My husband passed away almost 4 yrs ago. He was a real clutterbug and left his workshop in such disarray, that every time I went out to work in there I became overwhelmed. I didn’t know where or how to start organizing the shop until I started watching your channel. Thank you, you’ve broken the tip of my iceberg.
First of all Maria. So sorry to hear about your husband. Secondly I really appreciate you reaching out and saying since kind words about us here. I hope you’re able to get his space organized once again. And again thank you so much God bless
How is it that so many Americans can't figure out the difference between 'due' and 'do'? They don't mean the same thing. Heck, they're not even pronounced the same. Or aren't supposed to be, at any rate.
Love the video, something that I use the french cleats for is securing my sky workstations to the wall. I have a single car garage with taller ceiling due to being unfinished and exposing the roof rafters, but I still want to be able to park in the garage, and having workbenches and places to put all my woodworking stations was not viable on the ground, because typically you build a workbench or station to sit on the ground, but my ground space is off-limits when my car is parked in the garage. So I built smaller standalone stations that my equipment is mounted to IE sander, router, grinder, and such.. and instead of building them to sit on the ground, I use multiple french cleats on them and have them on a cable pully system that stores them up in the ceiling corners of my garage out of the way when I need one of them, I lower it via the cable assigned to it, then as it's lowered down I attach it to the wall on the french cleats so I can use it. When I am done I lift them back up and out of the way.
I'm going to start installing a cleat wall on my new shop wall tomorrow morning. I was browsing videos to gather ideas and find the do's and don'ts before I begin. This was the last video I needed to watch and I am glad I saw it before I started. The parallel cleat idea eliminates steps when cutting the cleats and, as you said, adds functionality without a down side. Thanks for sharing.
@@rollotomasislawyer34057th grade appearance aside. is it really a waste considering you're here and commenting about it, thus adding to his views and increasing his portion of ad revenue.
That is amazing! I'm getting ready to build my french cleat system and will definitely be frequently visiting your channel for awesome ideas! Thank you! ❤️
One idea I have seen and like is to put a small french cleat around the edge of your workbench. Then you can move small parts bins with the cleat and hang them on the side of your bench so it's convenient and not taking up space on your workbench.
I love the concept of your more universal cleat setup, especially the cleat on cleat possibilities. I don't have much free wall space, as I have tons of cabinets (repurposed kitchen uppers, with doors), but your concept makes great use of the end caps and even using the doors themselves for 'tool wall' storage. The trash bag holder with the bottom that sits flat on a bench gives me many ideas for the 'portable' tool holders, as that concept has more utility than the 'rearrangeablity' (is that a word?). I am thinking about maybe a fastener kit or glue kit which goes with you to the assembly table during use, then back on the rack. Congrats on your success (116K subs) since going full time.
I love French cleats. I'm going to make my own tool wall and I will be using this new cleat because I'll be adding, and adding, and shuffling, and adding ...
Fantastic video. Really glad Pete and you have collaborated to showcase this. I'm in the process of redoing my cleat system and this came just in time!
Thanks for the example of how you cut these. I have made that “death cut” before. I am still freaked out by the thought of it and won’t do it again. Great video as usual! Have a great rainy weekend!
Add cleats to a storage trailer and you can easily set up a mobile workshop without having to duplicate all of your tools, supplies, and storage containers. You could probably create a work bench that hooks into the French cleat system and has foldable legs. This also frees up that storage trailer for other uses; moving, transporting big toys, camper set up….
I came here through Stumpy. Love your positive outlook 👍 I just turned 60 last week, and started woodworking a few weeks ago, so I am brand new. I hope I can learn from you as well. Steve Ramsey was my first “teacher” and I am now addicted to many more channels. Good luck with your channel and your family. They are so lucky to have you as a carer. Best wishes from a young at heart female in Germany 🙋♀️
You forgot 2 of the other main features and advantages of the new angled cleat 1) they look better on the wall as they don't cast same harsh shadow 2) you can have them closer together and still slide your holders in place so can put more actual wall mounted cleats which allows more adjustment and customising where everything goes! The old system you need a minimum space above each wall mount to allow space to slide up and pull out while the angles new style can be basically spaced the exact size of the cut cleats..
Can also use 1/2" ply for closer wall cleats and cleaner look. Few things are so heavy they'd bust out of 1/2". And if your wall cleats are close enough, use two for the heaviest stuff. Cheaper and better!!
I think your number 2 is the biggy, but not only does it increase flexibility, it enables that plus use of multiple cleats at different vertical heights to support an item.
So does this mean the fixture holder won't fall off the wall if it is hit? If it still can fall off is there a way to lock it to the wall like Chris shows in other videos?
Perfect for often used accessories and hardware that are used with whatever tool is being hung on the main holder. Bits and blades instantly come to mind. One for your trim router holder that holds bits, wrenches, auxiliary bases, etc. …. Grab the tool then grab the tray and off to work. Geniusly simple
We're looking to build a new house soon and I am planning on doing French cleats in the pantry. This will be perfect to add even more modularity and functionality.
I'm not sure why this is a new idea. I've wondered why we've always thought that the bottom side of the clear had to be square? So much easier to just cut repeat 30 or 45 degree bevels from the sheets. This is how I've always envisioned my French cleat walls.
French cleats have a problem, the shelves will fall off very easily if you kick them from below. A common solution is to insert a removable piece attached to the shelf just below the slat (a slider from the side, a dowel from the front) to lock the shelf at the bottom square edge. This new approach prevents that solution.
@@ARichli, but for situations where that could become a problem you simply have to cut one of these in half, and if you want your whole wall to have standard-shaped cleats you can double the width from the blade to the fence, cut them all like this and then cut them in half at 90°. It's a lot easier to find and cut the halfway mark at 90° between two 45° sides than the other way round.
I thought everyone knew that, I have even seen people make fun of that as the lazy way of avoiding drilling pilot holes. I can't tell you how many times I have done that using drywall screws.
