Don’t feel bad last month I pulled my back and as my wife was driving us home from some errands I made her pull over and pick up 2 crappy boards from the middle of the road (as I could barely walk)that must’ve fallen from someone’s truck lol..I also get and rip down any pallets I can get lmao. wood isn’t cheap nowadays n I’m broke, picked the worst time to start woodworking as a hobby, at the beginning of COVID when lumber prices skyrocketed that’s when I decide to start woodworking smdh .. love every video of yours I’m watching your back catalogue religiously! Especially build videos, keep it up! So glad Jonathan kats turned me on to your channel
I pulled my back with a side of sciatic nerve PAIN 🤕 in 2020, also at the beginning of Covid, and as I was "healing" I discovered these YT videos. Ditto currently (Aug 2022) and though I now have a collection of wood from breaking down pallets and "collecting" haha, I can't wait for this episode of excruciating pain to subside to get out there and build. Good luck to you Fabian. 👊 A big high five 🖐 to your wife for dodging cars to pick up those boards for you 👍
I agree, the pace, voice over, and humor are great. Just bought 4 of your plans... I should have bought this one.... maybe next time... I really need wood storage... Excellent job....
i think that is the beeeeest video i've ever SEEN !! Especially that trick about sawing an area to chip out that'll let a blade in. THANKS DUDE !! Great narration too (after a KAJILLION years of messing around I got this done - ha ha)
Congratulations on your videos. It is very good to see its simplicity as well as its qualities ... Many err, hide, but you show us your mistakes ... Great men are like this ... I thank you for the teachings and wish you much success and health. Big hug from Brazil. Said Choucair
You are one of my favorite woodworkers to watch. Your videos are applicable to the common woodworker and the videos allow for proper execution of the project along with the comic relief we all need! Simple solution for your glue bottle.... you could use the unmentionable pallet wood to make a 6 inch by 1 1/2 inch with a tapered notch that fits under the cap. Makes for a nice lever for those of us that get on in years or forget to clean the tip before we close the bottle. I’ve actually changed over to a Gluebot. Great investment! Btw, eventually everyone is going to want their “appropriated” lumber back! lol
Fine craftsmanship! I'm a plumber, I evenly space 2x4s along my wall with holes drilled into them at a slight upward angle with a drill bit guide made from a piece of 2x4. Then took old 1/2" galvanized water lines I removed from various jobs and made lots of 3 different length rods I could put in the holes at different alignment and heights. I have material as short as 3' up to 20' on there. Only cost was 8 2x4s. Took about 3 hrs all time involved and works slick!!
Mesmerizing to watch. A real skilled craftsman at work making a long and tedious job look easy and quick, and with the most thoughtful details in the design. I couldn't believe I watched the whole thing
I like it and the way you built the wood holders you have room below the top cleat to put in a block of wood to lock it down and make it absolutely tornado proof. Works good on lots of cleat accessories that may come off due to the item stored in it. Please do an in-depth video of air compressor system that I can remotely start i.e, I’m wanting to store inside my workbench and have a panel on outside that allows me to start, stop, have air filter and oiler and here is the kicker, discharge the air and moisture automatically when done using it. I don’t keep my compressor pressurized. Thank you, great channel!
Can never ever get enough of your humour ! You don't just make things, you make them interesting as well. Think I could watch your vids. for hours on end... lol thks
Wow. I love it. Such an enjoyment watching your video and narration. It is the best. So proud of you. My friend once told me I was a hoarder. I'm going to open a Facebook account on hoarding and call it something else because there is no such thing as hoarding it's call caring for the earth. Working in the building industry all my life we see good materials, old wood all thrown into the bin to be taken away for landfill. The ones who collect this are mindful souls. We can find a use for it one day. And so it sits in your yard for ten years so you decide to dump it. The following week you have a project and needed that something you just threw in the dumpster. I love your cleats and the process you went through. To the point I got to question if the wall stud work can handle the quantity you put on the wall. I have tin sheds so I cannot build these cleats so I started welding. Once again brilliant video. I enjoyed it immensely. I question if insulation is really necessary. We know insulation prevents cold or hot entering areas. We also learn once an abundance of heat or cold does get in it takes longer to expel . Unless you have plenty ventilation. Trees are the best form of stabilising or keeping cool where I live at least.
That has got to be the nicest wood rack I have ever seen. I am beginning to really appreciate the versatility of the French Cleat System. Nice job on making those mortises without the use of a chisel! Bill on the Hill... :-)
I have to say that I have been somewhat closed minded about french cleat versatility, but no more thanks to your enlightening videos. Gracias Keep em coming! Stay safe and have fun...
