[@steveelford97]

This series is incredible! I'm building a shed/shop this summer and am now convinced that a french cleat system is the way to go for my needs. Thank you for all of the tricks, tips and ideas! Keep them coming please!

[@SpecificLove7]

We are so happy these could help you

[@johnwalton3850]

As soon as I start my workshop you will be my go-to guy between your PVC and your French cleat you are a genius

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you, I am just here trying to help others get inspired to do what they love. I wish you the best on your future Workshop.

[@bluewookie41]

Good stuff! You should add a mini basketball backboard to that french cleated scrap bin!

[@MTEXX]

14:10 love the way you upcycled those scraps into a panel

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks

[@covertops.]

Such creativity! I have never seen anyone else go through holders one by one and explaining each as you do. Thank you very much for sharing these with us.

[@mykolashatkovskyi8817]

Worldwide known french-cleat expert! Thanx - great video, the whole series of videos, actually.

[@stanmashek3085]

thanks again great ideals

[@rudyswoodwork7236]

I don’t understand his English but I understand French cleats.. thanks for sharing ur videos . They are cool to watch..

[@madgamesmike79]

A bunch of simple, easy, awesome ideas!

[@conrat2000]

I love the outlet protector. Ingenious

[@AnthonySettergren]

I just love how happy these make you. I'm in the middle of the arduous task of installing my French cleats to my wall. I can't wait to make some of your ideas!

[@jackc1320]

Great ideas! A suggestion for making the outlet protector more efficient add a lower lip and the top will be able to hold something -- a note pad perhaps. Drill a few holes and you can store a couple of pencils for quick notes.

[@EzwoodbyRMM]

I’m searching for the best french cleats in KZbin to try to install them at the shop that I’m building. I must say that your videos are very instructive and creative. They provide excelent ideas. Thanks and congrats from Portugal 🇵🇹. Specially in this time of covid19 pandemic where we are all at our homes avoiding personal contact and waiting for this to go away.

[@satwatchers]

I love al these great project ides. I have come back to this video several times. So much better that most of the other “too long” videos out there. Thanks again!!!

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

These french cleats are a brilliant idea sir .

[@BabyDoll-wo2jp]

I had a lot of tools everywhere so I'm always looking for the right one I need. I've been looking around on tool storage and organizers but that can get pretty expensive. So after watching your videos on to make my own I've already made a few and so far I love how it's going. I can't wait to get all organized. Lol Finally. Thanks

[@SpecificLove7]

I'm so glad its working for you. Have fun building.

[@5molotok5]

Just put them on shelf baby doll, then it will be easy to find.... and try not to stack them one on top of another one.... or ask a grown up for help

[@DebHeadworth]

I love every one of tour designs!! They’re wonderful!!!

[@DebHeadworth]

[@DebHeadworth]

[@jnrmrtn]

I guess since I've watched all of these French cleat videos in a row I'll subscribe. Great ideas!

[@jnrmrtn]

Aaaaand I just saw there's a #4.

[@iwantthetruthandnothingbut6521]

OMG, my kind of guy.... Organized!👍

[@krislandis1589]

just finishing up my shop, your ideas/videos are so helpful!! thank you

[@margueritepeaden3445]

If the clear PVC is too expensive, I think you could use the clear tubing I’ve seen at our agricultural supply store. It’s like air tubing for an aquarium on steroids. It’s flexible unlike PVC, but at such short lengths it should still work. I love all the different holders you’ve come up with. It makes me want to do a French cleat wall in my craft room for my craft supplies.

[@SpecificLove7]

That would look great too. Have fun making them.

[@NivekS-1224]

So awesome. I’m literally making all of these for my shop. Thanks!!

[@SpecificLove7]

You are so welcome!

[@ikust007]

3:04 becomes a Note pad. Love it

[@ericmartin8888]

On the plug protector you might want to put a small stop at the bottom of the top plate and you could place a notepad and pencil on it. Great note taking station.

