Thanks for the video!! Some great ideas in here as I'm about to make a cleat wall myself :). One small issue though as it scares the bejesus out of me watching it.... using gloves with a table saw... While it totally seems like the gloves would add more protection (even if they're "cut / knife resistant"), the issue is the teeth of the blade will grab the fabric and pull it into the spinning blade. Basically instead of protecting the hands from nicks, it's presenting a way for the blade to grab and pull your hand into it and keep it there (meaning you won't be able to pull your hand away as the cloth continues to get wrapped into the blade). The only way to save yourself at this point is to shut the saw off, and your hand(s) will have suffered tremendous damage. Hence please please pretty please, don't use gloves!! :) Also a pushstick is highly recommended for cuts with a width less than the width of your hand. Keep making great content!!!!
I was cringing BIGTIME watching that also!! That's definitely Rule #1 & is a MAJOR no-no around basically almost any kind of spinning/rotating tool or machine. It's just an accident waiting to happen in my opinion, that's for sure. Maybe on the next one, consider leaving out 95% of the gluing & the finger-spreading footage, as I'm pretty sure that we're all aware of how it's done...other than that, nice build!
Using gloves on a table saw is a bad idea. We had an accident I a company I have worked. A guy almost cuts his hand in half because he was using gloves on a table saw
Ive been doing it 20 years never had a problem you just have to pay attention..Im never going to stop wearing work gloves and Im certainly not taking em off for every cut
NEVER use gloves while working with rotating machinery. It's better to get cut or get wacked than getting pulled towards the machine by the gloves. Learnt that the hardway using a drill press, almost broke a couple of fingers.
@@matthewsynoradzki4656 i ve been doing it for a long time does not make it safe in my opinion. But hey what do i know..if you feel comfortabel doing it like that great. But many People watch these RUclips video's so it would be nice to see People doing it safe so others will too..
Looks very good, a great video. I have my cleats on the wall ready but still have other things to finish off such as a workbench. Cannot help indulging myself in ideas and inspiration from other people though. Thanks for sharing 👍👏👍👏
Hi, I used your video as a guide in my garage for "some" of my tools. I also used laser printed tool holders by Leverage Designs that fit into the battery slot of my tools (Ryobi) and laser printed clips that hold my batteries too. Screw the holders into a board and they hold the tool, hanging via the battery slot. I still needed cleat holders for my circular saws and misc tools though and it was a lot less complicated than creating the little pieces to hold a tool in place. Thanks for the ideas.
When the next to last was being placed, but fell on through, that is when I realized things like that really do happen to other people - not just me. I'm still laughing about it,. AS great video as well as the others. Keep up the quality build, it looks great.
Thank you! Most tools today are with a battery and even I convert to battery tools as much as possible but i still had some with cord and this was the best solution i could come up with. I think a pipe would have been even better, less friction.
If you hold shift on your keyboard and hit the arrow right key the video goes to 1.25 speed. If you do it again it goes to 1.5. Two more times and you're at double speed. That's where I ended up.
Just a reminder... Nails can turn and bite a finger occasionally... Never put any part of yourself in that zone of nail length. This is true of every size right up to 16d for framing houses.
Yes, most definitely...they can, will & DO make that u-turn that will turn around to get you...almost always when you aren't paying attention to if it could happen, that's when it does!! And ESPECIALLY 16d nails!!
Looks great. Well done. For gluing "A Glimpse inside" channel showed how to use PVA and CA glue (with accelerator) together when gluing and it saves the need for clamping when fixing screws or brads. I use it all the time and recommend you have a look if you get time. Awesome technique. Thanks for the top quality vid!
Thanks for the advice! Yes i have seen it being used many times and i will probably end up doing the same. But for now normal glue will have to do, i simply just don't have all the bells and whistles yet :)
I recently bought one of those adapters you put on a drill, maybe not what you are looking for but this fall/winter i will for sure make more holders, i still have a lot to hang up!
Great ideas!!!!! I just finished the cleats and ready for holders. By the way.... i winced when i saw you using the nail gun. I am VERY careful and last weekend i shot a nail into my ring finger. OUCH great ideas for holders Cheers
There is only 1 more outdoor video I will post and after that, I'm back inside and i will start with some more innovative french cleats designs. This winter will be some intense projects!