Always good to take something that was headed to the landfill ,and get some use out of it.All that wood deemed to short to be any good is now being put to work in your shop. Awesome project
So nice to be able to make the things you need instead of buying, especially when the things you make help keep things tidy so you can make EVEN MORE THINGS....like clamps.
"Well," he concluded with a smirk and an incomprehensible glare, "that was rude!" Great work. Thanks for sharing. Great video. Great project. Great video editing. Great narration. Appreciate your style and sense of humor, sir!
Love this design of a French Cleat as it can hold tools in cases and makes the strongest Shelf Bracket I've ever seen without screwing into studs! Thank You for the Plans!!
I absolutely love this idea!!!!!!! I love all of the jointery that’s going on. I’ve watched about 20+ videos and this will definitely be the one I use. Now just to figure out an easy way to attach it to cinder blocks! This is SUPER informative and definitely doable for all intermediate woodworkers like myself. Very nice video.
I’m with you “ waist not: want not!” Just love your builds.. I’m getting ready to start a new shop that his a 40’ x 14” storage building that I had moved in last year. The folding table cart is on the list as I looking at CNC machine. Looking at lumber storage to go over the miter saw area.
I appreciate the excellent videography, the patience with your wise little man, the honesty, and the novel approaches to French cleats (that are getting plenty of air time lately).
Very engaging! I was riveted to the French cleat wood racking system thanks to well done videography and narration (and good humor) covering all the details. Nice job! Thank you.
I think this is the absolute best version of a lumber rack I have seen! Amazing design! I believe that I want to do this for my shop! Thank you very much for this video!
Nicely done. Clearly capable woodworker, great humor, creative work, humble. Nothing worse than trying to learn new techniques from someone who thinks they know it all...which are 99% of all other channels.
Don’t comment often but had to say I enjoyed watching this, good skill, simple and direct narration with my kinda humor. Great job all around. Subscribed.
I like your ideas and videos. You seem like a likable kinda guy. As I mentioned in another video comment, I get your sense of humor. Please keep up your great work/videos.
Thanks for your outtakes at the end of your videos! I am a new maker/builder and absolutely LOVE knowing mistakes, small or big, are part of the process. They’re also really funny most times!! This cleat system is ingenious, by the way! Now I know how I’m going to store my scraps!!
Its great to know, I'm not the only hoarder of wood scraps. Lol, I've used the French cleat to hang art work (other peoples art) now I have to try it for all my scraps. Great idea..............Love the video.........
Well done. After doing a bit of woodworking and video production, I thought, wow this video and wood project together took a lot of time. This guys has got way too much time on his hands. And recording the process of building slows down the building quite a bit. Respect.
Wow, that's great! I get a lot of ideas from UA-cam videos. I had a lot of wood laying around my basement, too. After watching all you went through to make shelves, I threw all the wood out.
I perform roadside wood rescues as well - my wife has criticized this many times - until several pieces get used to make something she needs. - But somehow in all of this, her hording many bits & pieces "just in case" can never be brought into question...
What a refreshing and educational video! I am always looking for ways to consolidate & organize my workshop, and I got some great tips from your video. Thanks.
Great build, i love the French Cleat system so versatile for moving stuff, or when you get fed up and want to add something else. Well Done. Barry (ENG)
For starters, great French cleat idea. For a cheap man with his wood, you have some nice machinery. Big space too. Loved the video. Nice to see you don't take yourself too seriously either.
GREAT project. It really does feel good getting organized. Of course you could have spent a couple of thousand dollars and got a fancy pre-made rack and saved all the time cutting, sanding, routing, cutting and more routing then final sanding. Seriously, you can't beat a French Cleat system. If you decide to put a cabinet on that wall - no problem. Nicely done ! !! !!!
Great video! Nice job of explaining step by step what you we’re doing. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam not only for content but it was well thought out and even had some humor.
Like most of us! I have a Dewalt dwe 7480 table saw, a Bosch table top router table, etc. But it is nice to see your channel because you make some really awesome projects with what most people have in their garages or basement shops. I like watching a channel that makes me want to get out to my own shop and build something.... unlike other UA-camrs whose shops are so nice..... that after watching one of their videos....I get the urge to light my shop on fire.....
+Joseph Robbins haha thanks, Joseph! I’m slowly starting to accrue some decent tools as I grow my shop but you’re right. Most people can do more than they think with less than they think... if that makes sense. Lol
Hats off to your wife for allowing you all the free time... Also nice editing!
Thanks

