-------------------------------------------------
I've received a few questions, so here are the measurements I used:
The cleat itself is 1.5 inches on the shorter side and 2.25 on the longer side
The gap between my cleats is 2.25 inches, but you could go 3+ inches or more.
From base of first cleat to top of second cleat is 6.75 inches.
Base of first cleat to the base of second cleat is 4.5 inches.
There have been a few comments on switching out the outlet. I switched a 15 amp outlet for a 20 amp outlet as it is on a 20 amp circuit. Do NOT place a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit. For more info, here is a link to the electrical code: up.codes/s/out...

@TheKojak76 Год назад

Just a quick question for anyone who might know the answer. Would it be easier to cut the 45 degree angle as your cutting the strips? To me it seems you could skip a step if you did. I know that if you set up one saw at a 45 that each side would be angled but you could use either 2 saws, one set at a 45 and the other to cut the flat bottom, or just have angles on top and bottom so that either way you need to place the board it works. I’m just learning woodworking and CNC carving so this is an honest question I had while watching. Great video, I can’t wait to start my organization wall.

Just moved to a new home with separate shop. Loved this video, so helpful. I am cringing a little with how much more expensive the Birch Plywood is compared to a few years ago. About triple, but it makes such a beautiful feature in the shop. I have most of the same tools as well which is great for using the cordless power tools. I love my Ridged Pro series table saw and miter saw. They cut so clean and are infinitely quieter than my older equipment. The Ryobi cordless pin nailer is such a magnificent tool.

Happy to see someone else adopt a smaller cleat size to extend a sheet of ply! I was in the sign business for years (80's - 2003) and we used 2" french cleats to hold large sandblasted signs!!! The key is to hit a stud with the fasteners or use anchors! Those 5" and 6" cleats sizes I see folks posting is just a waste of valuable lumber and over-engineering for what most DIY's are going to hang in their garage/shop! Great Job! #hardworkpaysoff

@DJMetalstone Год назад

I pick up pallet wood in my city. even the standardized Euro pallets companies can't return if there is like 1 broken board on them. Be sure to pick up the pine ones and not firewood since that's crap. Anyway I got a few addresses in my city now where I can freely pick it up because otherwise they need to pay money for throwing it away or having someone pick it up for taking it to the city dump. Yeah it's a bit more work but it's free that way. Put it thru a planer , plug the holes with wood glue and sawdust from the same type of wood sand the remains off and it's like you got brand new boards. Sorry if I'm too informative I don't know your experience in this , but yeah that's how I do it.

@ttgeek Год назад

you can alternate the spacers when setting up the cleat. that way any imperfection in the spacers will cancel each other out.

@benjenkins2415 2 года назад

Love it. I built my wall but struggling with the right organizational setup to use. I will be stealing many of your ideas!

@DJMetalstone Год назад

So awsome. Thanks for showing this , I didn't knew about this type of system. I temporarily bought some plastic standardized tool boards , but the quality is really crap. It can't really support the amount of stuff you can put in there weight wise. It starts to hang and the back parts it hangs on can easily break if not careful or like said weight overloaded using the whole bracket of holes filled. That being said this is my first own setup for my shed , I just needed something in place. Now I'm in the process I'm getting to upgrading it into a wood tool wall. This really helps me out a ton because I had ideas how to do it but just not a design for it yet. This definitely gives me a blueprint for the universal backwall because that's exactly what I wanted. A system where I can design my own buckets or cabinets on. Because now I can make any design for any tool or material storage I need and fix it on there.

@elained9591 Год назад

@@steveb7882French cleats hold a tremendous amount of weight, more than a shelf can. I have hung very heavy cabinets and filled them with tools on French cleats. The cleats are still holding well over twenty years. Besides that, there’s the nice thing of rearranging as the tools multiply. I had never thought of using plywood behind mine, I have always just secured them to the studs themselves. The plywood is interesting as it would allow a nice backdrop and easier to clean I imagine. It looks nicer that’s for sure.

@scottmorris4914 Год назад

good video thanks. One thing you can do for the sharp edges, is run the cleats through your tables say again, just taking off 1/2 of a ply layer thickness. This will also keep the plywood from chipping.

