- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- My current Hammer rack prohibits things above it so the hammers can be removed. I am not a fan any longer and want to find a better way. So I designed a new rack based on balance making the hammers easy to put on and take off in a natural motion. This is a EASY build for any beginner on up!

Attention! The skinny piece dimensions show .75in when it should be 1.5in (38mm) sorry!
There's a million woodworking channels out there. I'm amazed you decided to start a new one. I'm amazed how your's still manages to differentiate from the others, especially by focusing on making things easy to build. I get eternally frustrated by channels that build little things using tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment - who has that! I'm so glad the search algorithm pointed me to you! I wish you all the best with this adventure.
Thanks very much! Yea hard to be different out there but I try!
Justin, your channel may be just a month old, but it's already one of my very favorite woodworking channels. You are a natural teacher, and your in-depth explanations of your approach/technique and the rationale behind it all are superb. You don't waste words, but provide just the right amount of explanation, almost anticipating your audience's questions. Ah, and you acknowledge your mistakes and use them as learning/teaching opportunities. We can all relate to the mistake you made in this design, I assure you! It is also great that you provide the dimensions - visually laid out on a table for us - and in both imperial and metric. Simply outstanding.
I also greatly appreciated your safety lesson on the table saw in another of your recent videos.
Thanks Duncan! Really appreciate that. Thank you.
This is what I was looking for. great design and easy to build. Thanks.
Glad I could help
I've done a few iterations my own hammer rack design before, but needing to make a new one for my newest shop and procrastinating because I've been frustrated by exactly the reasons you mention, this video came at the exact right time, because you did it! This is the best hammer rack design ever! I will definitely be making a version of your design soon.
Well build it and tell me if you think so then! I do like it though thanks Joel!
I'm about to build my own version of your Hammer rack with some tweaks of my own. But taking all of my inspiration from yours, so I will give you credit when I post the video.
thanks
I just really wanna thank you for also bringing up the metric measurements, so many times I just gotta use the ideas, but have "no" idea for the sizes and just make it so it works in metric instead 👍👍👍
You’re welcome! I know 95% of the world uses metric so it just makes sense to put it out there for everybody else. Hopefully I get it right. Should I bother with the small decimals when I do it? Like saying 19.05 mm Should I just say 19?
@@BitnerBuilt The small decimals are so miniscule that just saying 19mm or 19,5mm will be more than enough.
Thank you for the good videos and keep up the good work.
Agreed, only 3 countries use imperial and two of those are not exactly major world players. Great to see mm dimensions. To the nearest mm is fine
Hi Justin, greetings from the UK. Having stolen your idea, I have just finished making this, and it works like a dream, no more struggling to get my hammers out, they are all set to go!!!! keep up your great work 😉
Oh fantastic! Glad you like the design!
I love the way you lay out the pieces and dimensions. It means your videos are just so more relevant and useful. Recent subscriber here but loving what you are doing. Thanks!
Thanks Andy!
I have lots of hammers, so your idea will be very useful 👏👏😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!
You are a fabulous teacher; keep these organizers coming!
Thank you very much! I love to organize so will do!
I appreciate you actually show you building it with measurements and your thinking of why you did your design that way. Much better than others who just do a quick timelapse. Boom before after done project good luck actually following this if you want to try it.
Thanks raptorator!
THank you for taking the time to explain all the details. This grab and go holder is perfect!
Thanks very much!
Great idea
Thank you! Cheers!
Made this for my French cleat wall, can’t tell you how much I like this compared to other models. Great design.
SWEET! Can't tell you how much I am glad to hear that. Coming up with a new design is rough and stressful hoping others will like it too! (I really love it as well)
Justin, your cruzin’ along - almost at 6k. Nice job! I’m seeing more than innovation in your design thought, but also content. The inclusion of measurements is not ‘usual and customary’ from others. Providing measurements demonstrates those who truly want to develop and grow knowledge of a beginner and those who want to be compensated for their knowledge since they’re the “teacher”. IMHO, RUclips was partially developed as a way to share knowledge. Greed transformed it into a multiple stream of revenue vehicle for those who demonstrate the most basic product, in this case, a category of French cleat tool holder, that others link to a $5 or $10 set of “plans”. I’ll be using the your updated thought in my ongoing renovation. Thanks.