Completely agree. Pace was spot on imo.
I agree, the pace, voice over, and humor are great. Just bought 4 of your plans... I should have bought this one.... maybe next time... I really need wood storage... Excellent job....

Literally subscribed as soon as I saw the kid. Woodworking plus kids makes my heart happy. Be well sir.

Yours is the best design for my small shop. Guess I need to build one. Thanks for all your great videos, have watched them all, some several times👏
Thanks 👍
As others have said... an interesting topic, but the style and sense of humor... BRILLIANT! Well worth a subscribe.
Narration is over the top funny! We share sense of humor. Nice work!
Aerodynamic as a retired aircraft mechanic, I approve. We'll done. As I prepare to move and start my own shop, thank you.
Go for it!
Had to play the "I think I have to many clamps ... said no one ever" part to my wife multiple times. Great vid!
Haha! Thanks!
I did too. I always need more clamps !!
Free plans! Can't follow them, don't own enough clamps :(
Mine still doesn't believe that. I've argued this point with her. After the 40th, she was asking for mercy. Guess I'll take a break...for now.
For anyone not sure it’s at 7:38
What a fantastic demonstration and brilliant idea.
Many thanks!
Mesmerizing to watch. A real skilled craftsman at work making a long and tedious job look easy and quick, and with the most thoughtful details in the design. I couldn't believe I watched the whole thing
Your vids are not only very educational but more importantly funny!!!!!
Even short sections of oak from pallets are important and deserve a home in a shop in preparation to be part of a project!
Wow! Bravo...well done. That's a project that requires a lot of careful planning and work.
I like it and the way you built the wood holders you have room below the top cleat to put in a block of wood to lock it down and make it absolutely tornado proof.

Your humor and sense of irony is so funny. I've had so much fun watching your videos.
The sarcasm is an excellent touch, glad I subscribed!
Can never ever get enough of your humour ! You don't just make things, you make them interesting as well. Think I could watch your vids. for hours on end... lol thks
Not only are you a good woodworker, you're also a good comic. I need to build a lumber rack and this jumped up in my feed. Thanks.
Wow. I love it. Such an enjoyment watching your video and narration. It is the best.
So proud of you.

I remember when my "bestest buddy in the world" helped his "old pops" do things in the garage. God I miss those days.
I have to say that I have been somewhat closed minded about french cleat versatility, but no more thanks to your enlightening videos. Gracias
Keep em coming! Stay safe and have fun...
Thanks, Emil!

I'm a wood horder myself. Loved the video, especially the commentary!
Glad you enjoyed!
I don't think this system is right for my needs but man those brackets are awesome and they look great!!!
"Well," he concluded with a smirk and an incomprehensible glare, "that was rude!"
Great work. Thanks for sharing. Great video. Great project. Great video editing. Great narration. Appreciate your style and sense of humor, sir!

Thanks, Zach. Welcome!
Oh man, look at all that room on the floor for more wood!
No more tools first!!
It'll be easier if you just buy a bigger house..lol Awesome idea and great instructional video. 2 THUMBS UP 👍👍 and consider me a subscriber.
Great project and great humor
Wow! That is A LOT of cleats! Really neat! I guess you're keeping busy through the lock down. And look at all that unused floor space!
always love your videos, practical , good education and love the humor :) my favorite is still when you "liberate" some lumber :)
Great build my friend! Great build! Humor is my style! You probably even like the movie "Three Amigos"!
French Cleats are one of those things that works and it's closer to the walls than anything else great job on that thumbs up my friends
Really nice idea to make some sturdy french cleats
Very nice. My wife will enjoy getting to se the garage floor again after this project.
Buddy was givin er putting those cleats up!! Good vid.
I like your ideas and videos. You seem like a likable kinda guy. As I mentioned in another video comment, I get your sense of humor. Please keep up your great work/videos.