[@Member00101]

Thanks for the great ideas! I made the outlet protector and put a small piece of wood at the bottom of the top part so it can hold my phone while it's plugged into the charger.

[@jvitasek]

is your house also hanging on a french cleat? great ideas man!

[@AGlimpseInside]

This series is fantastic

[@SpecificLove7]

I hope you can use a few of these in your new building

[@RideAlongside]

When I saw the French cleat on a crate, I instantly thought of your video yesterday Chris. Apple boxes in French cleats? 🤔

[@wafiqshafiq573]

amazing useful videos and nice presentation. planning to make my first french cleats and benefited a lot ...thank u

[@SpecificLove7]

That's Awesome, have fun building them.

[@dennisschickling5759]

3:08 one improvement on that add a lip on the bottom for a note pad and a PCV Tube on the side for a pencil holder.

[@neilphillips9163]

A lip will also allow you to put your cell phone on there, and the outlet is right there for charging

[@SpecificLove7]

That could work too, thanks

[@AdamKirbyMusic]

Dude you're a French cleat champion. So many ideas here.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you for the support

[@kentshrader6616]

We just moved into our new house which is blessed with a full basement and exposed studs. The basement is my "man cave" for restoring old and/or broken tools and doing some woodwork. I am inspired by your ideas. I will make a cleat for my soldering gun using #20. But will design it to turn the gun away from the cord to avoid damaging the cord should the gun still be warm when putting it in the cleat. Keep up the great work!

[@SpecificLove7]

You have a great idea there.

[@james13666]

Did you cover the exposed 2x4 and if so what did you use? I've got a shed Im using for yard tools and camping/recreation thing too.

[@davidbundesen5867]

Your ideas are both simple and clever. I love these. I’ll be using a bunch of these. Kudos.

[@kokosage]

Clever! I love all those ideas! Very creative! You’re funny too- great sense of humor. Do more video tips!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks, I hope to have another in the future. I'm just trying to get some good ones.

[@BeckyBlanton]

@@SpecificLove7 You inspired me to start my own cleat wall. My first thing is a place to hold my small coffee pot!

[@warriorlink8612]

Sometimes I keep a car in my garage, and it can get in the way. You can build a simple french cleat system and hang it on the wall... Just teasing, thanks for the video and great ideas! 😁

[@Bozemancurtis]

Sometimes I'm not sure where I am, so I created this simple french cleat system to hang a recliner from the wall. Now, I know just how to find myself.

[@BossSpringsteen69]

Thanks brother, i watched several of your videos. I'm very inspired.

[@ikust007]

You really have great ideas. Cheers!

[@robertblaiklock3555]

I truly enjoyed watching your videos. The ideas presented here can help me organize my garage work area. Thank you.

[@SpecificLove7]

You are very welcome

[@conrat2000]

Thank you for these videos.

[@SpecificLove7]

You are very welcome

[@gilbus4989]

You have a very natural way and clear of narration. good ideas too

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much, it has taken a few years of practice.

[@stuartculley6567]

Looking at making my tool wall easier to store items. Great ideas, going to be busy.

[@trialnterror]

The clear pvc holder is the best I’ve seen.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks

[@mavision6525]

Great ideas.

[@davidbergewaytogo]

You're videos are superb, Ô great Teacher! One mistake I made when I began making french cleats was to use a full length cleat behind each and every little module I made. I just never gave it a second thought, I guess! :( Save wood *and* money by making narrow strips : one on each side edge of your cubbie/rack/shelf. Just thought it would be nice to share this tip with other beginners. :)

[@alanwallis2467]

Thanks for the videos. Just one problem..Where do I begin, so many fantastic ideas.

[@mikemaryworley7148]

Great ideas!!

[@alohaIslandersLuau]

Great Idea!

[@alvimarrochadarosaalvim8018]

Very Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@securitycameras5977]

Again, really great ideas.