Thanks Tony! Appreciate it! Yeah, I definitely want to make sure that I am giving the beginner a comprehensive product, that’s why my videos run so long to, I just can’t seem to edit them down to 10 minutes, which is what they recommend the length be, and still give enough information.
I'm sure there are lots of "experts" out there who tell you 10 minutes is "prime" length. I would check out Steve Ramsey @ Woodworking for Mere Mortals last video which is a look-back at his 15 years and what he's learned. He's similar to you, being relatable and with over 1.9 million subs, he's gained some obvious insight. He goes over some algorithm myths and what has been successful for him. Take a look, I'm sure you've seen him before. Seems, like you, to be a guy you'd want to be your neighbor. Oh, I just put in an offer to buy the house next door - LOL. Can't stand all this nice 72* weather and 10 minute walk to the beach here in Orange County CA.
@@TonyV_in_the_OC haha yea do it! That place sounds just awful! Oh yea steve has great videos. I'll go check that one out. The channels still so new ill be trying lots of different things. can't please everyone either, had a email last night saying he loved the project and my videos but making this one almost 30min was just way too long. then another person thanking me for being so in-depth lol sooo 🧐 🤯😵💫
Love that design. Like you my hammers are placed in a holder with holes for the handles, but this is such a better idea.
Thanks! Yea I like the design a lot!
Added a strip across the bottom and drilled holes in it for a nail set holder and optimized distance for small crow bar - LOVE IT. Thank you!
Very cool! Glad you like it!
Just found your channel and love it. You are a natural in front off the camera, explain in an easy to follow way and you have great ideas. It's like watching a quality PBS show
Thanks Jens!
I love the way you walk thru the project. ease keep it going.
Thanks, will do!
Used this hammer idea to add many more tools to my wall. I stood them out off the wall by about 8” which meant I could stack other tools underneath them to give a 3d effect.
Very cool! Shoot me a pic I would love to see! Justin@bitnerbuilt.com
Great idea! I also am trying to stack tools underneath tools, to maximise storage.
Excellent idea! I've got a number of hammers, mallets and so forth. As you say, the easy option is rather greedy on space. I'm in a single garage, up until now, I've been using old drawer units from here, there, and everywhere to keep my tools roughly organised, and protected from humidity, Alas, the problem with this solution, is the inability to find items you use on a regular basis. Now that I have my workspace properly insulated, I'm hoping that condensation should be minimised, and that my daily use tools will not be as exposed to moisture.
Your space saving hammer home, is a great solution. It is refreshing to see woodworkers on RUclips admitting to not being perfect. I make mistakes all the time, and it is good to know that I'm not alone.
A big thank you from Scotland.
👍
Oh the humidity in Scotland’s a tough hurdle for you in sure, my sister in law is from Scotland so I hear of the never ending rain! Thanks for the feedback and appreciate it ✌️
Always a pet peeve of mine seeing hammer holders that you had to get the handle out. If it is down low at waist height then it’s fine and holds a lot of hammers. A board with slots for the necks works great as long as the heads are wide enough to hold them securely. I love how much mass this holder has. Hammers can bump it on way in and out and are unlikely to disturb anything.
Leaning them a little is something I did but only for one of my hammer holders. For my favorite assembly hammers, rubber Estwing, I made a sideways hook style. The third holder holds engineers hammers, Gedore Rotband, and they are straight up and down in slots. The one I leaned was for framing hammers where the handles were super long and hung very low. Then I have a bunch of hard plastic mallets that lay around without a home. Stanley 57-594 and 57-595 because Mr. Spagnolo uses them. I can’t help myself.
