French cleats that lock in place woodworking project

- Creative idea for french cleats for tool storage and organization for your woodworking tools. A simple project DIY shop made locking mechanism will keep your cleats in place and help you get organized.
I made the cleats in the video with 5mm plywood which might be a little thin but I don’t think you’ll need more than ¼”. Unless you are hanging your table saw on the wall ¾” cleats are probably overkill. Having the tool bracket extend both above and below the cleat will make it even more stable.

A few cleat ideas ruclips.net/video/SiDYhnGTW90/видео.htmlsi=dC7bCAlaBx86yE7l
Use 3/4 cleats and you won’t have 1/10 the problems. You have less than 1/4 of area for the cleat to grab
For what I'm hanging ¼" plywood is fine. Most of my big stuff is in a drawer or cabinet.

Very nice cabinet you made. I like the double layer. As far as the French cleats go, you should see "At a Glimpse" channel on how he makes his French cleats. As far I am concerned, he's the king of FCS. Those that you made with the shim blocks on either side maybe good for very lite weight items like screw drivers, but I would never use that size to hold a powertool on. The edge is going to become brittle over time, and splinter off. I wouldn't go any smaller than 1/4"-6mm or 3/8-8.6mm. I use this method so they are easily movable if I want to add more items. I've also hung cabinets with them but I used 5/8" plywood. To hang them on. I would have used 3/4", but at the time, my supplier was out.
I'll check out the channel. Thanks.
Total infomercial in the beginning.😂
Identify the problem, propose a solution.
Pretty clever idea, and I really enjoyed the new video format 👍
Thanks. My producer said the less I talk the better the videos are.
Very cool out of the box thinking. Thnx.
Thank you
Ciao. Interessandi, ma lo spesdore delle french cleat che hai tagliato sono molto sottivi. Per contenere un certo peso di alcuni utensili il minimo dovrebbe essere tra 15 e 18 mm. Difatti le mie sono 28mm tengo anche utensili pesanti. È un sonsiglio. La chiusura block é una idea ottima. Saluti. Modesto
Why do you not put simple embedded rotating inserts on the lower side of the cleat, so that you are still able to fix heavy things on it ?
That might work.
How wide is the spacing cleat? Also I thought the other video showed the tool holders cut at a different angle? Please advise. Thank you!
nobody but nobody addresses the issue of shop dust covering your cleat items. Cabinets with sliding doors will solve the problem. Door panels could be lexan for visibility. Your thoughts
That is why I built this cabinet.

Cool! Have you tried hanging anything heavy on those thin cleats?
Not yet! But keep in mind plywood is the strongest thing in the world.
@@HouseDoctorRay Second only to a woodworks "mansmell"!
My entire workshop is made out of French cleats(all the shelves and even my workstation) - it s very strong, can hold my weight easily.
That's 3/16 material and I would not recommend using such thin material. There's a reason nobody else does
Yes it was 5mm Luan. I'm stepping it up to 1/4" for my cabinet. For me 3/4" is overkill.
Very good ideea !
Thank you.
French cleat is made for NOT having to insert anything from the side. And your idea is an idea, but not as a french cleat at all. And you will not be able to put any heavy thing on it.
😢
@@HouseDoctorRay Sorry if i have been rude, not my intention. your idea is interesting, but not with this thickness.
I abandoned that Idea and went with standard cleats. I did use 1/4" plywood and it works fine with the tools I have put on them.

@@HouseDoctorRay juste saw your video. Yes, for chisel and so on, it totally deserve it 👍
Wow those are thin!
5mm Luan. When I do my cabinet I'm going to us 1/4".
I've always thought 3/4" cleats was overkill.

Whats the model of your table saw you used ?
DWE7480
It came with a rolling stand (DW7440RS). All of the DW job site saws are similar and rated well. Mine can't take a dado blade but some can.
If you're thinking about a rolling stand check out the Harbor Freight stand, lots of good reviews.
thanks for the quick reply have safe and Happy New Year.

Nice concept but you failed miserably by starting your first cut without a 90° edge!
There is a lot of sense in filtering water to wash your car. Hell i would use deionized water if i could
You're probably right. I almost never wash the cars.
That is ridiculous. That isn't "easy to remove". At least you could put a dowel in those stoppers.
I've never seen someone with a table saw plus saw fence who manages to screw every single cut. 🤦♀
You could've used a dull hand saw and won't see a difference - that might have avoided sharp edges, though...
😢
Not only it's a terrible idea, but the work quality is absolutely appalling. I conclude this is just a troll.
I think ill pass
😢
I’ll swerve that one … far too much messing around for me…. Don’t have the time.
Wie sinnlos ist das unglaublich
Stopped watching as soon as I saw that you couldn't even cut a straight rip on your saw. WTF
😢
No narration. Waste of time watching
😢
PLEASE edit for length. We do not need to see every cut. Otherwise a great instructional video.
or you can fast forward 😂
I am glad he did not edit for length. I wanted to see every cut. You’re welcome.
Or you can have your own channel and do what the F you want and shut the F up with someone else’s content 🤡.
Bro who taught you to run stock through tablesaw
It came out straight enough.