You're very welcome, Jared! :)
Great idea...... Thanks, Kathy
I really liked the video. I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I have to say you have a voice that would do very well reading an audiobook. Great video
Haha, thanks Evan. Maybe you'd like my podcast then? It's called WeBuiltAThing on iTunes.
Very informative and entertaining video. Gotta try this but feel like it will take me a million years to complete....
I've never laughed so hard at anybody's woodworking videos! Great instruction, ideas, and laughs!
I am just renovating my workshop.... and putting up a French cleat shelving system. So I found your two videos on this topic very useful, thanks!
I have watched A LOT of videos and I think your video taught me the most! Thank you VERY much! Great job!
There is no such thing as too many clamps. I'm glad you knew that.
Nice vid.
Instructive AND Bucket ‘O Lard Certified Strength! Love it. Keep em coming!
Great personality and informative yet entertaining on a humanist level.
Just found your videos. Love them so far. Love the humor. Keep it up.
Thanks Doug
A lot of effort but you came out OK with the result . Well done and thanks for sharing.
That does look like a lot of work, but also looks like an invaluable solution to a nagging problem. Good work man
Yes nice and clean makes it a safer shop and less ( trip's) to the hospital. Cheers Robbie from Huyton UK
Love your humor on this video. I like the idea too lol.
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice job! Well thought out - good explanation of what you we’re doing. A little bit of humor too!
Great idea and presentation. Gotta like having your helper there too.
Its great to know, I'm not the only hoarder of wood scraps. Lol, I've used the French cleat to hang art work (other peoples art) now I have to try it for all my scraps. Great idea..............Love the video.........
Wow. That really is a lumber hoard!
Love the project and your humor !
This guy sounds like the narrator from “The Sandlot”!!!!!! Amazing
Well done. After doing a bit of woodworking and video production, I thought, wow this video and wood project together took a lot of time. This guys has got way too much time on his hands. And recording the process of building slows down the building quite a bit. Respect.
I built these as specified in the video and stored over 100 lbs of oak on a pair of them for over two years. Good design, no issues.
this is sick. Wish I had the tools AND the patience to do it myself. Thanks for sharing!!
looks like lots more wall space for more brackets too. Good job.
HOLY LUMBER FISHER! Great build.
Thanks!
That was awesome...And a ton of work. Love that sense of humor.
Wow, that's great! I get a lot of ideas from UA-cam videos. I had a lot of wood laying around my basement, too. After watching all you went through to make shelves, I threw all the wood out.
I'm very much impressed by the bulk of the lumber holding arms that you made that fits into the French cleat system they look very strong
I perform roadside wood rescues as well - my wife has criticized this many times - until several pieces get used to make something she needs. - But somehow in all of this, her hording many bits & pieces "just in case" can never be brought into question...
Yup, this is peak storage perfection
Simple yet elegant and strong as can be. Another great video
Thanks Andy
I’d stop for it every time!! Free nice hardwood is like manna from heaven.
Right?? Haha, thanks Dennis! :)
Awesome video! Serious enough to learn funny enough to watch more. You definitely say what Woodworkers are thinking!
That's a lot of clamps. I love it ! I love the versatility of the French cleat system. Thanks for sharing. -Will
Thanks, Will!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to produce them. Y'all take care and God bless.
What a refreshing and educational video! I am always looking for ways to consolidate & organize my workshop, and I got some great tips from your video. Thanks.
Awesome design!!! Very fun video to watch too!!!!
Thanks Matt. 😀
Great build, i love the French Cleat system so versatile for moving stuff, or when you get fed up and want to add something else. Well Done.
Barry (ENG)
Thanks, Barry! Couldn't agree more!
For starters, great French cleat idea. For a cheap man with his wood, you have some nice machinery. Big space too. Loved the video. Nice to see you don't take yourself too seriously either.
Phew,thanks Drew. Glad I'm not the only French Cleat junkie on the planet! I have nothing but ☺
Haha, thanks Stephen!
GREAT project. It really does feel good getting organized. Of course you could have spent a couple of thousand dollars and got a fancy pre-made rack and saved all the time cutting, sanding, routing, cutting and more routing then final sanding.
Seriously, you can't beat a French Cleat system. If you decide to put a cabinet on that wall - no problem.
Nicely done ! !! !!!
Thank you very much! You're so right
wonderful job and awesome editing! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching Neriyah
+Fisher's Shop The pleasure was mine. Thank you for spreading your knowledge and your great attitude (:
Looks like a great solution. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Way to go! Looks better than my first attempt at a French cleat lumber storage system!
Great video! Nice job of explaining step by step what you we’re doing. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on UA-cam not only for content but it was well thought out and even had some humor.
Well thanks, Scott