Nice! Yea he's beefy so should be fairly stable!
Dude you're awesome! Your videos inspired me to make my own French cleat wall a couple weeks ago and now it's completed . I only wish I could share some photos with you to show you
That’s great! Shoot me an email justin@bitnerbuilt.com
Love mine. Thanks for the great idea!!
Turned an old rickety bookshelf into something useful.
Oh great! Good to hear!
Love the video and the content!! This convinced me (along with your other videos) to make a FC Wall in my small shop. I'm learning and this looks like the best way to learn and have my organization "grow with me" as I acquire new tools and needs change! I would LOVE to see some more details on that Socket and Wrench Holder you have there to the right!! Great stuff!
Thanks Patrick! FC isn't perfect but it is easy to customize and can look very nice too! So that socket and wrench holder I just remade right before starting the channel, all in the cnc but it has a few flaws so i'm sure I will remake it again soon lol I literally engraved each socket dimension in front of each holder so you know where it goes
Sorry I'm m late to the party. I just found this channel and I'm digging it. I get some major TEACHER vibes from you. Tell me I'm wrong! Either that or infomercial host.
Haha well prefer teacher (my wife’s one)
You do a really good job teaching this. Taking your time of not just what to do or not to do, but why. Very cool hammer holder! Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
I am so happy I found this.
I have been trying to figure out french cleats for 2 years and finally gave up. Until now.
I
Oh, that’s awesome happy I was able to help!
Super-detailed walk through for beginners. I’ve just put my own french cleat wall up and this will be perfect for my hammers.
And dimensions in mm as well as inches 👍
Thanks! Yes I always do mm as well in my builds as a majority of the world does mm 😀👍
I just added this to my "Build Next" list~! I like this design much better than its predecessor. Thanks for the video~!
Nice! Yea I like the open’ness of it, can just naturally grab and go etc
kudos on the build, double kudos on the bane impression
“ no one cared who I was till I put on the mask” 🤣
@@BitnerBuilt You think upgrading out dated toolholders is your ally? You merely adopted the cramped space. I was born in it, molded by it. I haven't seen an organised tool wall until I lost half my tools in overstacked piles of boxes.
@@petrsidlo7614 🤣
@@BitnerBuilt I've been thinking lately about redoing my mallet storage (which is an unnecessarily long board with a couple of dowels) and your approach seem the best for actual ease of use when taking the hammers out. Are you happy with it so far? I am mainly curious about the angle? Is fine or should I choose something else? I also considered making the same thing, but instead of gluing the slots just driling a set of 24 mm holes slightly off center of the board so that part of the drill bit would create a slot, then sawing the rest of the slot for the handle, wonder how that will turn out.
I actually really like it still 4 mo later. no issues and very convenient to grab I would stick with the same degree since I have no issues but dry fit test your hammers first. hey always worth a try, seems like it would be more work though@@petrsidlo7614
I'm going to just go ahead and make this immediately.. same hammer situation as you had, I needed a solution.
Awesome let me know how you like it!
It looks great the hammers look great on it
Thanks! I honestly like it a lot, easy access
I still find your channel very good and will keep on using as you provide useful information and good ideas to work from.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for this video, it is a great way to store hammers with less demand for wall space above. I am also constantly thinking of ways to elevate holders on my French Cleat system from the wall, so I can maximise storage by adding tools above, below, and even behind other tools. My workshop walls are 8ft x 8ft, and include a window, a pitched roof, and (obviously) a door. So I need to maximise every inch of wall. At the moment my hammers are in a tool box stacked under 4 other tool boxes, So I am due to work on a hammer rack soon. I think your design is the best one for space saving I have seen. I will probably leave out the spacers though, so I can cram in more tools onto the rack.
Oh cool! Yea when you’re in a tight space you need to max all of that storage!
Thanks for the video. I've been mulling over some ideas to better organize my hammers. I'm definitely going to take your design into consideration.
Awesome Jay thanks!