I really like that idea but until plywood comes down, unfortunately won't have a lot but it's what I'm looking for. Love ur videos, I can learn from you all day long!
Do you have any photos or vids of how you set them up? I'm planning my garage cleats and I'm trying to decide on the distance between the cleats. 12", 6", etc.
Good idea. In the professional millwork world, french cleats are done a little differently, they're rabetted cleats instead, which I found is for good reason. If you're hanging wall panels that need to sit side by side and line up with millimeter precision, a diagonal cleat like this will sometimes cause issues. If the wall isn't straight, the panel will tend to ride higher on the cleat and not sit tight to the wall or flat down to the bottom, the rabetted cleat gives reassurance here, either it doesn't go on at all, or it sinks down tight to a reliable height. It's a special case of course, this diagonal cleat is definitely faster and easier to make and will do a great job in regular circumstances.
While the two 45 degree bevels make stacking possible like you've shown, I think a bigger benefit was missed. Having the cleat on the wall have a 45 bevel on the top and bottom means that the two cleats can be closer together. The 45 on the bottom of the wall cleat coupled with the top 45 on the storage device means they can slip together and apart more easily. This is very helpful if making many small part holders for things like screws or loose tenons.
@@jonathangaliano2617 This channels most recent French cleat video demonstrates this very well. Instead of having the 45 degree bevel only on the top edge and the bottom be a 90, both the top and bottom are cut at 45. In the latest video, you'll be able to see how close the two cleats are together. Hope this helps.
Using the brad/pin nailer to hold while glue dries is great. I have a 23 guage nailer that I don't take full advantage of... But now that's gonna change. Thanks! Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
It's cool that you make this video and show people that have no idea what they're doing about woodworking but other than that it's definitely not a game-changing French cleat French cleats been around forever the same thing that you have done in this video is been around forever not game changing
Just a thought: You may be able to simplify communicating your cleat formula (width being synonymous with thickness and material having dimensions of length, height, and width/thickness): Simply add the height of material + width (thickness) of material + thickness of blade and divide the sum by 2: (H + W + Tb)/2 = distance of fence from edge of blade (tooth).
So now I reached the "awesome" part. I kind of had guessed it when the parallellogram cleats were cut. I am not exactly impressed by the execution, although the basic idea might be made to work in one or two different ways. But as I see it the crucial point of french cleats is that all holders have the _same_ type of cleat. By introducing a second, spaced, type this no longer is the case, and such holders would require adding a filler piece to be mounted directly on the F.C. wall. Although that _is_ doable, it is less convenient, and old holders of the basic type would still not be mountable on top of a new type cleat top. I'd go for tighter spaced wall cleats instead, and just add a regular cleat section edge up on the front of holders that have a backplate with some excess space on it. But only for holders that I would only want to move together with the "second layer" holder. Like a holder for a cordless drill could have a second layer holder for drills and bits. You grab the drill and the drill/bits holder off the base holder and take them to the work area. You could also have a portable cleat "wall" or toolbox, and mount the selection of tools - with holders - on or in that, and take everything with you in the car, for example.
I was thinking the same thing (not all holders are the same). What you could do instead, taking the trash bag Holder example, is instead of make the clear have the 45°, you make the back board of the trash bag holder (the one attached to the clear) have the 45°. That would mean, the top tray/item wouldn't need a spacer, and it's cleat would sit on top of the back board of the bag holder. Then all your cleats are the same, and you don't lose on space.
@@parttimewoodworker2225 So the lowest cleat will be a normal, maybe slightly taller (as its contact surface is reduced by at least one cleat thickness) cleat, which then acts as "wall" to the 45° edge on the backplate of the holder? I can certainly see that working nicely, and is saves both depth and mounting an upwards cleat, only requiring cleats and backplate to have the same thickness. Great idea!
With the addition of a hacksaw blade at the front edge, just at the outfeed point, your bag holder/dispenser could be adapted to dispense emery cloth (from a roll), or other "tear-off-the-roll" materials used in shops. I'm about to build my tool storage and I'll use the latest design (double bevel). Nearly all of my tool storage will be in/on rolling walls that are billeted under a staircase that's open on one side to the shop floor. When in use, the whole unit will roll out, and when not in use, the tools are both hidden and not taking up precious footage in the room.
I bought some crown molding and cut the length I needed mounted to my items I wanted to hang and done. Was very easy since I don't have a circular saw to cut an angle.
The parallelogram style can also be used to flush mount a structure to the wall. Just cut a matching relief in the carcass of the cabinet you want to hang. Then it slides right down the parallels and stops at the wall.
That was a long hang on the hook haha, but that's a genius idea. Cleat on a cleat, and a module to bring to your bench for a particular project? Amazing!
Used to call these Split Battens here in Glasgow,Scotland, used them to display information panels in public buildings, in my case Glasgow Museums 👍🏴
Uhm, that is pretty awesome! I have very little wall space and my sorry shelves are not cutting it. this French cleat wall is the answer! I am so glad YT suggested this video!
I don't want to sound rude but using a right tilting tablesaw or moving your fence to the left of the blade with a left tilting tablesaw is actually very safe especially if you have a splitter. Adjusting the fence a few thousands away from the blade at the rear will eliminate burning and kickback is basically impossible. Kickback occurs when something is lifted up and contacts the spinning teeth of the blade. With the blade and splitter riding over the material it is impossible for the piece to make the contact required for kickback. The worst thing that can happen is burning on the flat of the bevel.
This was great! Great explanation along with great examples of how/why someone might want to try something different! Also, really liked the being able to take a piece off the wall and have it be stable to use off the wall such as in the example you did with the trash bag holder. Sometimes when doing a clean up you don’t know how many bags you might need so instead of taking a couple too many and then stuffing them back on top and looking like junk for awhile until you use those extra bags, you keep it neat! Love it!
LOVE the “cleat on cleat” trick!!

