I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!
I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage. I will share videos of my past, current, and future woodworking projects with the goal of getting you out in the shop making sawdust!

I really appreciate that your design ideas are creative *and* practical. The pacing is good, too. There's no need for us to watch your cut & assembly steps in slow real-time. You have sped them up just enough to remove tedium, yet easily grasped Good stuff, thanks, looking forward to seeing more..

Great video. I also use French Cleat all over my shop for storage. I don't move stuff around frequently. However, when I do need to reorganize things, it is great how easy it is to move stuff around. I have found that I use a lot of dowels in my various French cleat tool holders.

@rickmunn7356 4 месяца назад

Cool ideas. I’ve just started my French cleat wall and so far my favourite holders are for clamps, sandpaper/sander and squares. My plan is to only mount the tools I use often. The rest can hang out in my cabinets. Fun stuff. Thanks. Rick, Canada.

@EveningWoodworker 4 месяца назад

Good call, I only put stuff up there that I need to access regularly (tools) or that can be stored easier that way (clamps).

@Shadoweclipse1386 4 месяца назад

Fantastic! I love seeing all the different tool holders that people make for French cleat walls! My favorite that ive built is a rack for things on the drill press and router table. It's a deep box (8-10" or so), and I've got 5 2×10"s at an angle: metric Forstner bits, SAE Forstner bits, drill press tools (chuck keys, sanding drums, countersinks, etc.), 1/2" shank router bits, and 1/4" shank router bits. Fully-loaded it's like 10-15 pounds, but it's held up for a few years and looks awesome.

@EveningWoodworker 3 месяца назад

Sounds like it has everything on it!

@Shadoweclipse1386 3 месяца назад

@@EveningWoodworker It might actually have too much! When I built it, I had *only* French cleats, and I'm starting to go back to drawers a little, but only for dedicated things (no general/open drawers that will become junk drawers). I still love that one though :)

Yes! That's exactly how I decide which holders to make- what gives me more space on the workbench.

@ikust007 5 месяцев назад

@robertspeer 5 месяцев назад

I made an angled shelf to hold my pack out style boxes that I put fasteners in, and my kreg kit. That way they are always accessible for grabbing stuff in the workshop, and I can easily pack them up and go quickly too. They look cool on the wall like that too.

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

That sounds like a great way to do it especially if you have wall space for it.

@DAS-Machina 4 месяца назад

I am in the early stages of setting up a new shop and one of the first things I did was make a 24' french cleat wall. I am about 1/3 into putting up tool holders, I am certain that I am going to move things around.Matter of fact I am thinkingthat I might even put up french cleats on some addditional walls. we shall see.

I really like the marking knife holder! I built a plane holder similar to yours, but it has a simple shelf just underneath to hold various odds and ends. I've also got a very simple rack for my Japanese saws and chisels. I also like how you made the square holder. I've seen so many people hang them flat, which just wastes so much space. I've prioritized efficiency over form since I have a pretty small space to work from

@EveningWoodworker 4 месяца назад

Yep I needed to fit more stuff in a smaller wall space so this square holder worked better for me. Glad you liked it!

@chunkkingmann309 5 месяцев назад

I do have some French cleats-mostly for hanging cabinets. And this video may have convinced me to try making one of those passive amplifiers. Like you say, sometimes its just more convenient than the BT system.

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

It's fun and surprisingly effective at amplification

@petenelson8136 5 месяцев назад

No French Cleats in my shop, but then again nothing at all on the walls yet.... I just moved into my new house and have a 14'x32.5' woodworking shop. Had to buy some shelving to get some stuff off the floor so I could begin to get organized. Should be finishing my outfeed/assembly table this weekend, and then I'll be able to start my next project, built in cabinets for our pantry. We left some of the cabinets for me to build, so I've got to get my shop up and running while trying to get organized. I'm slowly acquiring new tools to round out what I still need for my shop. Just got a Record Power 90L CamVac to take care of the dust collection and hooked it up to a 55 gallon drum with an Onita 4/5 Cyclone separator. 1st time I've had dust collection and it's sure nice. Thanks for sharing your organizational skills.