Great work love that you give the metric measurements as well thank you ❤
You’re welcome 😊
This is brilliant and I have been needing a good hammer holder. This is my project for today!
Thanks! Have fun building!
What a great idea. I had started a holder for mine, but quit since it was quickly becoming harder to use. I wish that I only had 8 hammers to mount, but quickly figured out that I could easily make this one double-decker to hold the others since I wouldn't need to pull them out the top. Again, great idea and great video (but you do need to get more sleep) - Chris
Thanks Chris, yes sleeeeepppp….
I love this design for the hammers! I'm going to make one for my shop soonest.
Great, yea I love it too. Please note the pinned comment in the video, it shows one of the dimensions incorrectly (can’t change it after posting )
I like this idea. I think I will make mine with 2 tiers, staggered. Large hammers on the top row and small hammers on the lower row.
Oh very cool great idea on the two tiered
So where this is most useful is the super efficient shop that focuses on eliminating even small steps like opening doors and drawers. It’s convenient regardless though
Thanks Jesse!
Just found your channel and love it! I am watching all your videos for this series. You are a great teacher...thank you.
Oh cool thanks very much!
Great design and build walkthrough, will be constructing mine soon. BTW there's room on the underside of the rack to add a shelf of ports for punch and chisel bits.
Yes definitely I have had a few people send me pics of additional storage ideas underneath!
Great design, built it last week. Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear!
Wow. Big idea and thank you very much from Germany for the metric figures :-)
All the best to you.
Thanks! Yes, I always try to put metric on my projects for the 95% of the world that’s not on freedom units 😅
Good point I’m actually thinking about making the cleat system for storage in my garage, but I was thinking more of the keyhole holder for my hammers and mallets. kind of like your chisel rack.
Go for it!
Original and unique 🙂❤
Thank You!
Well thought-out design. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! Very welcome!
Good Job, I like your design.
Thanks David!
Question … why not screw the “skinny” piece from the front .. before installing the handle support straps? This would eliminate drilling all the way through the skinny piece. And yet hide the crew heads.
Sure as long as you have it marked out where the front spacers are going to be to ensure they will be hidden. You don’t see those screws in the end as they are facing the wall but your way is more hidden 👍
Great idea and great video as usual
Thanks Jim!
I think I'd put on boiled linseed oil. Cheap, non-toxic, and easy to apply. Just make VERY sure you dry out the rags on a safe surface before throwing them away so they don't catch fire (but this goes for all rags used with finishes).
I really like how boiled linseed oil looks but yeah, that whole fire thing really gets me so I rarely ever use it. My shops attached to the house soooo
Thank you - exactly what I was looking for (as the improvement on the common two rail system). Also, "a hair under 1 inch - 15/16". That would be 25mm. You're welcome! 😉
Haha thanks hope you like it!
@@BitnerBuilt LOL. Might I also observe that the 19mm stand-off piece in the cut-list doesn't look right and is not the same as your construction - way too shallow. I have half a dozen hammers of very diverse sizes and shapes, including skinny welding hammer and a fat rubber mallet and I reckon I'll need to use about 65mm at least to accommodate them. It's a bit tricky, but I'm making progress. Thanks for your design.
Yes, a hair under 1" (25.4mm) could be said to be 25mm, but 15/16 is actually 23.8mm, although that's too precise, so I'd say 24mm.
@@PJRayment Perhaps you're right. To me a hair is less though, so perhaps it should have been 31/32 instead of 15/16, which I believe is closer to a smidge.
@@jonathanm9436 Haha! Very precise workshop lingo. I like it.
Just a note for you at 11:55. You talk about how the piece will want to slide around with glue on it. If you have pre-drilled into the lower piece I like to drive the screws into the top piece until they protrude about a 1/8 of an inch. Then you have what I refer to as locator pins to help stabilize the piece while clamping. I use this little trick a lot.
Oh nice! Very good tip!
showing metric sizes, gets my sub!
