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.

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.

I build a French cleat wall for my long, but narrow shop in order to conserve precious floor space. Building tool holders can be a great skills-builder, and is an opportunity to perfect techniques. My fav holders are my table saw & chop saw blade racks. Organized, easy access without bending over & rooting around. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Good inspiration. I also finish my holders so they’ll outlast me (or decompose in a landfill when my family piles them into a dumpster).

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.

I have a French cleat corner for my power tools and I like it. It’s easy to change the holders and to move them around. My other tools are in drawers and on a prefabricated tool wall; maybe some day I’ll exchange that for a French cleat wall like yours 😄

I said ‘wow’ when you showed how your note book holder slides out from under the plane rack you designed … which in itself is a pleasure to see. I love these French cleats. New idea for me and very timely as I have book shelves and cabinets to design and make. Thank you for all these ideas. I have now subscribed. Thanks for making these videos - you filmed everything very well too. Watching from the Uk.

I totally forgot about french cleats! I am going to make a cleat wall in my shop after watching this. :)

[Twentythrive]

I <3 French cleats! My daughter and I actually made a French cleat coffee bar. I like the little speaker idea!

[rafaelrestrepo]

Good morning. Excellent ideas. Thanks for such a stupenuous broadcast.

[Marticulate]

The clamp racks are a great idea and efficient use of space. Build out where you can, not across.

[beneg]

This whole video is amazing. My mom wants a wall like this to hold a bunch of cute plants and candles 🌵

Like you, I waited forever to buy an impact screw gun. Buying one was one of the best purchases I made.

[funkypunkypine]

These are amazing. Yeah, that notebook one is particularly cool! Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Also: "...easy to find the slot with your tool..." 😂

[grandolddrummer]

These are all great ideas, but the star of the show for me was that stud finder. I gotta go pick one of those up.

[tomjudkins]

Clamp racks are the best application for French cleats I've ever found...

[NewTestamentDoc]

awesome ideas... saved your video.. I always save the best in my woodworking video folder!

[tiggerthegreeb]

Really fun video to watch and see your creativity. Especially the phone speaker. Brilliant stuff. Thanks for the inspiration to just try stuff out. I'm constantly thinking I have to design and make the right tool holder first time every time and almost don't begin. Thanks again.

[mattdworaczyk]

Great video! I can't make myself pick between making a French cleat wall, or just hanging a sheet of plywood on the wall and screwing holders directly to it...

[marshallflyer]

There’s some awesome ideas here. Thanks for sharing.