[@kringles65]

Creatively. Great job!

[@alejoenric]

Master!!!

[@hraprins]

You are Dr Cleat! 👍😉

[@carlmccoy662]

Saw blade holder is my favorite. The caulking tube holder should be re-designed to orient the tube tips up.

[@kmwrites7456]

great creative ideas

[@jvanamb]

Hi Clinton, I LOVE FRENCH CLEATS. As I grow MUCH OLDER 👴 it get harder and harder to be picking stuff up from the floor or lower shelves. So a French Cleat is actually a life saver. Re.: #4 Your A/C outlet cover. I made that myself. The original problem was that the kids and shop visitors would use the cover as a note desk. That additional weight would snap the cleat or merely knock it off. Another object to the floor. So I made a MINOR adjustment. Instead of a wooden top, I removed the wood for a thick piece (two 1/2 inch) clear Lexan. Now we can see through the top for ease of plug swaps. And no one uses the cover as a writing desk. Next, all of my traveling units, and my sandpaper shelving unit, all have a hand hold, i.e. cut out pull, for ease of access. Lastly, in the past I made four of your spray paint can holders. After watching your first French Cleat episode I attached my hand hold pull to the top with your French Cleat. Great match. I can hang my paint cans, and additional spray paint tools, near my paint box and move it outside at will. My weekend project this week will be more wall cleats near the two people doors & around the empty space adjacent to the garage doors to the building corners. For you ax and garden tool (shovel) cleats. GREAT JOB. ~Jim

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you for telling us of all your uses and ideas including the outlet cover which is a very cool way to let it be seen and not used. Your input really helps me want to continue this process. I hope to have a few more videos in the near future, and hope you can use a few of those ideas too.

[@jacktracy4845]

Nice. I will make virtually all of them

[@stephengee8488]

A couple of ideas I thought of: a battery holder for different sizes. I built one for my wall. I didn’t include a bin for used batteries though.

[@lucyswannsunsafespace7313]

Stephen Gee 😱 how dare you leave that out?!?! Can you REALLY even call yourself a woodworker? 😂 jk jk 🤗

[@ryanrobot2003]

Very good

[@valterleao2798]

Excelente…, gostei muito das suas ideias para os suportes, também, gosto de muito de trabalhar a madeira, dando-lhe forma das mais diversas, amo esse segmento, faço por hobby, para desestressar 🤞 Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@briandacy597]

Love this series. Thanks. What width do recommend for the tool holder cleats? Do you glue or screw them in?

[@AlaskaWorkshop]

These are awesome, new subscriber!

[@SpecificLove7]

Hi and welcome

[@mixtecjaguar9824]

Genius!

[@lucyswannsunsafespace7313]

On the outlet protector, depending on where the outlet is: adding a slight lip to the bottom of the front and you’ve got a nice notepad or small tablet holder

[@WizofOz65]

Should extend the front of your tape holder forward with some wood to hold the open end of each tape for easy use and add a hack saw blade across the entire front edge for cutting the tape

[@enriquemireles8947]

I enjoy your videos and ideas. Hey on that one over your outlet would make a great phone holder and you could charge it there too.

[@mkay6089]

I put french cleats in my shop here in the UK, I like that your ideas are simple and straightforward but get the job done. I have my wall outlets like yours but here in the Uk our plugs are flat with the cord coming out the bottom so we do not have any issues with having to protect them. They also have a switch and a built in fuse which is fused lower than the main circuit so if a tool malfunctions it trips an RCD on the main panel which is just reset but blows the fuse in the plug so that tool does not work again and will not interfere with the rest of the shop. I like your idea to protect your outlet though cool!!

[@Steve-qn8gn]

The saw blade holder seems like it’s a cut hand waiting to happen. I would play around with recessing the blades or finding something protective.

[@job752]

good ideas!

[@TheDistur]

I always throw stuff at my trash bucket too hahaha.