Always on this channel!
hi justin. just wanted to say, great videos. loving this channel, your cadence and how you explain. i feel like its gonna be a long running successful channel. keep up the good work. wanted to say, im ew to woodworking but re-building my dads old shop. all old goes out and pretty much everything is brand new from insulation to dust collection and tools. now im building this hammer holder. should be done today if i get home early enough. My dad is very old school and isnt a fan of youtube stuff lol but im sure hes gonna love this when its odne. im keeping it a surprise. hes always looking for his hammers around the shop so this will be huge.
Thank you very much, oh that’s awesome. Let me know if he likes it. I’m sure he will! Have fun, remaking the shop!
ill definitely keep you posted. ill be honest i cant wait to finish so i can do wat i actually am meaning to with the shop which is the epoxy charcuterie type stuff lol.Dont know how but i would share pics of the hammer rack if you wanted. just tell me where @@BitnerBuilt

Oh the league of shadows will rear its head again!

Hahah great let me know how you like it
Great channel, Justin! I'm a subscriber from Chile and I'm in the process of setting up my workshop. Your advice and tips are awesome. I wanted to discuss the issue of sawdust protection, as it's a big concern for me since I discovered that I am allergic to it. I have to keep the respirator on my face for extended periods of time while I'm inside the shop. I take breaks and activate an air filter from time to time. If you don't have a dedicated sander with dust extraction, I would suggest keeping your respirator on because the micro-fine particles remain suspended in the air for a long time before settling down. I've actually moved all the sawdust-generating activities not connected to my (Gyro Air G-700) dust processor, such as sanding and even the chop saw, outside the shop to open space, because It's difficult to connect them to an efficient dust extraction system. I understand that in some places, this may not be possible. Luckily, I live in a place where the weather conditions are not extreme in any season, especially winter. You have a natural gift for conveying your knowledge in a concise and easily understandable way. Many thanks for that, and keep up the good work!.. Giorgio
Thanks Giorgio! Appreciate that! Yeah, I’m actually pretty allergic to sawdust myself. I’ve been in the process of deciding on a new higher end System for my shop. Unfortunately for me, I do live in one of those crazy climate areas where half of the year it’s pretty cold and snowy so everything has to fit in my space, but lucky you and very cool to have a watcher from Chile!
Cool ideas. Thank you.
Thanks!
This looks great. Hope you don’t mind but I’m definitely stealing this idea.
Have fun with it, I like it quite a bit!
@@BitnerBuilt thanks. I’ve just ordered a workbench that won’t let me pull the hammer up. This design is exactly what i need.
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Nice design. One thing that jumps out at me is the chisels placed above the T-handle hex wrenches. I'd switch the chisels and the wrenches so that you're not pulling the T-handles up towards the sharp chisels, risking cutting your hand.
Sure, a good point! The t handles do slide forward, I built it, always take the caddy off instead of doing it in place, but you are totally right!
@@BitnerBuilt This is the joy of a French Cleat system: Easily adjustable!
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Can't wait to see how this plays out, but something occurred to me at the beginning of this video. I can't quite see the design of your old hammer storage, but couldn't you have cut a few notches in the front rail after adding a front to back support and mayday keyhole door for the handles?
Not on that old design but sure you can make big C’s that come out to individually hold a hammer this was an attempt at a whole new design (if making look at the description I had an error in my posted cut sheet)
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
nice job. thanks. I'm new to wood working and watching a lot of you tube video's and my question is i have a shed with no insulation in the walls and i have notched that everybody with the French cleat system has plywood on the wall first, is this something i need to do first or can i do the French cleat system without the plywood? please let me know, thanks. you make everything simple and for someone new, thanks for going slow.
Thanks Bob! You technically can do it without a sheet of plywood there however, I would definitely recommend putting it there to prevent several issues. You don’t have to use three-quarter inch plywood either you could use half inch. Are you gonna try doing a shop out of the shed or you’re just looking to do French cleat tool holders in there?