Great video, and excellent craftsmanship. Thank you for creating and sharing this. Q - what kind of nailer is that that you're using? I see the brand name "Rapid". Is that a 23-ga pin nailer?
For a guy that is so dexterous and precise with his wood working, your quite clumsy at putting your tool bits on the shelf! 😊 Just joking, I really love your videos; excellent demonstration of builds, ingenious ideas, beautifully shot and great humour. You have given my inspiration for my new workshop. Much appreciated.👍
Really like your channel but i also agree, i wouldnt recommended doing what you done here 19:00 but its up to you if you feel confident enough to pull wood from a moving saw.
'all my most important tools at arm's length' - you must have awfully long arms- that wall looks around 3 metres. I envy you having so much spare space- my small workshop is crammed. Such widely spaced tools and gaps are not possible for me- indeed I have to use the same space more than once. For example, I have a piece of wall that, when I am using my MFT for woodwork has the nearby wall cupboard double folded into the space, holding all my dogs, clamps, etc. When I am using my milling machine a board holding all my milling tools slides from the enclosure behind the mill into the space. If doing electronics, a unit swings down from the ceiling holding my scope, power supply, components, etc. Never needed together, so no conflict, and space used three times. And all actually within arms reach...
Pretty much any dimension would be acceptable as long as you have an area to run a screw through. As for the spacing, it really depends on what you plan on putting on it. If you're doing a wall to store lawn and garden tools, you don't need 6" spacing since the tools are large and will take up enough room that many of the cleats would be unusable. If you started with something like 12", then you could always add a cleat in the middle and reduce the spacing, if you find that it would be needed.
Snyggt gjort! Den smalare plywooden som du använder tillsammans med den tjocka som jag gissar är 18 mm, hur tjock är den? Mycket och många bra tips, tack! Dessutom roligt hur man hör direkt efter en mening av engelskan att du är svensk :) Vi har vår speciella engelska dialekt vi svenskar, hehe...
Good question! The distance need to be as minimum the total height on the cleats on the back of the toolholders. If it is less then you will not be able to hang the toolholder. There is no maximum distance, you can even just have 1 single cleat on the wall if you so wish.
25-35mm depending on how deep they would be without coming out on the other side. The nails are only used instead for clamps, the glue is what hold everything together.
great french cleat wall. but if i can give some advice. don't use gloves when working with the table saw. it's more dangerous on top of the already dangerous tablesaw.
I have seen more say this, do you mind explaining why it is dangerous? I'm nowhere near the blade and my gloves are very tight so there is no risk for them to fall of or catch the blade. I honestly want to know so I can avoid loosing fingers :)
@@DesireToInspire1 even with the lowest risk its very dangerous. when a tiny amount of fabric is catched, your whole hand/arm will get pulled into the blade very fast.
@@DesireToInspire1: WOW, hope it wasn’t too serious, but I was thinking in the early part of the video that your fingers were in the line of fire. They don’t always go where you intended!
What grade of plywood are you using? Do you find it just as good, it not better, to store some items, like hack saw blades in your tool chest. I find it too finicky to grab small things like that off the holder and try not to drop them.
It was the lowest kind of garde i could find, we call it construction plywood, very bad finish and thing layers, but with some sanding it look ss good. So far i have found no flaws with it. Do no not regret a single tool holder so far, it have made my workflow way faster then before. I know exactly where i have all my items now, so happy about them.
I will answer in English so all can understand :) Thanks for the nice comment! ♥ The cleat width are about 6 cm and the CC distance between the cleats are about 17 cm. I plan do do a in depth guide where i explain everything about the french cleat walls, maybe it will be my next video.
Nice job. But: never ever use gloves around a rotating tool - that is asking for disaster. From your tool-sets I deduct you are doing a lot of woodwork - which causes dust. For my wall I used vertical strips behind the cleats to allow dust to simply fall through.
A wide range of angles will do. If you're using narrow cleats, much more than 45 degrees will start compromising the amount of bearing surface. Much less than about 30 degrees and things might be a bit easier to knock off. You could even combine 45 degree wall cleats with 40 degree shelf cleats (though not the other way around) without destroying the universe completely.

