My Ultimate Clamp Rack Storage Wall – Part 1

Join me on a 3-part series to build my ultimate French cleat clamp storage wall. This is part of my organization and space optimization journey.

The goal is to gather all of my scattered clamps and create an optimized storage solution for them. I’ll use an underutilized bit of wall space as I create a shiplap finish (part 1) and then add French cleats (part 2) along with clamp holders (part 3).

I agree that the wall is beautiful as is, with the work youve done so far in part 1. Okay, so to backtrack.. I like your caution sign genius at work, that was good stuff.
To answer the question about what i like about the videos. I like that you are very meticulous and not only get the job done, but work to get it as close to perfect as possible, so that the job isn't just done, but done efficiently. I like that you walk through every step to be clear and consise about what youre doing. It is also enjoyable that you add humor in there. Last, but not least, I like that you are humble and transparent about still learning. Personally, I think you excel at all that you do because of these things.