[@user-ie8st5qr3y]

Another Great Ideas Video. You Da man

[@brumrunner15]

Mate, these ideas are fantastic. good one mate!

[@glenngoudeau4174]

I like your video, many good ideas I will use. Where did you get the grid for your table?

[@jimhester2004]

Cool and useful ideas. Thanks.

[@TheLightHouseLady]

Great ideas

[@MoussaR04]

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

00:19. You have a nice little trash bin and sometimes you misplace, or just can’t find the stupid thing. Got it!

[@mikec2810]

Some great ideas! Thanks

[@edreusser4741]

Where did you get that grid pattern for your tabletop? That looks really cool and helpful.

[@DIYMinded]

Great video. Thanks. Subscribed!

[@x21gokartracing]

I'm inspired by the entire cleat system, genius idea, I will try fit it into my garage. SLC what is the degree angle of the cleat. Thank you

[@SpecificLove7]

If you keep them at 45 degrees on all of the cuts, then they should all fit together at any location on the wall cleats.

[@hayyanah1980]

i feel like i will need a table saw for this project right?I have a miter saw only but still new using power tools.

[@Nathan-H]

Great video, do you have a video showing how you built that crate in #8

[@SpecificLove7]

It was purchased that way

[@ginnyrivera2786]

Love the wood stained PVC dowel holder. Have you tried rubbing alcohol to remove the inked markings? I don’t know if it works on all PVC, but I was thrilled that it did with mine.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks for the tip. I decided to just leave it on this item because it will just stay turned against the wall most of the time. In the future, I can give it a try.

[@moderntouchfurniture]

How do you think of these holders, great ideas, thanks for sharing. I’m Subscribed.

[@larrywilson7048]

Awesome ideas love the video!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you

[@g.fortin3228]

Nice ideas here ! Love the box fan holder. I use one too, so this is going to be a good addition ;-)

[@SpecificLove7]

That's great, happy to help.

[@thebeardedone7502]

#4 With the outlet protector you could add a strip of wood at the bottom and sides and have a place to store your phone and close to the outlet for charging .

[@Msrrick]

Thinking the same thing, maybe turn it into a wireless charging stand.

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Awesome ideas. Thanks Man!

[@Bozemancurtis]

Your. outlet protector is perfect for a place to put your cell phone. Tuck a charger on the back and run the cord around front and now you have a charging station.

[@harryh352]

How about making a French Cleat Fishing Rod and Gear Holder. I would like to see what you can come up with. I've made a couple of small ones and they work great.

[@SpecificLove7]

Great idea, I will put that on the list.

[@RideAlongside]

Love these videos!

[@TruthSeekerAi]

great job/info i call you mr French Cleat

[@kennethpink7664]

The outlet protector would be good spot for a cell phone charger & phone

[@SpecificLove7]

That is a great idea and I might use it, thank you.

[@justinmackey2912]

Heck, that outlet protector looks like a perfect size for a cordless battery charger( if you dont already have a drill station with chargers)

[@SpecificLove7]

I plan to upgrade it to something nice in FC #4 in a few weeks.

[@BMad-we6qf]

I was thinking of a cellphone charging stand.

[@BMad-we6qf]

I had not yet watched #4. :) Just what I was thinking!

[@ivor1957]

simple!

[@franzticona1835]

Nice idea ...

[@antonioderosa2112]

Number one👏👏👏👏🥂

[@organfan1968]

Great ideas as usual. Question...how far are the boards on the wall spaced apart? Need to redo my garage soon. Thanks

[@SpecificLove7]

The distance depends on your preferences and the size of your wall. Just keep in mind that if they are too close, it might be hard to attach and remove the cleats. Also make sure each wall cleat has enough surface touching the wall, and each are well secured with long screws into the studs.

[@organfan1968]

Thanks for the reply! Keep up the informative vids!

[@checkshirtjoinery5372]

So many uses of simple and overall! xD great video thanks

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you