@@BitnerBuilt
I have found that using the larger drill first, stops it from doing what just happened to you and the drill goes too deep.
Good tip!
Amazing build! I do not have a French cleet wall, but would build this if I did.
Will we see videos of all the tool racks behind you in the future?
Where are work bibs from?
You are the new Bob Villa and /or Norm from this old house.
You can still build it without the French cleats just screw it to the wall through the back plate! Yes there are other videos on the channel on how to build those holders. If you check my Amazon store listed in the description you can find the bibs!
Thank you for this great channel Justin!! I just wonder: in your French cleat video you said that most of your cleats on the wall are 1/2". In this video it looks like the cleats you put on the (very smartly designed) hammer holder are rather 3/4". Is this correct? Can one mix 1/2" wall cleats and 3/4" holder cleats?
Thanks again for the great content! Subscribed!
Hi Profsnoes, Thanks so much!, Sorry maybe I didn't articulate that clearly. I had said on the cleat video I have 1/2 ply as the background that I mount the cleats to. I make all of my cleats themselves out of 3/4 ply. You technically can mix them but I wouldn't make cleats with half inch, just not enough holding contact area.

Love it lol
Hey Bitber Build. Solve another storage problem for me. Twist drill bit storage. I have acquired over the years literally hundreds. I made an oak holder that displays all 116 sizes (I accidentally bought a machinist set of bits even though I’m an amateur old lady hobbyist) to sit on my table top. But how to keep the rest in order!!?? There is a plan on Etsy for a drawer separator but it requires a CNC. I don’t yet have one of those. Maybe something with cut off pvc pipe. But you may have a better idea!
Try this video I show what I use towards the end. Maybe give you some ideas Woodworking Electric Drill Press Table & Shop Table

Since this had to be re-released...
You asked a question about other good ideas you had.
Got anything good for screw drivers?
Additionally, are you fonna convert your small pony clamp holder into your new style thats more space efficient?
Yeah, sorry, there were just too many errors in the last video. I didn’t want it to be like that I really do like the screwdriver holder that I have right now that I made on the CNC machine. It works pretty well for me. You can see it in the original small shop video, it’s basically just a board with holes where I want them so you can easily do that with a regular drill and then I cut it at 55 degree angle where it mounts so it is nicely angled for easy viewing.
I’m sure I’ll redo it as per usual 🤣 however it can’t be that design. that is only viable with clamps that have long rails so that the handles can be staggered. Short clamps wouldn’t work for that design.
Do you generally use ½" material or ¾" material for making your tool holders? Thank you!
I usually use 3/4 but part of that is I have a bunch of scrap 3/4 and we all know scraps best use other than firewood is tool holders 😀
I have just started to make the hammer holder and would like to point out that the 0.75 piece should be 1.5 inches.
✌️
Where did you get your apron? Great video.
amzn.to/4cO4tzg
The piece that you’re screwing on to the back of the main board which you say is only 3/4 of an inch. It looks a little wider than the inch and a half ones that you have on the bottom to separate the hammers. It looks more like 2 inches which I think it would have to be to give you enough space, or am I wrong.
If you’re talking about the piece where the hammer heads actually rest not the handles, that’s one and 3/4 inches I just measured
Hey, I’m working on this hammer hanger and I noticed in the cut list pics that the one you the Skinny piece looks much wider than .75. It looks a lot wider than the .75 pcs that go on each end. Is this correct?
I see the correction now. Sorry🤪
Yes, my apologies. It was a typo and RUclips won’t let you correct it after the fact, . I have it pinned as the top comment and in the description the correct measurement.
Is skinny piece that attaches to back supposed to be 1.5 inches? Dimensions show .75 inches.
Yes bill it is 1.5 in! Dang…. Well sorry for that I’ll be making a pin to reflect
Thanks. Planning on building and figured I etter check before starting.
I’m surprised you didn’t say harbor freight.
?
