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!

The saw holder is the best. I have a bunch of large commercially made holders that use the same principal for my rakes, shovels, brooms, etc. Each row of 5 holders can handle a huge amount of weight. I will be making your version for my saws and maybe other tools too. Thanks.

The saw holder is brilliant! And I plan on making a modified version on your paper towel holder for storing wrapping paper rolls in my craft room! I don't particularly like storing rolls of tape and twine all together that way, it can be a hassle to get to the ones in the middle if you have a lot of different kinds, but I do like the simplicity of the holder for other things.

Good variety of handing solutions. I like the saw grip build but I hang them backwards so you don't keep gouging the holder. For extra grip a racing bike inner tube or srink tube around the dowel.

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

That sounds like a good innovation! I find I usually just pull the tape off and take it to wherever I'm working, but maybe the next french cleat video will have an update to the tape rack!

FANTATIC IDEA! I have just finished making your saw holder for my workshop. For year I have used screws as hook, or if I and feeling fancy magnets. Your holder has saved me valuable wall space and I have used some of the space slots to hold my addustable squares. THANKS YOU for posting this vidoe, you have just found yourself another subscriber.

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

I'm glad it helped! It definitely helps to save space.

@FearsomeWarrior 2 года назад

Oh you know what we like. This is the stuff. Thank you for going into detail. I think many cleat/holder videos do not cover the thickness of cleats or leave out a side view of a holder so you aren't able to see how they put it together. All of your holders are nice and clean and well thought out. I love a good pliers holder too. Tip down recesses with a thin laminated front and back is good for 2-4 pliers or the rack version with a dowel to hang them tip it. Tip down again with rectangle grid is fun. Just a long box for general hand tools is always welcome too. I keep two pliers in my hip pouch but find pliers to be the tool I reach for as much as screwdrivers. Hammer holder is another one where I"m attached to the type that is just a open notch with the handles hanging down and available to grab and lift out. Like your basic chisel/clamp rack with the hammer heads lined up to fit 4 or more on one board. Can glue on little nibs to keep them in there or sand in the bevel to sink in to get them to stay.

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

Great ideas on the hammer holder! If this one doesn't work out then I may try your design.

@norm5785 2 года назад

Awesome saw holder idea, thank you for sharing this with us from Henrico County Virginia

@calysagora3615 5 месяцев назад

The saw holder is absolutely brilliant! I'm definitely copying that idea! I didn't like the solutions for the tape holder or the hammers. I don't want to go through al tapes to get to the roll I want, so individual pegs is a much better solution. The hammers are not secured from rotating and falling through, and are not that easy to take out and put back. A better solution is to use a row of individual blocks of wood and make a hole or slot or saddle that fits the face of the individual hammer, so you only put the hammer head towards the wall, in a custom hole, leaving the shaft angled away from the wall to be easier to grab. For most hammer heads, a magnet is a good way to secure it from accidentally falling off.

@EveningWoodworker 5 месяцев назад

I'm learning what you mentioned over time with the tape holder, although the paper towel part of it is great! For the hammer one, this way keeps them stored more compactly, so it works well if space is tight. Glad you like the saw holder!

The design for the saw till is rockin'! I've seen that mechanism used before but I think you may have really nailed the simplicity. I also like the very simple low-tech stops to keep the racks stable on the cleats. May I suggest a clamp rack for next time?

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

Yeah a clamp rack is not a bad idea for the next set of holders!

@elained9591 2 года назад

Excellent ideas Matt! You appeared on a suggested video pop up. I love French cleats, they’re so easy to rearrange items as needed. I used French cleats to hang a multitude of cabinets I picked up on the cheap. I see another benefit to having chisels hanging in the method you chose, the edges will stay sharper longer I believe. .

@djbrooks2233 2 года назад

I have used the French Cleat system in a few of my shops and I have always hated them for four reasons. 1) they collect dust. 2) they collect spiders with webs. 3) the tool shelves would always come down when trying to retrieve a tool. 4) they take up so much wall space for only a small amount of tools. Now with that said, I believe that you have solved the tool shelf locking mechanism. And very brillantly I might add. I also know that someone might fill the whole French Cleat system with craddies of tools and that could solve another issue. But until the spider issue gets solved, I think I will stick to the drawers. But anyway, great job.

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

I think my favorite is a combination of some drawers and some French cleats. Also a good pest control company is helpful!

@ParaBellum2024 Год назад

This is really good. I'll copy some of your ideas! I have a rafter square like yours (5:12), but it hangs perfectly balanced from the hole, so I'll probably just bang a nail into a suitable place rather than making a rack for it.

@EveningWoodworker Год назад

Sounds like they have located the hole better on the newer squares. I'm glad this gave you some ideas!

@kz.irudimen 2 года назад

So something I've found is that for me it's important everything can be removed from the front without taking up vertical space. Maybe my wall is just overcrowded but I'm not sure you're going to love that hammer rack, because you can't put anything right above it. Many of my first holders had this issue and I had to replace them :) I'm definitely copying your chisel rack though !

@EveningWoodworker 2 года назад

That's good insight! I may have to do another version once I use these for awhile and decide what I like and don't like.

@stadleroux Год назад

You're showing some great ideas here and I especially love that saw holder! I'm quite tempted to swap my shelves out for a French Cleat system, but I'm just not sure how much cleat space I'll need to have the same amount of useable space as in the shelves. Also, I'm trying to figure out how wide the cleats on the holders should be. I think I'll be making the cleats on the wall just under 3" - 75 mm - and the spaces between just under 5" - 125 mm - but none of the many videos I've watched so far mentions the width of the cleats on the holders. Would you say just under 1 1/5" - 35 mm - should be enough?

@EveningWoodworker Год назад

My cleats are made from ripping a 5" piece in half with a 3" spacing in between each rail. You could space them apart more, but I wanted a bit more flexibility to locate my holders. The holder rails don't need to be big, but it's easy to just use the same size you already cut for the rails.
