Thank you all very much for watching and I hope you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
This is brilliant Chris 👏 love it!
Love your videos! Recommend a riving knife for your table saw. I want to make sure you stay safe for those kiddos. You are a great dad!
Thanks brother. That was four years ago when that video came out. I know I have a Sawstop to protect so much.
Such a smart Idea!!!! Never thought about using a french cleat system for a closet. Genius!!!!
Thank you so much. Yeah it works out really well for us. Do you plan on doing the same thing or something similar?
@@AGlimpseInside I am actually about to make a tool wall using a french cleat system. Unfortunately, I just redid my closet or else I probably would have used this method. But your videos really show how versatile french cleats are. Like also would have never thought about hanging a tv. But anyways, thank you for sharing! Definitely gave me a lot of different ideas
Fantastic! Great family!
Well that’s an idea I never thought of!!
Just what I was looking for. I love the fact that nothing is on the floor. Easy to clean
I like this build, great idea!
Brilliant idea.
Yes it was LOL thank you so much
Holy cow seeing your daughter now versus then I didn’t think she could get any cuter
This is without doubt one of the cleverest (it's a word now 😉) solutions for a closet.
I'm off to build my own.
Your jobs always make people happy
That’s such a nice thing to say thank you so much
@AGlimpseInside very good idea...you can certainly translate this system into the pantry
I been looking for a project like this. My wife is much shorter than me and I been looking for French Cleat ideas.
Thanks for sharing cute kid's
Good idea I need storage in a linen closet. I'm totally hooked on French cleats. I'm in process building a wood shop in a pole barn. I've installed 2 1/2”-3” cleats on the gerts on three walls. I use 3” cleats to hang some cherry cabinets
Question: how do I install cleats behind bathroom cabinets without the clests showing? Anyway I enjoy your videos! I also get some ideas for using French cleats. Thanks
Thanks, Dad! Love it!!
You’re welcome child! Hahaha. Thanks for watching
Impressive idea and results!
Thank you so much
One of the more useful videos Ive ever seen on youtube.
That is fantastic to hear. Thank you so much. I just wish it got to more people! Share it on various social media if you don’t mind!
Très belle réalisation je vais m’en inspirer pour mon futur dressing merci 😉👍
Thank you so much I appreciate the kind words
it is nice to know that i am not the only one to use sandals when i am working in the garage.
+Seth Lewis oh yes. Thinking of changing my channel to the "flip-flop fabricator" lol just kidding
We're about to complete the build on our house. This project will definitely come in handy for the new house. Thanks for the walkthrough!
+Joel Rittenhouse thank you sir. Do you know if you live in the Northeast Florida area, I do commission work. Hint hint
A Glimpse Inside even better! I don't think I have even half the tools necessary to get this done in a reasonable timeframe. let alone that amazing digital level!
+Joel Rittenhouse let me know when I can help!
A Glimpse Inside definitely will do. my wife has a laundry list of projects for the house.
This system is just what I was looking for. THANK YOU!
Just finished adapting and building a similar setup.
+rcl700 You are very welcome! We love ours, I’m sure you will find You would love yours too thanks again
Awesome.

+Elliot Longworth thank you so much. The kind words are overwhelming! Thanks for being involved!!
Love the idea! You can adapt this to what ever your needs are! I would love to see other videos if you create any other hanging products on here! I'm thinking shelf area on top!
+Sam Powers oh yes definitely a shelf on top. I have one whole French cleat wall in my shop that I am going to redo in the next few months. Be on the lookout for that. Thanks Sam definitely appreciate you brother
New subscriber..... Just got into the hobby... Your channel has given me tons of ideas for a closet cabinet I want to build... Good stuff brother
That’s awesome thank you so much I appreciate the kind words

nitza berrios Thank you very much
Awesome, an other great video. I like the idea, with the French cleats module closet. That would of been handy when my kids were younger. Keep up the good work brother.
Jeremy Lincoln thanks again sir. I really appreciate you getting involved! I'm curious on how he's going to rearrange it in the future. Thanks again Jeremy
Love your stuff and love cleats, I just wish you could slow mo for newbies like me!
I often go to settings and slow the speed down on these videos. Plus I find it helps to pause and sketch what I'm seeing and try to visualize actually doing it.
Really diggin this idea! Great videos
+Steven Jarvie thank you so much really appreciate the view and the comment take care!!!
Another great project! I've been thinking on an idea like this myself and it's great to see how it came together for you.
+Vintauri RC thank you, we are super happy with how it turned out

Thank you so much
Well done!
+scott atwater thank you as always!!
Great system!
This is amazing. Do you mind sharing the dimensions of you boxes and closet size?
I’m sorry I don’t have those measurements at the moment. Honestly you just need to do it for your space. Every space is so different he just got to do some math to figure out what would work best for you. I hope that helps sorry I don’t have that info
No wriving knife? Youre brave.
Had one for years now tho
Nice build, man. Was that a tribute/spin-off of Linkin Park playing in the background? Good either way. Greetings from Germany!
Meshak- Attacks what's up man. Thank you so much. Actually that song is one from UA-cam's free library. It's called Hot Heat. It does sound a little like LP for sure!! Thank you very much for watching!!!
I see that you have your Miter saw facing your assembly area how you like that setup? I have mine up against a wall and has to be about a foot away to do the arms.
Aaron Nelson yeah you know what, I pretty much hate it. The dust kind of goes everywhere, however I have a massive fan blowing in that direction out the garage. That way the dust gets blown away by the air movement. I plan on incorporating a small miter station up against where my lumber rack is I just haven't had time to do it yet? Good question haven't been asked that yet!
ahh the dust good point, i hate mine being against the wall i lose space, i was trying to think of where else i can put the saw to save space but stay functional.
Aaron Nelson there's got to be a happy medium somewhere. If I had more space facing out the garage, maybe a three car, I would ideally just have all the sawdust shoot out into the driveway, having the miter saw parallel with the garage doors at the entrance
then you have to sweep it up which is what i am trying to avoid especially in winter.
Do you have plans with dimensions for this project?
First time viewer...
I like your explanations and errors (haha)
Question, How much weight can a cleat system hold?
I haven’t tested the weight however I’m assuming 100+ lbs or so.
@AGlimpseInside CHRIS, CHRIS, CHRIS!!! You are my French cleat guy so I had to tell you about my idea!!! I was suddenly inspired by @EverydayBuilds while watching him make a planer cabinet! He made a simple drawer pull that looks like half of the French cleat...that's when it hit me...what if you turned it 45 upwards?! Then you can hang various holders including a tray off the front of your work table instead of taking up space on your tabletop!! Then I realised you can make a shop cart with adjustable height for a flexible outfeed table and have cleats on that too! You said more counter space is your goal so what do you think? I also posted over on his channel and Matthew Peech...I'd love to see your ideas!
Definitely a good idea. I’ll toss it on the old noggin. Thanks for chiming in brother. Hope you’re having a good week.
@@AGlimpseInside *ahem * that would be sister...lol
@@fdort3971 oh no, hope I don’t get canceled for that mistake. Lol. All good girl.!!
@@AGlimpseInside no worries...I'm still a big fan!
Woodprix is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
Nice video,just way too fast to understand,slow down Dude.
I have checked many woodworking plan sites. I think the instructions from Stodoys plans are the best.
Sorry, I left after 7 minutes because you were going so fast. What was the hurry/
I’ve learned a lot in the past for five years. I am much more deliberate in my delivery in the videos that come out now.
I started with Stodoys plans.
