That Cleat system looks so solidly put together, even with all that weight it doesnt look like anything will move. You did a good job with that project.
Each morning I watch several Videos on woodworking while having my coffee: excellent organizational, space saving and innovational ideas. You really can't get things done in your shop without organization. I've just begun to do my my garage over in French Cleats, your video has given me some great ideas... I give you a ***** star rating!!!! Thanks.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Not sure what I am more excited about the great storage ideas or the fact that you finally have a long term sponsor. It means that your channel is growing and this is great!
This is the kind of low budget “gadget” storage that I need. Practical, functional,and easy to make with most of the stuff I already have in the shop. Outstanding, I cannot wait to see the remainder of the projects.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Been watching US and European UA-camrs, but always been slightly frustrated with their inches and feet. They also often show great products not available in South Africa. Your videos are also fantastic in quality and ideas. Love your work!
This is the video that has truly inspired me to replace a particular set of shelves with cleats. I appreciate your approaches in general. Thanks for sharing.
Your method when showing your process in making a project is impressive by only showing the important steps. Well done. I will continue to follow your methods.
I really like and appreciate your presentation. We watch these types of videos for inspiration and sometimes just to watch someone working with wood. However, we don’t necessarily need to see every little detail repeated a million times. You choose to show parts of the process while explaining what you have already done. This is a great way to visually tell a story. Keep up the great work!
Every single organizer in this video is one I have a need for. I was wondering where to put the French Cleats when I realized that the perfect spot is the pegboard where many of my tools currently reside. So right after I build the workbench based on your design in the other videos, I will build replace the pegboard with a French Cleat wall. Thanks! These are great ideas.
I’ve accomplished most of these tasks with 1-2$ screw in hooks- screwed directly to the studs with 3” screws for heavier items or screwed with 2” screws into a long backer which is screwed into the studs every 16” giving me infinite variability for spacing.
I really enjoyed these shop organizer ideas... I got a lot of inspiration.. so YES please more of these!!! I've done a lot of similar things. For hammers, I made a series of 'U' shaped cradles for each hammer, tilted slightly back so they would stay in place when stored. When I need a hammer I just grab the handle and pull it directly out. Your hammer system is simpler, so you can store more and don't have to fuss with the U shaped cradles, but on the other hand you have to lift it up and out, that would slow down the work flow a little... but that's a nit-pick, and I respect what works for others is a matter of personal taste.
Even though it is simple for each item; it is one of the most helpful DIY'rs I have ever seen. And I am going to copy them soon. Love it. Thank you kind Sir. You are truly a "Cut" Above.
So much content and ideas. I need to make something like this to hold my ROsander while it spins down so I don't have to hold it for 30 seconds EVERY time I need to set it down. This way I can hang it on the wall above my bench even if it's still winding down. Great video sir...can't wait for another.
So you are from SA. I thought so. So lovely down there, I must visit. I'm in California (CA) and a lot of our plants are from the Cape area of SA - Natal Plum, Cape Honeysuckle, Gerbera Daisy, Plumbago White and Blue, Trumpet Vines like Campsis Radicans, Agapanthus Africanus (mistakenly called Lily of the Nile), Abelia, to name a few. I love these organizational projects you do. So very handy. It solves a lot of pesky problems like tape and glove storage. I have a better tip for you on the gloves. Instead of clothes pins, use curtain clips or curtain rings with clips. Easy to clip on gloves and you have a hook or ring on the other end. Matter of fact, I have a bunch in my sewing box and now know what to use them for. FYI - look into large drapery hooks that are not pokey but rounded (no pin) and these are also very handy to hang things on. I love them for curtains as they are easy to remove and wash. Your magnet plate was very exciting to see because it solves a problem I had with drill and driver bits. I detest the boxes these driver bits come in. Small boxes, tight slots (made in China) and you hurt your hands fighting to get them in and out. What a pain! I gave away all my boxes. I wanted to build magnet plates to mount inside a wooden box. I bought the Neodymium magnets but could not figure out how to do this right. Recessing them is genius! Very happy I saw this. For those in the USA, Harbor Freight has large magnet strips for $2 - $5 and you just screw them into a wall panel. The protruding top lip is handy to support screwdrivers and files. No need to recess these. I love your projects. So useful to save space. Congrats on being sponsored! I'm using these tips in my RV as well. Making double walls in the RV kitchen to store spices and gadgets. Thank you. Dankie!
Love the tape storage. At first I was thinking that putting the dowels in at an angle would keep the tape from falling off, but I like your washers much better.
Most of your videos are great to watch but since I have the luxury of a 20 ft x 35 ft workshop, I tend to watch the videos to see how you are getting on, not because I need to save space. This video, however, has 9 items that I can use in my workshop and although I don't have a cleat system (I was given 20 m of 2.5m high wooden library shelving) all of these projects can be fitted Ito my workshop and that makes this video better than great for me. Many thanks. Roll on the weekend, guess what I'm going to be doing :)
Consistently the most creative storage solutions. Your techniques are great. The pencil holder with the flush trim bit to make the shoulder was my favorite.
You and I must be brothers from another mother!!! IK try to organize my tools in a variety of ways, but most often I use left over and home-made kitchen cabinets. I do, however, organize by function, and because I was a remodeler for many years, I have many copies of the same tool. I was glad to see how you handled some of the issues I've dealt with over the years.
Very nice! I am considering using some of your ideas for my system. If I could offer a few suggestions that I think would refine some of those organizers, the first would be for the pencil organizer. You might consider placing a small piece of the packing foam at the bottom of tubes that will have sharpened pencils to help preserve the tips and avoid buildup of carbon/lead. For the rag/cloth storage, you might consider finishing the inside with a high gloss/smooth finish to avoid fibers catching. Certainly not critical, but maybe a little finishing touch. Appreciate your video. 😊
going to build that hammer storage this weekend! with out the French cleat though....i just put up half inch OSB siding on my shed walls and can just screw right into the wall and not have to worry about cleats....
Excellent video. Making these small additions to ones work shop makes the woodworking experience more enjoyable and the work area more inviting. Thank you for sharing.
Great ideas. Congrats on the new sponsor. My truck has a large bed rail mounted tool box. The back is side is flat. I use 3 rare earth magnets to secure my large square to the box. My smaller square is inserted into the gap and rests on another toolbox mounted to the floor of the bed. Been that way for over five years and have never had then fall off.
All great projects and good presentation. Magnetic strip bars can probably be purchased cheaper than building them. Available in multiple lengths and very compact. Kitchen supply houses have an extensive selection for knives and other metal utensils. I love mag strip at stationary tools or workstations, like holding wrenches or keys at the router table, drill press or table saw. I still get some dust in my shop so I don't like safety glasses exposed to the shop environment, so keep them in a drawer.
Love all the ideas, but the rag holder is the sweetest rag holder I've ever seen! Glad you found your way back to making awesome vids for us to be inspired by, My tools all hang from a 100x100 rio sheet I have hanging over my bench (a bit like those old fashioned kitchen pot holders) and it is great for organizing clamps, vice grips, pliers, gloves, etc.
Great job! Super ideas, and fine workmanship. Now I will have to tear down all of my pegboard storage I just put up and do it your way! Lol! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more of your organizing videos.
I have to thank you Sir, at 60+ you have inspired me to ( for a better word) re-tool my 30 yr old 16' x 24' shop..i completely gutted it, as it has needed a new floor for several yrs. but plan on using a lot of your ( and won't lie..some other channels ) great ideas .. I guess it's true ..you can teach old " craftsman" new tricks😂 ( now what to do with 50 baby food and jelly jars 😂😂)
For someone like me who is so unorganized I'm lucky to find my pants in the morning, your videos like this inspire me to actually try to become organized. Maybe I'll even find an extra pair of socks to go with the pants! Cheers!
Man I love the way that you make use out of what you have rather than wasting money on buying new stuff
That Cleat system looks so solidly put together, even with all that weight it doesnt look like anything will move. You did a good job with that project.

