    I was looking for a slatwall design for the doors on a home-built a storage locker and yours looks easy to build, thanks for sharing!
    One thought on the hardware bins - you might consider adding an angled strip (ramp) behind the lip at each bin to make it easier to remove fasteners by hand.

  • @plunder1956
    @plunder1956 7 лет назад

    A lovely, reconfigurable way to store and access your tools. Much more practical than my scrap plywood shadow board in the metal shop in Sheffield. However, just a small idea here: If the screw bins at the base were Loose sliding boxes, that you can just pop out for use, or move to a new position in the stack; it might aid work-flow. However perhaps you want to prevent them ending up all over the shop as before . As always, every idea can also compromise another requirement.

    Hi John, Thanks for sharing this genius design and for all the quality content you provide for the woodworking community. You've taken the slatboard concept to a new level. The solution for preventing dust build-up is a great addition for solving that testy problem. I look forward to seeing it loaded with tools!

    I'm diggin' it John! "Super Tips" should be the name for all the helpful ideas You used; like 2 drywall screws to hold the plywood up temporarily b4 mounting, dipping the edge of plywood in glue, and spacing the bins shaped like a" U"... and so on! U Rock! When I grow up..... I wanna be JUST LIKE YOU!!! LOL..Have A Super Blessed Week! .....Gus (aka TheWoodWerker).

    Hey John!
    As always, you have good ideas and present them clearly. I need something like this ( but not as big) in my little workspace, so I plan to build it soon. Now, here's an idea for one of your concise videos or perhaps a blog entry on your site: LIST the most common screws, nails and fasteners you often use. I think it could save your viewers many trips to the hardware store and hours of aggravation to know what hardware items you think are most valuable to keep in stock at all times.
    Thanks again for the great videos. I look forward to seeing your tool wall filled and hope to see how it improves your efficiency. My shop ALWAYS looks like yours at the beginning of the video, so I could use some inspiration!

  • @neelode
    @neelode 9 лет назад

    John, it's an interesting project, and I am currently doing the same thing, for much the same reason(s) - can't find the tool, cluttered work-bench, too much stuff on a shelf or in a drawer, etc.
    The thing is that I am building a French Cleat system, and, while it is only partly completed, I am already finding it useful, especially as I have attached a removable mini-system to my workbench to hold the tools, both hand and power, as well as the supplies that I am using, or going to use, for any particular project.
    I sit down ahead of time with a cuppa and make a list of what I think I'll need, and preload the mini-system with the tools: router(s), sander, measuring and marking instruments,etc. etc. etc. This includes all the material that I need.
    Then when I set to work I have just about everything right at my finget-tips. When I need a tool it's right there. When I put it down for whatever reason, it goes back into it's holder - NOT onto the bench-top. I find it an incredibly useful way to work.
    In looking at your slat-wall system, I just don't see any way you could usefully do the same thing. With the slat-wall you have to either partk the tool somewhere eise,or shuffle tools off the board to get the one you want, and then shuffle the removed tools back, and, of course, to the reverse to put things away.

    It looks like you can only access the slots from the left? Does the window trim block the right side?
