    Commonsense woodworking simplifies the project. Emulating fine Japanese joinery for shop furniture, while it is impressive and designed to last forever, may not be too practical. I appreciate your focus in getting to the point but, what I admire most, is your ability to work off the floor. No groaning or wincing in pain. Very good show!

    The color of your shirt and the gray of the wall work very well together, plus there is a kind of visual joke in the creation of a large French cleat wall culminating in the mounting of a single, relatively small, chisel holder. At least, that's my guess.

    Wow, really interesting workbench design - the Donald Judd of workbenches. Instead of all that routing I guess you could angle cut strips then squares of MDF and use a spacer to assemble them.

      @@bigskymakerDon’t worry about it. A smart shop owner picks up all the supplies they can when they hit a good price point, buys in bulk, buys out other shops when they closes and amasses materials at pennies on the dollar. I recently put up 120 lf of shelving and filled it up in a couple hours. Storage is good, gives stuff a home and makes you ready to take on what comes your way. I hate going to the store, why buy new when I can pick up where someone else left off for short money. I’m on my 9th shop; we have a funny way of filling the space we have.

    Very nice. I did a long shelf in my old garage many years ago with 3/4" construction plywood. I wanted to place it as high as possible but had to readjust a few times to get it up. It was very heavy and had to have a friend help me. Stood on the washer and dryer to get it done. I don't remember how long it was but more than 6 ft and maybe less than 8 ft. One of the problem I had was that they ceiling was a bit low (not high enough to stand up a sheet of Plywood). French Clete made it easy and strong as heck.

It's tintable if staining, sands like a wet dream, and doesn't shrink or crack. It's a 3 in 1 wood filler grain filler and sealer. No I don't work for dap, I'm just really happy with their product. Especially after training under a guy that used spackle for absolutely everything even after it didn't last.