@Dan-xf7bh Год назад

For those of them that are watching this and saw the outlet change. I want to clarify something. That was very dangerous what he did. It may seem innocuous now but he switched a 15 amp outlet with a 20 amp outlet. The wiring I'm certain is for 15 amp only and by putting a 20 amp outlet on it you allow the ability of somebody who has a 20 amp device into it, and could cause a fire because the wiring is not designed to handle it or at least it would trip the breaker constantly. You can tell because it had that little slash 90° on the left prong. So 20 amp devices have that prong Twisted 90° so it can plug into that spot. You should look for Outlets that do not have that problem to match what's there. However if that is all you have make sure you write in Big Red Letters on the outlet cover 15 amp outlet only. So people know that even though a 20 amp device could fit into it not to use it. Something had to do similarly. I paid $5 for case of 30 gfic Outlets that were 20 amps and rather than spend $7 every time I wanted to put another gfic someplace I just filled in that slot with epoxy, and wrote on it 15 amp only so nobody tried to cut out or chisel out that epoxy covering the hole thinking that it was an accident. May sound stupid but electricity is something you should mess with and you got to be very precise with.

@beefmaster_james Год назад

Excellent comment. Dan is correct in saying you cannot install a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit. It is against code and is a fire hazard to do so. In the video, I replaced the 15 amp outlet for a 20 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit so it was done correctly. I replaced it because I plan to run heavier machinery on this outlet (band saw, drill press, etc.) If anyone reading this is looking to replace an outlet, you must first go to your breaker and check the number on the breaker switches (15, 20, etc). Also check that the circuit is using the correct gauged wire (14 vs 12). For those that want more info, here is is a link to the electrical code: up.codes/s/outlet-devices. Also, here is a link to a video to that I go into more detail on replacing a regular outlet for a USB one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l-Y-aL_QWbs.html

Just started my french cleat wall tool holder project. Just an observation, if your tool holder is long enough to hang over the french cleat below the one is is hanging on, do you really need the support blocks? Thanks for sharing!

@beefmaster_james 2 года назад

Correct. If it’s hanging over the cleat below then you generally don’t need the extra back support. I suggest you have it hang over the bottom cleat .5 to .75 inches to avoid breaking the tip of the cleat.

@BobbyAmoroso 8 месяцев назад

Your wall looks great and I'm thinking of doing the same in my basement. However, I only have a brick wall and so, in order to cut-down on the number of screws in the brick, I think I would forgo the plywood panel and just add the cleats directly to the brick using Tapcons. What are your (and others') thoughts on many Tapcons into the brick wall? Strong enough? Would they loosen over time? Another option is to use the plywood panel and only use screws for the cleats that stop just before the brick. So, something like an 1.25" screw. Would that be strong enough?

@andythurs4590 8 месяцев назад

You could put spacers so that the plywood sticks out from the brick further so you can use longer screws and use thicker plywood to make sure it is strong enough to hold the cleats up.

@NorthernTube Год назад

You put a 20-amp electrical receptacle on a wire that is only meant to handle 15-amps. That has the potential to overheat the wire and cause a fire. You should replace the receptacle with a proper 15-amp one, or run a larger 12-gauge wire. You might know to not overload it, but what happens if you sell your house and the new owner assumes it's wired properly?

@Stile1121 Год назад

Looks like the opposite is true (previous outlet was 15 amp on a 12 gauge wire, obviously not an issue). I could be wrong, but if you look closely it appears that the wire coming into the box is yellow 12 gauge romex.

You’re clearly not an electrician so don’t spout about how it works. You can run a 15AMP device on a 20amp circuit perfectly fine. If you run 20amp devices on 15 amp circuit THEN you will run into problems

@joeskewes9618 9 месяцев назад

So you’re saying an outlet that is rated to handle 20 amps can’t handle 15 amps. Just because it’s a 20 amp receptacle doesn’t mean it pulls more amps than the breaker is allowing.

@bsportsgirl19 Год назад

the all wood look is so clean looking! Thank you for the inspiration. When are brad nails strong enough for all cleats for all heavy tools? Or should I also use screws?

@DJMetalstone Год назад

The nails are mostly to hold pieces together while the wood glue dries. When dry wood glue tends to get as strong as the wood and sometimes stronger ( depending on wood type ) then the wood itself. I'm more of a screw user myself , so personally I'd say for heavy stuff use screws. But for simpler lighter stuff nails is perfectly fine.
