Shop Shelving using French Cleats - Easy How To
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Today I'm making DIY Shop Shelving with French Cleats for the Shipping Container Shop. This is an easy How To project for the garage, shop or your home... where ever you need to store stuff on a wall!
Knife and Sheath info... I'll be posting this to ebay sometime this weekend and will put Homesteadonomics in the title. Also, i misspoke regarding the knife maker... It is C3 Knives made by Chris Cody.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for watching! Joe

it might take more time making the cabinets one at a time but like he said, it's easier to hang the thing. I custom built my kitchen cabinets. The upper section of the cabinet that attaches to the ceiling was nearly 8 feet long. It took me, my father, and two neighbors to get it up on the wall.
I really like the cleats for the cabinets also. Just an easy off and on system. I am looking for a different shelving system for the garage. I've looked at suspended shelves, 2x4 systems, and now yours. I like yours because I can build the cabinets that will look just terrific in the garage. Well, back to the table saw for another project.
Thanks for the idea.
I think it’s great to see Your ideas whether planned or scattered
You seem to me to be doing what needs to be done to make Your way a little easier and when You see You need something You do it.
Kudos!!!
I enjoy random selection project ideas!
Thanks Joe
I am brand new to anything woodworking and about to turn 60. When I first saw your video about “French cuffs”, I thought this is about shirts..... ha! Everything is brand new to me. 😊 I am having so much fun. Watching this video is such an inspiration to me! I am planning my French cuff shelves now. Thank you SO MUCH! You rock!
How fortuitous, I was just trying to figure out a good way to attach some different size and style shelves I was given so that I could still change them around as needed yet make sure they were strong, level and secure, the French cleat is the perfect solution, Thank you, I painted them all the same color and added different elements to the ones with doors, like metal lathe and peg board for hooks, metal sheeting to use magnetic containers for my bits and bobs (found mine on eBay and Amazon, usually sold for spices) and white board for lists, reminders and notes, thanks again 💗
Starcat Catherine Hale awesome! Sounds great! But youre making me want to check out amazon now...and that’s a rabbit hole for me...lol😂👍🏻
Love how the three hats are the same color!
COMO EINSTEIN, ASI NO TIENE QUE PERDER TIEMPO EN ELEGIR...
Okay the four paint cans as shelf spacers is GEEEEENIUS
You did in one day what would have required me to do in a week ... or more. Nice job.
1:04 -- I hadn't previously seen that little jig for drilling pocket holes. Cute. Learned somethin' new.
BTW, very encouraging for Northerners to see someone walking around in shorts during February.
lol... don't worry it took more than a day to do... you can see the transition of shaved face, scruff, shaved, and then scruff ;)
and yes, this is a really wonderful time of year for us... but come July we'll be looking at you guys having great weather while we are indoors behind the AC vent looking out ;)
Didn't know about the pocket holes and French cleats. Very ingenious.
Gynocentrism Ergo MGTOW yes hey are pretty darn useful and easy to use...love them😀👍🏻
That's brilliant! Newbie but follow wood work stuff regularly. I don't think I've ever seen this technique before! Cool!
I don't think most people realize just how awesome those French Cleats really are, though anyone who's had to mount cabs to the wall the "old" way sure will. I ran into something similar with some Ikea cabs (not all Ikea cabs do this), where they have metal rails that mount to the wall. It saves a *lot* of hassle trying to get everything aligned, level, etc., when you're only holding up a lightweight rail to mount to the wall. Locating stud centers is a snap that way. Sure, you lose a small space behind the cabs, but it's well worth it IMO. I also like your use of the pocket screws. They make for a secure attachment that doesn't ruin the appearance. I'd criticize the lack of planning in not backing the cabs before mounting, but you clearly realize that was a mistake. Overall, great work, with intelligent adjustment to the plan as you went along, and well presented. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks Bruce! Yes, that was an oversight on the backing... was trying to not have to use another piece of plywood... and I had originally planned to direct mount them with no french cleats.
