John, i would recommend that you round over your cleat tips. It doesn't need a lot, but it helps drop the hanger cleat into the receiving cleat, especially when you're mounting cleats you may not be able to see. 😊
Good video, John. I like the idea of being able to reorganize tool locations relatively easily, but I'm not convinced that a French cleat wall is really better than screwing holders to a plywood wall - unless one is constantly reorganizing, not making. But it looks good and I see the value of "reorganizable regions" in a shop. Looking forward to seeing the evolution of your shop. Thanks for sharing.
I think a makers work space and how things are stored, utilized and set up is just as important if not more so than actual woodworking projects. I love the French Cleat walls. I enjoy watching your shop project builds as much as anything else you do in the shop. As hobbiests, D.I.Y woodworkers, without a commercial shops budget or income, we have to make most of the storage, benches, furniture and everything else needed in a shop to make woodworking fun and enjoyable and efficient. Those items are super important and I really like that you show us the various things you do to that end in your shop. It's fun to watch you make a doe bowl and the end result is fantastic, but watching you design and build a simple yet effective French Cleat wall to organize your tools is practical and great to watch and get some ideas from. I am looking forward to seeing the new machines and tools you have coming up in the next year. Like guitar playing, a new instrument inspires creativity. New or upgraded tools inspires creativity which helps to keep the passion and enjoyment alive.
Glad you enjoyed it Colin more to come
so glad you are back to posting videos more often!!!!!
Thanks
French Cleats are so versatile and easy to make unique holders for as well. My shop has cleats on 3 of the 4 walls and I've even hung sone of my cabinets form them to ensure the tops are level as my floor is definitely not. Great video and nice to see your excellent content back on YT for us to enjoy.
Nothing better than some workshops organisation. The side of the holders are great surfaces to to continue the organisation. It looks great.
Absolutely!
Perfect timing for this video man I’m starting my French cleat wall tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas.
Glad to help
Great to see you back up and running John, good luck for the future.
Thanks 👍
Another worthwhile project John. I trust that your workshop is fully secured. Video production must be terribly time consuming but it’s great to have you back.
Full secured Brian cameras everywhere
That's a nice-looking charging station, and I have the perfect place for one
Glad you liked it
Nice vid. Let’s be honest, most builds we do are workshop improvements, just don’t tell the wife that!
Very nice, Jon. Simple + clean = elegant (at least in my maths). Thanks for the video.
Glad you liked it!
this is certainly what I need in my garage/workshop. Thanks mate great video
No problem 👍
Good Video John. plenty to learn from. thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thanks for watching
Hi John, Brilliant idea, just what the workshop needs, plenty of options with a French cleat system put what you want where you want. As always a great video, catch you soon take care
Thanks Shaun. Slainte!
Birch plywood is super expensive where I am, you still able to get it reasonably cheap in Ireland. Great little project fella
Its really expensive here too. I just had these pieces in the workshop for a long time, so I used them.
Good stuff John, great update
Thanks 👍
Nice job 👏
Cheers!
A beautiful project 🥃👍
I've been building my drill and charging station for about 2 years 😂 I'm constantly coming up with new ideas and usually have to start from scratch 😁
It never stops evolving, always changes to be made. Sometimes done is better than perfect.
Nice one John my shed is only 18ftx10 but the two sides and back walls have French cleats it's the way too go 👍👍👍
They are a great option
Great video John! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Great work John!!!
Thank you kindly!
Hi john loving the new content, you kept me going all through lock down, have you any more whisky to review love those as well got most of what you reviewed and they all are very
nice 😜
Any recommendations on ideal or maximum size for a French cleat wall?
You can make it as big as the load carrying capacity of the wall. everybody will have different requirements so make it as big as you need.
Where did you get the birch ply, John?? Did it cost a fortune??
I've had it in the works shop over a year, to buy it now would be expensive. I think 12mm is €120 per sheet
@JohnMcGrathManInShed yeah. It's really gone out of control. I have a small amount that I am holding on to untill I have something that I really want to build.
Wish i had a £1 for everytime you said cleat 😂
Can't have to many cleats