@Not_TVs_Frank 5 месяцев назад

I have some French cleats and pegboard, and if the pegboard didn't have a certain college logo on it, I'd probably have traded half for more cleats. My 2 favorite holders are for my nail guns and clamps. My nail guns have literally no place else to go. My clamp racks have nice handles on them so they can easily jump off the wall and move closer to a project when needed.

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

Haha, yeah sounds like you need to paint a logo on your French cleats!

@dave_ecclectic 2 месяца назад

Nice Job. I think you should _finish_ the holders with oil or shellac or something, after all the care you took in materials and construction they need a finish. I think you should have changed your bandsaw blade before starting. Watching the vid shows the hindsight of needing to cut all those curved parts and would have eliminated the relief cuts and most if not all the sanding. My favorite holder is not the holder but my method of making them. I laminated the plywood with burl veneer that I was able to buy much cheaper than you would think. I used ash and hickory as _shaped_ wooden posts or pegs (for the cordless tools) not squared chunks and also to 'frame' the plywood covering the plywood edges simply and easily. And of course, I *finished* everything with shellac or Danish oil and then shellac. So, I disagree with your statement of building these out of anything. If someone has no budget for the wood that is one thing. if someone is using Baltic $$ birch for the plywood then they have no excuse for not making it look good. I should add I used lathe strips, that crappy 1"x3" stuff, it worked fine.

@karatekid10908 3 месяца назад

@FearsomeWarrior 5 месяцев назад

Fantastic. I’d watch ten more videos like this. The passive amplifier made me wonder if new mini Bluetooth amps are improved or a reliable model has risen to the top. Maybe you are using yours less because it’s getting old. Or maybe just keeping volume low in late evenings.. as the Evening Woodworker, that checks out.

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

With most music, I'm still listening with my mini amp and shop speakers, but sometimes I'm working out of range or just want to hear a podcast or something quieter right where I am. Now I have options!

@bmz1 Месяц назад

It sounds interesting. But if you take a step backwards, how many hands do you have to use so many pens...? Can you just limit you to 2-3 pieces with different characteristics? And for you Clamp rack 4, you could rather make the same holding type as the rack 2 and 3. The current design force you to close the clamps for every storage. Otherwise some cool ideas to take with.

@EveningWoodworker Месяц назад

The clamp racks were kind of creative challenges to make each one different... and the pens are always getting left somewhere so it's good to have extras!

@Mukes4889 4 месяца назад

Really good. Do you generally use ½" plywood for your French cleat tool holders (except for the ¾" cleat)?

Want to put this French cleat system all over my garage for stuff laying around. What is the size of the width for placing at 45 degree angle and what is the spacing between the rows?

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

For the cleats, I rip a 5" board down the middle at a 45. Then the spacing between each row is 3". Cut some extra cleats so you have them ready to make holders too.

@RWAllen-jx8gi Месяц назад

A bit off video topic, but I am trying to find some in depth videos about setting up a lathe. Most of the ones I see these days are modern/variable speed and attached motors. Mine is an older Delta Lathe with separate motor and belts. I have had it since 1995, since my uncle passed. It has never been fully set up to turn anything. Any help/directions would be greatly appreciated.

@EveningWoodworker Месяц назад

I've used various lathes, but I've never owned one myself... mostly because of space. I would see what existing documentation is out there online for the model you have. If you felt adventurous, you could calculate the RPMs based on the diameter of the pulley wheels. Or you could just hook up one component at a time and turn it on for each one to see what works and what doesn't (motor w/no pulley, the motor with slowest pulley, etc). At the end of the day, if you clamp something in the lathe and it holds it tight and doesn't wobble when you turn it on, you should be good; they're not super complicated. Good luck!