.. and yes, I really like the metal style ones that Ikea and some other places use... makes a lot of sense :)
I don't know that I'd even bother with plywood for that. A heavy cardboard, like Ikea uses, should suffice, possibly just tacked onto the back of the frame. I think the decision to use the cleats rather than direct mounting was a good one. Next time I need that sort of cabinetry, I think I'll just spend some time with my table saw and plywood rather than buying Ikea goods. You've inspired me!
Since you're familiar with the kreg jig, check out their fence/rail systems. The fence on my miter saw uses a wood fence with their top track, which multiple stops can be mounted to. I recessed their t-track into the top of the work surface and it holds the fence. When the fence isn't needed, loosen the fence and push it back out of the way or remove it completely. Nice work.
Huffster nice thanks! I’m gonna have to check it out😀👍🏻
All your hard work has paid off, Your shop is amazing.
Joseph Durkin thanks joseph😀👍🏻
Those came out great.. going to make myself a few..
Very tidy job on those shelves love that french bracket idea. They would look fab in the granny annexe mmm play house even lol.
Tracy Livingstone yes they would! I really like the functionality they give while kinda of looking like a decor feature too😀
I always like it when folks use pocket screws because it makes project seem more doing for my current skill level. My tools are limited so I am thinking that the home store can cut my plywood down to my desired shelf depth and the rest I can finish with my tools (and without a truck the smaller pieces are easier to move). Thanks for a great video and sharing.
Thomas Lindgren Both Lowe’s and Home Depot have lengths of 8, 10, 12, and 16 inch deep shelving planks which you can easily cut to length with a circular saw. Some of the planks even come with a white melamine finish, so all you would need is some iron-on edge banding, also at Lowe’s and Home Depot.
Thomas Lindgren thanks Thomas! Yes your home store will likely be able to rip the pieces..first 2-3 cuts are free and then they may charge..but I doubt it😀
Thomas Lindgren oh yes, and David made a good point about the precut shelving stock. It will be a bit more expensive but ready to go...however, just make sure to get solid wood and not the particle board stuff...it isn’t as strong. Would be fine for the shelving portions but I would use solid wood or plywood for the main structure of the unit😀
I totally agree with what steamboatal said! I love watching your work. I am constantly comparing yours & Rag & Bone Brown's work. I think he's pretty brilliant in most of his work, some,
not-so-much. Your's are all "genius"! But he does great wood finishing! I think sometimes it would be cool to see y'all work together and share your knowledge of how you make an artisans functional piece of ...furniture. Your combined talents would be worth a fortune! 😁👍
Teresa Plunkett thanks! I haven’t checked out his channel but will have too...is he located near me by chance? 😀
homesteadonomics no, he's somewhere in England I'm afraid 🙁 Also, he works strictly with wood, not nearly as multi-talented as you are. 😀
Great solution and video tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make.
Thanks for posting. These simple builds help us with the basics and give us a foundation to make our own modification.
Bill Allemon I hope they do😀👍🏻thanks for checking it out Bill!
Hello sir. Your job is well done. Sorry if my English is not good, but I am Belgian. I did the same job as you, but I closed the back of the cabinet entirely. I put a small shutter on the front and wheels. A ring on the top. Then I attached an electric winch to the ceiling which allows me to lower or mount my cabinet and use it as a toolbox on wheels. I hope you understand everything I wrote! HAHAHA
Very nice and simple way to do shop cabinets and they look very nice too
Thanks so much Uriel!
Beautiful like everything in that shop! You make it look so easy. Looking forward to the chicken coop and/or greenhouse update, but especially the camper build!
haha.. yes, the camper build is what I'm really looking forward too :)
Your shop just keeps looking better and better!
John Kelley thanks john! It’s getting closer and closer to what I’ve had in my mind for a while now😀
I love french cleats... especially the double cleat setup... Lotsa weight-carrying capacity & being able toslide them sideways can be very handy too !!
From the Emerald Isle
😎👍☘️🍺
A great video for recommending to some DIY workers. Simple yet elegant.
WAY too nice for a garage or shop. I'd rate this laundry room quality. No charge for the judgement! LOL, nice work.