Sounds like a good way to arrange e.g. tire pressure guage & engine oil storage for the car too.

The FREEDOM cleat, goes well with freedom fries!
Saw this and I literally gasped when it was revealed what it was. Will add this once I get my french cleat system up.

Used to call these Split Battens here in Glasgow,Scotland, used them to display information panels in public buildings, in my case Glasgow Museums 👍🏴
Cleatception. Great idea!
Excellent ideas. Thank you.
if hanging pneumatic tools so that the connection is open like that get little rubber caps to keep abrasive debris out of the works
I might have to try this in the new shop. You had me at less math 😂
Lol. Yeah math is a four letter word
Love these ideas, thanks for posting them!
Man that’s cleaver. Really cool stuff man
That is a great idea for my shop, thanks
Thanks! Great ideas and great work-you and Pete

Great design and video! One of those 'obvious only *after* you see it' designs.
Bravo…….. Absolutely Brilliant
Uhm, that is pretty awesome! I have very little wall space and my sorry shelves are not cutting it. this French cleat wall is the answer! I am so glad YT suggested this video!
Awesome. Glad you’re here! Hope all is well too!
Awesome idea. thanks, bro.
Thanks for the formula and I’m going to try the double cleat and see how it would.
Well!! This was awesome 👏
I absolutely enjoyed every second of this video.
Thanks so much.
This is awesome, great video!

Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! Thanks
Cleats on cleats, love it man!
i never knew there were other cleat styles called French cleat, i only ever assumed a French cleat was the diagonal. Cool way to stack the shelves!
Great tip .... look forward to using it. 1st video watched from you... subscribed !!
Really slick. Thanks
Great ideas, execution and energy-just subbed-Thank you very much ✅👍
My old Delta table saw bevels toward the fence instead of away. It’s really awkward but no deaths as of yet lol
Great idea! Thanks!
I love this!!
Cool! Thanks a lot!
Nice idea, new to the channel, great job!
Expetacular amigo 👏👏👏 felicitaciones 👏👏👏
I don't want to sound rude but using a right tilting tablesaw or moving your fence to the left of the blade with a left tilting tablesaw is actually very safe especially if you have a splitter. Adjusting the fence a few thousands away from the blade at the rear will eliminate burning and kickback is basically impossible. Kickback occurs when something is lifted up and contacts the spinning teeth of the blade. With the blade and splitter riding over the material it is impossible for the piece to make the contact required for kickback. The worst thing that can happen is burning on the flat of the bevel.
This was great! Great explanation along with great examples of how/why someone might want to try something different!
Also, really liked the being able to take a piece off the wall and have it be stable to use off the wall such as in the example you did with the trash bag holder. Sometimes when doing a clean up you don’t know how many bags you might need so instead of taking a couple too many and then stuffing them back on top and looking like junk for awhile until you use those extra bags, you keep it neat! Love it!
I love it!
Smoooth! 👌
