Nice video, I’ve been doing just the same with my clamps on a French cleat wall, same sort of clamp hangers, very efficient. Only difference is that I didn’t put my clamp hangers on backer boards, each of my clamp racks has its own French cleat so I’ve got more flexibility to move them around in the future. One suggestion about the video though, turn the music down! Appreciate you want something to fill the void that would otherwise be wood sawing, but the music got repetitive and was too loud. Cheers !
Nice ideas and Great video editing. Thank you for muting the audio during the fast forwards so we don't have to listen to the chipmunks in the background. Also, thank you for not making your fast forwards so fast. It was easy to follow.
Brilliant -- I love your approach and this is top quality end product. (I don't know why so many others put their clamps horizontally one deep -- basically taking up so much more real estate of their wall.) Thanks for sharing this!
Great video. Nicely done. For any others looking to build their own French cleat wall... using spacer blocks between cleats for fast and consistent installation helped me install my cleats quickly. (Of course, double check with a level to be sure!)
Like it. Struggled with how to hang my clamps. I've got 11 bar clamps, 4 are 3/4 inch and heavy....I know I'll have to divide them up but this looks like a nice way to do it and not sacrifice a lot of space. Thanks for the time and sharing!
Very nice job making the clamp racks. I do have one question though, when mounting the cleat to the back why do you mount it lower rather then flush at the top of the clamp rack?
Thanks. Nice job. I probably would have screwed the strips on the back wall. I'm always thinking about whether I might need to tear it down to move it, or for another idea later. Glueing and nailing would make that hard.
Nice job. You've taken bits and pieces of everything I've seen out there and made a nice, organized, simple, strong system that allows easy adjustment should your needs change. One question: I notice everyone is a fan of adding the plywood to the walls. My space already has drywall, so I see no need to put up plywood. Hit the studs with screws and run. Have you found any benefits to the wood backer other than aesthetics and higher impact durability?
Thank you! In my old shop I had put up 1/4” plywood for looks only. In our new shop we had just studs so we insulated and sheathed with 3/4” OSB. The one wall that has drywall we are also putting the OSB up which will provide a little more soundproofing.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I've been wanting to do this for several years and yours seemed to be one of the better looking and easier to put together ... so for that ... I thank you and became a subscriber today. Will be watching many more of your videos. Nat
I believe the cleats were about 4” tall, 48” wide, and the spacing was about 5-5.5” so that I had more than enough room to easily slide in the piece I was hanging.
As someone who has just put up his French Cleat wall himself, I enjoyed your video. Good job. What does it look like almost 2 years later....... I will look for more videos on your channel to answer my own question.
Awesome video, thanks so much for being thorough with the steps. Also, could you explain your logic for using PureBond plywood? Not familiar with plywoods.
Great job - liked & subscribed. I’ve just torn down my old French cleat wall as it was made from odd sized offcuts, and replaced it with equally sized and equally spaced French cleats. I’m definitely going to be making some of these clamp racks. Can I ask…. Is there a reason why you generally fix your French cleat hanger to the accessory a couple of inches down from the top? Aesthetics or does it work better? Cheers 😃
I’m glad you liked the video! I generally attach them a little lower just to keep the screws away from the top of the boards. Depending on the weight of what I’m hanging I may also add a second cleat towards the bottom as well so the load is carried by two cleats. Send some pics of the wall when it’s done!
I know this is a question to an old video ... but if you happen to read this, what is the spacing between the cleats on your cleat wall? Very nice on the racks and the cleats. ... Nat
I noticed you using the circular saw track system, how do you like that vs a table saw? I'm debating on getting a new table saw but I tend to do a lot more cuts like you were demonstrating. Any thoughts here?
D Y I prefer the table saw for those longer rip cuts. But when my SawStop brake went off during the middle of a flooring project, I was very happy to have the Makita track saw. I think the only thing that I’m not crazy about it getting everything out of the cases in order to use the track saw, whereas the table saw is pretty much ready to go at all times.
If you were I would you consider putting a coat of polyurethane varnish in the back board to make it easier to clean and prevent sawdust from sticking?
Richard Illingworth hey thanks for the question. I don’t think adding a coat of poly would make it that much easier to keep clean. The backer was already very smooth so it doesn’t catch too much dust.