French cleats. Never heard of them. Absolutely brilliant! Wish I'd known this method when I hung mine. Can't imagine a stronger method. Very well done sir.
elk hunter yes, pretty ingenious method for whoever originally thought of them! A lot of folks use them for an entire wall and then make a variety of things that can hang off of them...so they can move them around, etc...really cool concept😀
Great intro with the hats and superb use of space
Fuentes thanks!!👍🏻 🧢 🎩😀
That's how I did my kitchen. Solid 1x8 Spruce. No bottom cleat. No face framing. Quick and it works great. Easy access to everything all the time and you know where everything is. No cluttered cabinets to deal with. Cabinets suck.
Rocking the Ryobi BT3K! love it!
I thought I was the only one using the 'slight protruding screws' method... Glad to know it works for others too! 😅
you are the man that simple all your work is outstanding
den the bundy thanks so much 👍
Turned out great Joe. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
NvArchitect thank you NVA! 😀👍🏻
That looks really nice and functional... but that's how all your work is. I love your precision.
steamboatal thanks SB! I very much appreciate that😀👍🏻
Thanks for the vid! Sometimes “simple” projects are a great inspiration for an “I can do that too!” attitude.. easy and fast (unless you’re me 😅)& makes you feel like you accomplished something 👍. Love the sheet metal backing. And nice improvements on the saw table!
Big Sky at Night thanks Stef! Yes, simple and quick makes for a good feeling of getting stuff done😀
Joe to Joe........Nice looking shop Joe!
2.67 Acre Homestead thank you joe! joe😉👍🏻
Cool knife and sheath. Those shelves will be perfect for what you need...and I think you did right by adding another bank and putting them right next to one another.
Thanks Bruce! Yes, that extra bank gave me more storage and looked way better than the original plan too... a LOT of my projects end up changing mid way through :)
I'm going to build the shelving units tomorrow. The good thing about your design is I can remove the shelving units above the workbench when I need the room, and put them back again. The agreement with my wife is I can use the entire garage when I'm building furniture, I just need to have both cars in the garage at night. our house has a 10 foot bump out in the garage.
Great job on the shelves.. and the shave towards the end of the video! A new man!
Sean haha thanks! 🧔 to 💇♂️ to 👨
Cool. I was just looking at Skill Share and a wall picture came into view with all shelves. I just put in a 60"*16" side slide window in my tiny house and thought how to finish the wall. I chill out in a hammock near the window it'd be nice to have a coffee/tee mug shelf to put my beverage on.
I've done french cleats on other stuff in the past. So i did a search in YT and came across your channel.. how neat!
Sorry for the book.. 😂😂😂
You've added a great many storage areas that are not only useful, but pleasing to the eye. A good place to work in peace & harmony...nothing gonna bite ya from the walls or floor. Excellent lighting. Good projects will happen in your room! : )
J Jo thanks JJ! I’m enjoying this space a lot...I want it to be functional but also enjoyable to sit in, work in, contemplate , brainstorm,etc
Which is why I’ve kinda taken my time on this stage of the shop build😀👍
I'm a big fan of the dog system for stops.
I do like them a lot... on my other bench (in my garage) I've got stops/dawgs along the miter section :)
Joe, you make everything look simple to do, the mark of a craftsman. As always enjoyed the video.
UK Tony thank you Tony! I like simple and functional...unless I’m in a tinkering mode...then it’s contraptions and such😉👍
awesome work.. that knife sheath is very clean
Dack Bliamond Expeditions thanks! It’s been a great knife and sheath for many trips...hopefully it’ll find the axle project well...then I plan to build a new knife and sheath later in the year😀👍🏻
I LOVE the cleats idea!
Raoul Snyman Thanks! They are a really great way hanging heavy things😀
Just found your channel. Really liking the shipping container shop and all that’s going with it.
I am often against using pocket screws but it is usually because people use them to join everything. Your usage is ideal in the sense that you are essentially joining endgrain to edgegrain where a screw won’t hold in the edge of plywood very well.