Nice rainy day projects. Nice watch (on your wrist)
Hello Jean. Greetings from Cape Town. Great video. Definitely going to use these ideas in my workshop.
Congratulations on getting a sponsor on board! Great news!
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Been watching US and European UA-camrs, but always been slightly frustrated with their inches and feet. They also often show great products not available in South Africa. Your videos are also fantastic in quality and ideas. Love your work!
This is just brilliant !!!!!!!!!!! Love it. Lots of greetings from Belfast
As you stated, in a small workshop, storage solutions prioritize organizational efficiency. Great ideas.
Yes, Jean. Nice to see some small projects with instant pay offs. Thanks for the video.
Nice and neat uniform overall appearance dowel with washer ends a unique idea worth following
So many great ideas. Thank you for sharing these. I'm probably going to make several of thees for my shop.
Congratulations for getting a sponsor. Glad you aren't leaving us. Great ideas!
Who can't use simple to build and great storage ideas?!!! I'm a big fan of French clothes, too! Keep up the awesome video work!
This is the video that has truly inspired me to replace a particular set of shelves with cleats. I appreciate your approaches in general. Thanks for sharing.
Always looking for great ideas for storage...thanks!

I’m definitely going to make the hammer rack this morning. I’ll use the rail from the wife’s wardrobe 😂😂
These are all very good ideas, especially for the safety glasses
All of these ideas are great! Off cuts videos are a great idea given the current price of lumber!
agree
All those ideas are great all space savers can't wait to use them in my shop
I do very much love watching your mind work.

I've heard that some people use a scrap of carpet for random orbit sander rundown. It's very low tech, but cheap, easy and effective.
Great ideas!! definitely the most complicated pencil/marker holder I’ve ever seen
Perhaps some foam on the bottom to protect the tips. As it seems they are stored tip down.

