This Will Change Garage Storage FOREVER (genius organization)

My old miter saw station was unorganized, unfinished, and too big for my small shop. I am making a new miter saw station and organizing my tools. In this first video of the series, I will be removing the old miter saw station and installing this tool organization wall by Omniwall.

Looks pretty (expensive). Partnered with OmniWall, translation they sent you over $1000 of free product to cover a 4x8 section of wall. I'm no banker but after doing some math in my head...think I will keep my French Cleats!

[yellowhammerwoodcrafts]

FYI for everyone still using peg board. They make plastic clamps that hold those hangers in and they work very well. Long as you have those plastic holders attached the hanger will not fall off.

I understand why some would want it, but just like my tool cabinet, it was the building of it that was the fun part. Same for a french cleat system.

Over a grand for a few wall mount tool holders. That's more than I spent on my mac top/bottom chest combo. Takes up less space and holds more tools. So handy this is. Things like a specialized hook with a plastic tab and aerospace engineering to make a peg to hang a speed square. Know what else works just like that and doesn't 'fall out'? A nail. BOOM, complete solution and for around $4.50 you can get a pack with around 45 of those bad boys. Speed squares for days hanging on the wall at a cost of a dime each. And another $30 for this and $30 for that and $180 for another small piece. One thing's for sure, this system is indeed for 'tools'.

I know someone has already mentioned a heat gun for label removal. Sometimes adhesive residue gets left behind. Residue comes off quick and easy with a little WD40 and a rag or paper towel. I use this method all the time. Shop looks great!

Nice setup!
On my walls I have LED light strips every 4 feet abover the workbench, and have them all wired into a circuit I control with a switch mounted on/in the wall board above the workbench. This way I can turn them all on or off with one switch, while working at the workbench. And since my entry door is 50 feet across the shop I wired all my shop lights(including those workbench lights, wired to the ceiling lights circuits), fan controls, air compressor, big screen TV and bluetooth stereo to a switch panel mounted next to that personal entry door. This way I can turn off everything on, or off, when I open up or leave without having to walk all over the shop to each individual item to shut it down after a long, exhausing night in the shop.
Plus, I put a ring doorbell camera in my shop so my wife can check on me from anywhere and talk to me, when I'm not making a lot of noise of coarse, without having to walk out to the shop. She even does it from her phone, so, from anywhere. (My older brother died from a heart attack last Oct in his shop and his wife didn't find him for 2 hours..?)

Yea...Pretty cool and functional but lets be real here... That weekend warrior system cost almost $1000.. THAT IS INSANE!!!!

[craiglindholm]

FYI… little rubber plugs are available for regular peg boards as well. They work AWESOME!

[chrism]

I have been waiting for a system like this. Wall cleats and pegboard system for 10 times the price.

[FixItFrench]

I love my French cleat wall but I have to admit that the black looks very slick!

I am an avid woodworker and have been for many years as I am now 73 years of age. I couldn’t help noticing your Psalm 71 T-shirt so I looked it up. I read this beautiful psalm and it spoke directly to me, since I have recently gone through a rough time. Just one of the many ways God speaks to us; thank you for your testimony.

I’m currently turning my garage into my wood shop. I’ve gotten too old to be doing remodeling work with a few exceptions. Two years ago I started collecting the tools and falling trees required to build furniture. I haven’t had to pay for any of my lumber as long as i did the cleanup. I have a mobile slab machine and use my basement to dry them. I’m going through all my tools and organizing now. I’m building my work table currently. I liked what you built for your table and used it along with a couple other guys I subscribed to. Keep killing it brother 👍.

Hi Matt, I’ve been a follower for a while. I’m a UK based part-time amateur wood-worker and I follow a lot of people from around the world. Whilst I don’t always have access to some of the tools/materials/suppliers that you do. I find that your skills, experience, presenting style and all-round authenticity are totally international, fabulously endearing and massively useful.

Your tips and videos are invaluable and totally addictive. I’ve learned a great deal from you and always look forward to your next instalment.

I’ve a sizeable list of international makers that I really respect and love (UK/US and indeed everywhere else) and just want to you let you (and them) know the positive effect you have on me as a maker.

They do siding in a garage in Tennessee and North Carolina too.

It looks nice, but also expensive. I can make french cleats any way/size I want out of scrap in my shop. It's hard to beat the price and utility of that.

[LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

My blackboards were green!! Awesome video... I'm still working on the inside finishing of the new shop. I want an Omniwall setup!!!

[RedcarWW]

This is a nice looking system, and get how it’s more secure than French cleats. Creating different solutions for French cleats is another advantage. It would be cool if this system allowed you to create your storage while leveraging their connectors to the unit. This would then add exceptional versatility.

[Jeff_Eats_Local]

Looks like an incredible system. Feelings are mutual on traditional pegboard. So frustrating when the holder come out when removing tools. Glad these folks thought of a solid way to prevent that from happening.

Suggestion on taking the labels off, get a long trough and put Very Hot Water with some detergent in the trough, it will weaken the glue. Once it is soft, use a plastic paint scraper the label will come off rather easily. Next take some butter and spread it on the place where the label was, the oil in the butter will weaken the glue even more, the just wash off with a rag, dry everything well and no label or glue on the support parts. It works on most glued labels.