Not sure if you've answered this, but I didn't see it in the comments.... What width are you cutting the cleats? Do the cleats have to be 3/4 or is 1/2 adequate? And what distance are you putting between the cleats? Thanks!
Hey Stuart, thanks for your question. I am cutting the cleats at about 3 1/2" and I used 3/4" plywood just because I knew that I would be hanging up some heavy clamps. Not sure if I would go down to 1/2" ply or not.
Can I ask what type of plywood you used on your walls? I just built my small shop and debating of to use Sheetrock or plywood. Like the look of your shop! And great video on this how to
I used 1/4” plywood which is 100% just for looks. There is not function to it at all. I’ve been thinking about pulling it off and going with 7/16” OSB so I can screw things to the wall easier.
@@TwoBitWoodworks thank you for prompt response. With you thinking about taking it down then I might go with OSB as well. Thoughts on sealing joints/seems ?
This is exactly what I want to do! I may have missed it in the video, but did you mention how deep the clamp racks are? What is the dimension of the top edge/top plate?
So perfect all of it. I like to try to get close of having half as many clamps but they sure look good now, all perfect, fine Video and up with the very best!
I know there is a thousand variations, but could you give me a ballpark figure on the dimensions for the angle brackets for the pipe clamp racks. Thank you
Does the piece at the bottom of the track saw guide to keep it perpendicular to the work come with the guide or is sold separately? If it is a separate item to be purchased, what is parts maker and piece called? Thanks for any response. Great video and need to make some storage to store clamps also.
How is the wall board dimension? what is the width of the narrow side and what is the width of the wider side? and what distances between the battens on the wall?
Love the video! What are the dimensions of the clamp rack pieces you made to assemble? I'm sure I will have to adjust mine to fit the cheap harbor freight clamps I have but it would help to get me started. I think I might try to make one for myself.
If your shop is generating a lot of dust, I would consider fixing that asap. In my experience, having my tools on easily accessible open racks saves a lot of time over having them tucked away in drawers.
I mostly hang my clamps on the wall and dust shouldn’t be a big issue in a well ventilated shop with good dust collection. Not sure if I have ever seen someone store clamps in a closed cabinet before.
Good job! Man, I'm jealous, new saw stop, new clamps, new everything it seems. I wish you all the best. Hey, check out John Heisz's slot wall storage. It is excellent. Rakkasan!
This might possibly be the dumbest question ever, but how did you locate the studs behind the plywood walls? My garage is the same but outside of the plywood seams, it's impossible to find the studs without at least some blank shots into the insulation.
Not a stupid question at all. Some stud finders will pick up the stud even through thin plywood. The sheathing on my walls is currently only 1/4” thick so the stud finder works. Before I put the plywood up I went around the room and put up a cheater strip at the top of the walls with the stud locations marked on it. Makes it a bit easier to locate a stud. Hope that helps.
How does the Bosh Glide miter work for you. Seems like a great idea to me but I have read a few bad reviews stating that the glide arm mechanism is not accurate from the front to the back of the cut - about 0.1 inch difference.
Wood Junkie I’ve had no issues with mine. The saw was a little off right out of the box but once I spent some time adjusting it there have been no issues at all.
I guess you don't need four brackets for two rows of F-clamps. Three would be enough if you faced the clamps into opposite directions. Just a suggestion...
@@TwoBitWoodworks Thank you for your reply. I watched a video of a guy setting his fence at 1 1/8 on a 3 inch strip. The cleats just seemed so small. I'm going to watch your video about times so I can get the courage to do this. Thank you so much for posting quality work that propels us newbies.

gute Sache 👋 👋 👋 JA, die French Cleat Wand haben ja schon viele, sieht sehr aufgeräumt aus. Vermutlich ist noch keiner von unten beim aufstehen an die aufgehängten Sachen gestossen, die dann auch aushängen und alles liegt wieder am Boden, oder am Kopf. 🙉 🙉 🙉
Seems like WAY overkill . Glue alone (remember glue is stronger than the wood) with a few brads would hold up those clamps . Although you did give me some good ideas for my tool cabinet . Thanks for posting.
I agree that it's overkill, but I didn't have a lot of clamps at the time and knew that I was going to upgrade eventually. They do tend to get heavy the more you have, and the plywood is only 1/4" thick sheets. If it was 3/4" plywood I definitely would have used only glue and brad nails. Thank you for watching!