My brother made a laminated top like yours using 2x4 and threaded rod. It is certainly a very very solid work surface and will be a very secure base for a vice.
Your miter station has the flip up similar to what I want to have on the one I still need to build so I can extend and support longer pieces outside my garage door.
Very nice craftsmanship and attention to detail. The video production and editing is top-notch. Pleasant pace, nice camera angles, superb commentary. Thanks.
700 700 thanks so much for the kind words 700700😀
excellent my man that was very infirmative and easy
Love the shelves & there's nothing wrong with unpainted pine shelves ... at least not in my house ... thanks for sharing
thanks! and yes, unpainted pine is great... I like the look too! .. was mostly referring to the pine plywood with open ply edges ;)
Next time you rip angled cuts on your table saw, put the fence on the other side of the blade since your blade tilts to the right. The way you did it in this video the wood can bind in between the fence and the blade and kick back pretty easily. I'm really not a huge safety preacher but I've personally had that happen to me
You make this look so easy.... no expensive clamps etc needed. I had to subscribe.
Very nice and now I need to build something like this for a shed I made last yea.
Thanks and blessings to you and your family,
Jim
thanks Jim! I think it would be a great addition to your shed :)
Great video....great teacher! Overall excellent job! :) Thanks for sharing and for all the time, effort and work you put into doing these videos for our benefit!
MM X3 thanks! And thanks for sleeping in a Fort for the benefit of many 😉😂 🧚🏻♂️
No thanks necessary. It was a fun adventure....and I always learn something new! :) "I am the student and learning is my game!" :)
Nice job. You gave me an idea on how to face frame my bookshelf that is also on a French cleet. It's enormous and intimidating but this gave me a little inspiration. Thanks again.
For stop blocks, you can use t-track similar to what he did on the make something channel. That way you don't lose any table surface
Hi the difficulty of choosing a 🧢 😂😂 I enjoy the process of building up to the final project.
Fadsad Mo lol...yes, which sweaty stained hat to choose from 😂
I like this video because I will be adding wall shelving above my recently built bench.
The French Cleat is a great idea. I am remodeling my Garage to include cabinets. I am going to by Stock Cabinets and hang them with French Cleats. Thanks for posting this very helpful video.
Hello Joe, this is exactly what I am looking for. DIY shelving, perfect fit.
Thank you for giving us your experience
Red Seh thx for checking it out RS😀👍🏻
Hey Joe,
Nice upper cabinet build. I can see the miter saw fence in my head right now. Can't wait to see the video.
lake bum thanks lake bum! 😀
Very good simple idea on letting the screws stick out a tiny bit to dig in and hold the edge ! Nice simple and clean build :- )
Nice shelves......love the hanging style.
You have just successfully,designed Your very OWN NICHE' !! SELL THE OUTFITTED PORTABLE STOARGE /SHOP ... JOBSIGHTSHOP.. EQUIPPED TO SUIT YOUR SPECS! THERE YA GO. RUN WITH IT.. I WANT ONE ALREADY!
Mark Atkinson haha...I guess so...but I’d have to charge a really high price to make it worth it....lol...I don’t know if my body could do another one of these😂
Nice job. I cut my cleats to fit inside the shelf so avoided that gap between the wall & cabinet.
Screw and Glue.. Love it
Shop is looking great Joe 👍🏻
Philip Colton thanks Philip! I’m liking the progress so far 😀
Nice shop clean nicely done very professional
Dear Incredible amazing you did it's 💝💝💝💝🖒🖒🖒🏘🏘🏚 excellent job
Absolutely love the way you did the shelves, keeping it simple!! Thanks Joe! Another GREAT video! 👍👍👍
Orange Rocket thanks so much! I really like the way they came out and will likely do some more just like these...but maybe with doors if they are closer to the dirty side of the shop😀
homesteadonomics , you are right about that joe, they would certainly collect quite a bit of dust.😤😄
I have yet to see another BT3000 table saw! Good stuff; going to French Cleat my entire shop soon, so gathering all the ideas I can.