That's gonna be quite useful for my kitchen and for my desk. I'm waiting for the next video.
I like the tape storage idea for all the reasons you like it. It does take up quite a bit of space just for tape though.
Love the tape storage. At first I was thinking that putting the dowels in at an angle would keep the tape from falling off, but I like your washers much better.

Consistently the most creative storage solutions. Your techniques are great. The pencil holder with the flush trim bit to make the shoulder was my favorite.
Your shop is looking good. You could use large plumbing tap washers on the hanger for the safety glasses.
Great idea. Thanks!
Liked the storage for your Squares and rulers. very simple, great idea i'll be using that in my shed.
Happy to see Groundskeeper Willie's grandkids doing well
That’s the best hammer storage I’ve seen, might have to do that for myself. Thanks for the inspiration x
Ingenious but eminently practical. Thanks.
long term sponsor !! congrats man ... u deserve it !!
Clever man! I will be using several of these ideas. Thanks.
Brilliant ideas! We need more videos like this!
Just enjoy watching the sweeping of debris onto the floor!
You and I must be brothers from another mother!!! IK try to organize my tools in a variety of ways, but most often I use left over and home-made kitchen cabinets.

Ideas muy ingeniosas. La verdad. 10/10
Several novel ideas for small tool storage, just the inspiration I needed for my shop, well done
Would love to see the rest of them. I'm gathering tons of ideas for my future shop.
Liked this I am just starting to set my shop up and need all the ideas I can get for my 12' X 32' shop
Watch out for those strings on your hoodie! I learned that the hard way on the lathe!!!😜
Very nice! I am considering using some of your ideas for my system. If I could offer a few suggestions that I think would refine some of those organizers, the first would be for the pencil organizer.

Congrats on the sponsorship. I'm glad to see your success continue!
Love everything you showed, thanks. I'm finishing my first woodshop and I need all the help I can get.
This channel stands out...you are incredible creative and skilfull.
Loved this - please make another one. Thank you!
Great additions to any shop big or small. Good work 👍
Love the tape storage. Well really all of them
Out of all the shop organization videos I've seen, several of your holders were designs I haven't seen yet. Thank you for that! Great video.
I can always find a good idea I haven't thought of on this channel.... cheers.
It's a pleasure.
Agreed
One of the versatile tools that most people didn’t think of is drill press machine. Very nice job 😊
going to build that hammer storage this weekend! with out the French cleat though....i just put up half inch OSB siding on my shed walls and can just screw right into the wall and not have to worry about cleats....
Really good ideas. I am at this exact spot in my shop right now and I am looking for these types of solutions so perfect timing.
Perfect timing now that lumber prices here are at record highs I can now use up scraps.
Congrats on the sponsor !! Always great ideas and well done videos..
Love that French clet system
Awesome video. Definitely going to make some of these.
I loved the rug box! Great idea
Really good job. Love your work.
Excellent video. Making these small additions to ones work shop makes the woodworking experience more enjoyable and the work area more inviting. Thank you for sharing.
Love the very thoughtful planning of these projects. Also, the delivery of the information is completely different then most woodworkers.
Most useful considering I'm starting with my first box. I appreciate the method that has been shown. Thank you.
Great video! Can not get enough ideas for storage in a small shop. Congrats on a new sponsor.
Organization is key! Looking good!!!
Wow, good ideas for the small workshop storage....
These are FANTASTIC!!! PLEASE do more!
Great ideas.
Congrats on the new sponsor.
My truck has a large bed rail mounted tool box. The back is side is flat. I use 3 rare earth magnets to secure my large square to the box.
My smaller square is inserted into the gap and rests on another toolbox mounted to the floor of the bed.
Been that way for over five years and have never had then fall off.
Your system sir, is impeccable. easy to reach, clean, tidy, and even easier to rearrange in the future. good work! thanks for sharing

Loved it all. I'm swapping over to a French cleat from a peg board and the garage is getting a make-over. Your video sure helped, thank you.
Great job! Super ideas, and fine workmanship. Now I will have to tear down all of my pegboard storage I just put up and do it your way! Lol! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more of your organizing videos.

Great ideas~! I'll be using a few of these for my own shop organization efforts, which seem to be endless~! 😀
For someone like me who is so unorganized I'm lucky to find my pants in the morning, your videos like this inspire me to actually try to become organized. Maybe I'll even find an extra pair of socks to go with the pants! Cheers!
I am a big fan of your videos. Please keep them coming.
These ideas are so innovative while still cheap, doable, and useful. Have you ever considered publishing a book of plans?
I've learned a lot while making shop furniture, tool holders etc. It's great fun and you improve your skills.
Good video, tyvm
I can always count on clever ideas and builds. Yes, I would like to more organization ideas. Good work! Thank you.
Loved the hanger for the squares. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.
Pencil storage the best!
Great ideas and lekker to run into a South African channel 🇿🇦
Very nice. Don't have my own workshop but still like watching!
I work with a couple of South Africans in a woodland operation here in Canada, the accent is undeniably unique and interesting