I can't believe I saw you cutting wood with gloves on. This is a mortal sin in woodworking. You are destined to get your hand pulled into the saw blade. Please take them off.
I Believe you are referring to the blocks i use when mounting the cleats to the wall. They are used so that i get the same distance between each row without having to measure it every single time.
@@DesireToInspire1 I adding ask a very clear question. You often clamp some black, blocky small carpenter squares to pieces of plywood your attaching together to make sure they’re perfect right angles. I saw you use them often in your flip top build as well and they look like the perfect size for this case.
Funny how you would mention this! In the next video I made I did learn this the hard way, it's not included in the video but after 4:08 in this video ruclips.net/video/B9rq3WqwdC0/видео.html you can see how I suddenly have a small "dot" on my nail on the left thumb. The nail did bend in the wood and came out right into my thumb, about a cm deep, hurt like hell. The feeling was like when you hit your self with a hammer on the thumb but worse...
@@DesireToInspire1 i am no expert. Just a hobbyist who got his first ever nail gun...but they can injure out of the blue. Some woods can bend the nails and ebd up in not so desirable places 😅

Holding your finger or thumb near the expected path of your pin or nail isn't wise, either!
Using gloves on a table saw is a bad idea. We had an accident I a company I have worked. A guy almost cuts his hand in half because he was using gloves on a table saw
I was here to make a similar comment. Seems like an invitation for something very bad to happen
Ive been doing it 20 years never had a problem you just have to pay attention..Im never going to stop wearing work gloves and Im certainly not taking em off for every cut
Another problem is reaching over the blade on the completed cut. A kickback will pull his gloved hand right into the blade.
NEVER use gloves while working with rotating machinery. It's better to get cut or get wacked than getting pulled towards the machine by the gloves. Learnt that the hardway using a drill press, almost broke a couple of fingers.

Wouldn't it be better to stick with the 40 degrees than to have them not "twin" / mirror the wall cleat and the hanging cleat sides?

Hi, i notice you clue and clamps thing together, don't you use screw ? Or some you do and not?
I love the background music. Who is the artist please?
ah ha! this is what they do when its minus fifty outside. got it. greetings from palm desert. lol
40 degrees instead of 45? Hmm, I do that all the time. Usually it is 35 degrees when I ready wanted 30.
No plans on Etsy for this.
No sorry, the holders are so custom made for my tools that plans would be almost pointless to make for others.
Love this. Is that sheet vinyl or plank flooring on your bench top?
Top top
Very nicely done! Could I ask the dimensions of the cleats and what size spacing between cleats you used? Tack!

If you started with something like 12", then you could always add a cleat in the middle and reduce the spacing, if you find that it would be needed.
I'm curious to know why you didn't brad nail the cleats to the holders and relied on the glue to hold the weight of the tools?
Glue is insanely strong 💪 and is more than enough.

On the wall rails - does it mater the space between them or just you then build anything that's going to hang from them to that same gap?
Good question! The distance need to be as minimum the total height on the cleats on the back of the toolholders. If it is less then you will not be able to hang the toolholder. There is no maximum distance, you can even just have 1 single cleat on the wall if you so wish.

Dude! Jag är mållös. Detta löser alla problem som jag har funderat på.
Jag är helt förälskad i systemet! Har gjort fler hållare än jag har filmer på :D
New to woodworking here. Isn't it not advisable to wear gloves while operating some of these power tools?
Not at all as long as the gloves sit tight and have no loose threads that the tools can grip on to.
Might have just been the angle but your fingers seemed awfully close to where the brad nails were going
I now keep my fingers far away, i learned the hard way :)