Pure bond plywood has too many voids. It looks nice, but the voids make it weak for this kind of project. I used it for my French cleats and regret it.

After you ripped the 5" strips, what did you set your table saw at to make the 45 degree cut and have 2 identical cleats?
Just under 2.5" to allow for the kerf of the blade. They don't necessarily need to be perfectly equal so you can just eye it up.

Use a 2-foot piece of 1x4 as a spacer block and you won't have to keep futzing around with the level.
Thanks Scott if I ever decide to extend the wall out I will use that technique.
Or just make 2 spacers with a cleat on the back that hangs on the level above, only have to be a few inches wide. saves having to hold a 2-foot spacer each time..
Designer- Garb, if you work from the bottom up, gravity holds the spacer(s) in place.
great clamp racks (no music next time - please!!)
Mello Lello thanks for watching
What is that purple sheet you're cutting on?
Jim Gott that would be a sheet of foam insulation. I use it to keep the blade far away from the table.
What brand is the 90 degree quick reference that is connected to your track saw guide rail?
mike green hey bud that is the Insta-RailSquare Track Saw Square from ToolNut.
Two Bit Woodworks thank you. Sorry to bother I scrolled down and saw you answered already. Is it worth the $150.?
mike green there are a few out there. I purchased this one and I do not regret it.
Two Bit Woodworks thank you I appreciate the help. I just picked up the Makita track saw. Corded. It’s pretty awesome. Still need to hone it in a bit but thinking I’m gonna pull the trigger and buy the rail.
mike green awesome, good luck with it!
Please please please change the music to something that is not mindnumbing repetitive music. You have great videos with great content. People are turning down the sound to kill the music but the can't benefit from your great editorials.
PHINIUS1226 I’m working on changing up the music on my more recent ones.
Ótimo trabalho 👏👏 amigo ,gostaria de ter boas ferramentas como é mais acessível pra vocês aqui é muito caro.
This is a great how-to and you made everything very sturdy. Great meeting you at the New York Marker Faire this weekend. Subbed, we small channels have to stick together.
PhunKiss Artistic Creations thank you very much I had a blast doing this project. It was nice to meet you at Maker Faire as well.
Love this French clear system! This is giving me some great ideas for the Shop, thanks! New subscriber here
Melrose Design Company I appreciate the follow and I am very glad to hear that you like my wall. Send me some pics if you decide to use my wall as inspiration for your shop!
What is the link to the square you have on your guiderail in your video on 3:10 ?
I need to know what is it too :)
What’s the clearance between rack cleats
It’s about 4-4.5 inches in between.
Great video regarding concept and execution but please kill the repeating music loop...
David McCune thanks for watching!
Why wouldn't you start at the bottom then use spacers and lay the next cleat? Lot less fiddling with the level.
Dave Bear it’s really preference. I e seen it done different ways and I’ve even done it different way. This is just how I did this one.
@@TwoBitWoodworks still gave you a thumbs up.

Thank you for the support Raymond! Glad you stopped by.
gute Sache 👋 👋 👋
JA, die French Cleat Wand haben ja schon viele, sieht sehr aufgeräumt aus.
Vermutlich ist noch keiner von unten beim aufstehen an die aufgehängten Sachen gestossen,
die dann auch aushängen und alles liegt wieder am Boden, oder am Kopf. 🙉 🙉 🙉
Seems like WAY overkill . Glue alone (remember glue is stronger than the wood) with a few brads would hold up those clamps . Although you did give me some good ideas for my tool cabinet . Thanks for posting.
I agree that it's overkill, but I didn't have a lot of clamps at the time and knew that I was going to upgrade eventually. They do tend to get heavy the more you have, and the plywood is only 1/4" thick sheets. If it was 3/4" plywood I definitely would have used only glue and brad nails. Thank you for watching!
Pure bond plywood has too many voids. It looks nice, but the voids make it weak for this kind of project. I used it for my French cleats and regret it.
Good to know. I have not had any issues with weakness yet so maybe I got the rate “good” pieces!
great work,liked and subscribed
mike nicholas much appreciated!
Watching you use the brad-nailer while holding the wood bracket in place makes me cringe waiting for a brad to go sideways and bring blood.
David Vizard Performance yeah me too. Luckily nothing went wrong when I was doing it live.