I love the french cleats. Great video... I use a carbide circular saw to cut aluminum much easier than a grinder. I have cut 1/2" aluminum plate (5 feet long cuts) with a 18V makita circular saw with good quality carbide tip saw blade. This would not work with sheet steel since steel has a higher strength and work hardens!
I just built the same setup For a different application, So glad I found your channel, Thanks
Hmmm.....watching your video i saw a nice & neat technique you use on the plywood drawers that is very handy & simple,wow...the simple things in life we sometimes missed,lol thanks to you bro nice share,cheers.
Nature King thanks NK!!!
Thanks Joe.
Great video! Thank you! I loved how you didn’t use a clamp to hold the kreg jig. And I haven’t even finished watching the whole video but wanted to comment right away.
C Seager thanks! Lol...I just think it goes way faster that way. If I was using a harder wood I might but usually just a bit of pressure is all it takes...thanks for checking it out😀👍
Building my wife a shed right now for her wood working crafts. I like that idea cause we need to build some shelves, and great idea on mitre saw. Thank you for the share!!✌🏻✌🏻
my brother has some cabinets on the wall and he added a magnetic strip on the bottom to keep jars of screws or washers of projects he was working on.
Tony Banner I like that idea...I’ve got about a 1/2 inch space under these where I could conceal something like that😀
Very nice. Tough to beat plywood for strength.. I would consider adjustable shelves for versatility and ease of install. Keep up the good work
Neal Matson Thanks Neal! Yes plywood is pretty darn stout...and yes adjustable shelves would definitely as a bit of customization for things too. Thanks for checking it out😀👍🏻
Very raw, but i like it practical.
Would like to suggest making the shelving adjustable. Nothing more annoying when one finds things are 1/4" too tall to fit. Cheap pilasters and shelf clips or holes and support pins all easy to do.
My house is old ,...I'm sad..I admire you...wisdom man..
Gracias amigo, un saludo desde Chihuahua, México. Me a gustado tu proyecto, por ser sencillo de construir con herramientas sencillas que todo carpintero tiene en su casa y sobre todo que se pueden quitar y cambiar de lugar. He seguido tu tutorial y ya construí 10 módulos para mi carpintería y con la misma técnica modificar otros de acuerdo a tus necesidades. !Un abrazo desde México!
Your shop becomes a dream shop Joe, I like your design. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
Carsten Andersen thanks Carsten! It’s definitely getting closer to what I’ve envisioned over the last year or so😀
Good job. You make this kind of works looks easy to do. I have always the same doubt about shelves stability using that kind of fix, French cleats, it looks can fall in a moment!! In Spain nobody use them. Anyway is a good job, thanks for share!!
These shelves are awesome.. I'm going building them myselves
Job Laan thanks!
very technologically and beautifully, like
A. Vigor thanks AV😀
very good this year I have to change my whole workshop I'm going to steal the idea to fasten the furniture on the wall
Great job! You make it look so easy that perhaps even a newbie like me could do it. Thank you for sharing yet another awesome tutorial for another awesome project.
thanks Kimberly! Yes, you absolutely can do it! Just need a drill and the jig... and a saw (or get the person at the lumber store to rip the plywood for you :)
That system works very well and will hold for decades if you seal the wood before and after you put pices together.
Really looking forward to the camp trailer build!
suittsonmission thanks! That is the project I’m waiting for too...just got to get the funds okayed by the CEO 👩💼 (wife😉)
Very nice!
Jasmine Robinson thanks Jasmine! 😀
good job ( cant wait to see what you build next thanks
Your stuff is great! I had an idea to build a small camper from an old trailer, thats what brought me to your channel. Everything else you do is really cool and seemingly simple and done really well.
Forgot to tell you how great your video was.
You can cut the left side of cabinet a bit longer to hide the gap between the wall and shop shelves. Nice job. Congr.
Nice!! The moment I saw that hole jig used to screw the shelves together though blew my mind I never knew these existed!! Really cool saw table aswell. Awesome
I was just thinking about doing this at home and I came across your video. You made it look quite easy, thanks for sharing great job
Great use of narrow work area. Keep the videos coming👍🏻😃
Really nice 👍