At 2145, you kinda jumped past the second end piece that is not “ squared up”😮😮😮
It’s squared up to the back plate, the side pieces are cut in angle, which makes it look like it’s skewed
Your second cleat what's a two-sided tape would be suffice with screws how much weight do you think you're really putting on to that that you need glue did you ever look at the total Whittier hammers it's way over built in the first place voice recorder in stock. Also your wrench hangers you're worried about space so so muchso they next better together.
🤷
justin quick question. in the video you have a little sliver at .75" but later in the video, that piece looks wider at about 1.5 inches that you placed on the back. my issue is, when i go to attach the backer, theres a large gap between the backer and the little sliver piece but in your video its not because its wider. is that a mistake or am i doing something wrong?
The piece that goes at the head of the hammers should be 1.5in there will be a gap between it and the backer I have it noted on the pinned comment at the top (can’t change it after it’s posted unfortunately)
@@BitnerBuilt ah yes I see now. Sorry. Didn’t catch that. FYI it’s finished now and looks and works perfectly. I wish you can see a pic. I don’t know how to send it or I would. Dad loved it. Did one of those heh. Yah it works well and walked off which means he liked it a lot haha. He normally criticizes things so believe me it’s a win! Haha.
email me the pic would love to see! justin@bitnerbuilt.com Ahh I know his type, well hey glad it was a win! @@eladsinay6914
Love the design of the holder. Not so much the thumbnail. Not a fan of the color section with the words. Friendly feedback. You are doing great.
Thanks for the feedback Jacob!
Does it have to be 22.5°?
No, you can change it a little bit, that was what I measured that was most effective in moving the center of gravity of the hammers to directly to the middle of the wood. If you change it too much, it could cause the hammer to want to flip up or flip back.
Wasn’t this released earlier?
It was, I was editing this wayyy into the am and published it with several mistakes, (don’t edit when tired) so I pulled it fixed and re released it since it only had 300 views at that point. Sorry!
@@BitnerBuilt honestly I didn’t even notice them! Good stuff
Ima make up a new slogan right now...... "if it's got a handle, it'll fit in a hole." LOL. Instead of cutting and gluing a bunch of plywood pieces together to hold the handle in place, simply take a cheap length of 2x4 or 4x4 and drill holes in it as a certain distance apart. Drill them down about 2 or 3 inches, leaving the remaining 1/2" or 1/4" of the x4 as a stopper at the bottom of the hole. Probably 2 inches is perfectly sufficient to hold the handle upright. That way, other than attaching the French cleat to the holder, you don't have to cut and glue a bunch of pieces together. Just drill some 1 or 1.5" Dia holes to place the ends of the handles in....
✌️
it take up too much. way to far from the wall
🧐
@@BitnerBuilt in a small shop where space is in high priority this design is taking too much space. rather than bein flat against the wall
The fact that you show your mistakes makes us feel more human. Shit happens. Try again.
Thanks! Yeah I’m definitely not perfect so there’s usually mistakes abound!
Great video, well-thought-out simple design, easy build, ease of use. I used many ideas here with a few improvements. First made a trapezoidal cardboard template with two 90-degree corners and two 90 (plus and minus) 22.5 degree corners such that my largest mallet head will not hit the back wall. As a result the top plate is 3.5 inches. Also I wanted an open space on the back to prevent sawdust and debris from collecting. The trapezoidal sides are 1.5" thick pine for sturdy support and strong construction. I chamfered the spacer block strips (solid wood) to make it more like a cradle for the hammer handles, plus it can accommodate more hammer diameters better. My hammer rack is 30 inches long, holds 12 hammers/mallets. Instead of a ply backplate I used two 1.25" wide hardwood strips with French cleats. My rack is made completely out of half inch ply, 2-bys, pallet wood and screws. I used eight 2.5" screws for the French cleats and wall strip mounts. I trimmed out ply edges with hardwood. This design is better suited for those with a table saw. Finished is boiled linseed oil.
Nice alterations glad you like the design
