using heat shrink tubing instead of that tubing? It will be even smaller?
Thats a great idea. thank you
You could have made him even tighter if you moved the grip point on the 22° angle higher make it on the top it only has to move a millimeter
Very good point. Thank you.
The chisel holder revision is a positively elegant solution!
The "sneak peek" You did at the beginning almost made me jump ahead to that section. It was the equivalent of looking for the thumbnail shot on porn! Lol
Brilliant video! Cheers.
lol, thank you.
super video! I think you need some real rare earth magnets. The 3/8 ones hold an chisel no problem. I only know where to buy them in Canada at "lee Valley" The best tool store ever. Not sure what it would cost to ship them bu you would love em. FYI the rare earth magnets from amazon etc are garbage, They're merely coated.
Thank you. And thank you for the magnet advice. I tried a search around amazon but I suspect you are right. I will have to dig a little deeper as these magnets are pretty average.
@@startmaking1 The amazon ones are "coated" with rare earth magnets. The ones from lee valley are so strong that improper handling of the larger one can break a finger if you are in between where they want to go.
Hi Mark. Glad you done this one as I have the same saw holder and need to remake it so great food for thought here. I'm thinking of making the vertical and angled pieces out of the same piece of wood I e. Cut one side of the wood at the 22.5 degree angle. Hopefully this will also save space. Regarding the chisels, would it not make sense to turn around the middle layer so that the clear window is showing forward when opened up? Other than that, I guess I have something new to build next weekend 😂 I think I'll make the chisel holder for 8 videos rather than 9 and then the handles will be offset to each other
The window being turned is a difficult one. I dont really use the back chisels all that often so I chose it this was so I can just open the front page and see the second. But if you use all layers then yes I would say turn it around. I really want to make a wider one but not sure how weight will affect it. Offset handles is really smart. You could save 5mm per tier. Which in effect means one extra tier in 4 if my maths is close. Thats pretty good efficiency. Damn, now I really want to make another. Honestly Im not French cleat obsessed.
@@startmaking1 as obsessions go, there's worse ones to have 😃
Also, not sure if you put a bottom on them or not but I probably won't so any sawdust can fall out rather than being trapped
What ply do you use for the cleats? As I know all plywood is not made equal. It has to be fairly robust.
Yeah. It is a bit of a lottery sometimes. I am lucky and have a timber supplier close by as the stuff I got from Wickes was really poor. I dont go for the lowest grade but one up. The veneer is still really thin but there are less voids in the plys. costs me about £50 per sheet. Sorry that I dont know the exact type.
@@startmaking1 Thanks for the quick reply.
Why not turn the saws vertical so you use the space above the cleat wall?
Thats a good idea bud. I would have to see how to hold them in place. But definitely a space saving idea.
Just use what you made, but flip the saws over
❤
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
Love the videos but not a fan of the purple lighting. It makes everything seem really soft.
I totally get it. It is a work in progress and in many ways it is for my sake when I am editing. the grey on grey was starting to bug me as it is so cold and stark. Eventually I want to have a slight glow in the back or side wall. Nothing too intrusive but as I say a work in progress. I do really appreciate the feedback thank you.
Just keep it up mate. You’ve inspired me to create my own small shop and I like a lot of your ideas!
just wondering if you know what “exponentially” means?
Hi Barry. Great to hear from you. And yes I do. Thank you.
Are you not h&ll of clever? Yes, you are.
Thank you. Very much appreciated,
I am not a fan of the French so I don't want any of their cleats.
The chisel holder would easily just screw onto a wall I guess.
@@startmaking1 My workbench isn't near a wall. But I do have some chisels pretty far from it in a drawer. They're the overflow. I have a freestanding rack and those are the chisels I end up using the most. But my "good" set is in a leather wrap. Not that they're very good or even a matched set. I don't even know where that wrap is today. That's how often I use it. I have a fair idea where I'd look for it. It's in that area.
