​@@BitnerBuiltquick question: When you were talking about the spacer blocks and them possibly having imperfect measurements, if one block is slightly shorter/longer then flipping the block wouldn't change the skew. Wouldn't you actually have to switch the blocks from left to right side in order to alternate and thus not exasperate the imperfection/skew?

Thanks so very much. no fuss, just the facts, and no attitude. You provide an adult learning opportunity to allow any moron to feel they can do this, and I am a dyslexic moron. Easy, fun, and useful, thanks again. I will return the favor as I build my shop using your ideas and guide, to then share my triumphs and failures, as otherwise I would still be honing a square rock.

That was BEYOND EXCELLENT…………. My garage is a mishmash of storage trainwrecks. I’m 76 and handy……..but I’m recovering from a recent triple bypass and to pass the time, I’m bingeing on KZbin clips. And I’ve become enamoured by French cleats and the possibilities and solutions they offer. And your clip has further inspired me. When I’m up to it, I’ll be heading out to buy some necessary tools so I can get started. Again…… great job! And I subscribed. You deserve it!

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks so much! Have a fun time with your French cleat journey!

[@dfhowes]

I've been wanting to do a French cleat system for a few of years now. Long story short, I bought a sheet of 3/4" plywood and with a circular saw and a Bora track guide, made some cleats and mounted them on my garage wall. Initially, I was very pleased. But I quickly discovered how bad a job I did with my circular saw. So I decided it's time I invest in a table saw and redo my project. In the mean time, I came across your video and it was VERY helpful. I have an old friend that lives hundreds of miles away that is also interested in French cleats but he just can't find the time to do it yet. I retired over a year ago and he's about to retire. So he's kind of depending on me to help guide him and avoid some mistakes I've already made. I've sent him many links of worthy French cleat videos but I told him that he MUST watch this one before proceeding. BTW, I've not seen anyone use the framed foam to hold your hand tools as shown at 31:34. Yeah, I'll be giving that some strong consideration that when the time comes. I've liked and subscribed and expect to spend some hours watching your other videos. Thanks.

[@BitnerBuilt]

That’s great glad I was able to help good luck with you were in your friends installations!

[@mavrick561]

What a great video! Honestly, at 37 minutes, I didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing......I couldn't turn it off and learned a lot. Thanks so much.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks! Yea my stuff runs long but I try my best to get as much good info in there!

[@a10ecgentscncvideos63]

For your spacer blocks idea, If you keep your blocks orientation the same and switch them back and forth, move the left side to the right side and vice versa each level it will also cancel out any imperfection.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Indeed it will!

[@davidphantastic7753]

Hey Justin. Today was day 1 of 3 replacing our old gas hvac with new tech. It was relocated from the garage to the attic, and man, I'm one happy garage shop owner! Tons of new space! Searching for french cleat videos (because I haven't already watched a hundred waiting for this day 😊), I came across yours. Your content is super helpful and very importantly, easy to watch and absorb information. New sub here! I'm headed off to watch some of your other 50 videos. Many thanks and rock on!

Please accept a compliment. As a first time viewer of your channel it is a pleasure to hear your verbal delivery. What a command of the English language!!!! Not using the "you know" every sixth word noise. How 'bout using a small square of velcro to stick the cleat above the hanger????

This has to be some kind of a record, not only in you're favour but more so in KZbin's. The reason I say this is the last time a KZbin channel gained so many followers in such a short time frame was probably in the very early day of KZbin going online and people finding out what it was all about. At least you're now monitorised so in a financial way it's hopefully onwards and upwards from here on in. Congrats buddy it just goes to prove that you're definitely doing something right.

Awesome have fun with it, I am always rearranging and finding new ways to utilize it for the best layout, you won’t regret the effort

[@geryloftis7985]

I haven’t seen this method in mounting cabinets in years. Very easy, efficient, and strong. Nice job

[@geryloftis7985]

If you cut a cleat and one cleat is wider than the other which one would you mount on the wall?

[@BitnerBuilt]

@@geryloftis7985 structurally it wouldn’t matter and it wouldn’t matter if it’s just one cleat going horizontally but on a single level if you have to put more than one cleat next to each other, let’s say on a 16 foot wall you would need to put 2 x 8ft pieces, you would want them to be exactly the sameso that if you have a mounted item where they meet, it’s not crooked. So in that case, I would recommend cutting the fat down to match the other.

[@andrealavigne7824]

Really great video! I kind of wonder about one thing, though. I have seen in at least a couple other videos on french cleats where they trimmed off about 1/8" from the angled tip of the cleat. As those other woodworkers explained, that keeps the cleats from getting messed up/thrown off balance/something when sawdust or other debris gets into that space where the cleats join. I don't know if I explained that well, so forgive my uncertainty as to the reasoning. Anyway, any thoughts on that? Just curious. Thank you for sharing your tips & tricks. I haven't gotten to my french cleats - yet - but I will one of these days. Just one of many projects I have planned. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@BitnerBuilt]

You are right many people do trim theirs, I had it on my ideas to share but never got to it. I personally don’t do it and haven’t encountered any issues but I totally understand why and agree it is nice not to have the sharp edge and allows for sawdust in the cleat to not throw you off. Thanks Andrea!

[@stevenharrison1406]

Hi. Thanks for sharing yiur wisdom on French cleats. I was confused over the 2in cut of the 5 inch piece. Then realised your table saw blade tilts the opposite way to mine which tilts towards the fence. So I guess I set the fence to 2 3/4 inches. Good video. Thank you

[@BitnerBuilt]

I’ve recently moved and now have more of a shop space rather than a garage. Putting a lot of though in how to mount stuff on wall’s instead of having most stuff in draws where it’s difficult at times to find needed tools. Just started looking into French cleats and this has by far been the most informative video. Just the fact that you ensure that 1/2” plywood as the back board is plenty strong enough, which helps keep money in my pocket (until I spend it on new tools). Much appreciated your time and will definitely watch more of your videos

Thank you so much. I just started woodworking after retiring from the military and of course not enough space in the garage for the tools so French Cleats are the solution. I am trying to combine the French Cleats with the already 10y old ELFA garage Storage kit we got at the Container Store which helped keeping the garage organized at that time back in 2010 as I had very few basic hand tools (drills, bits, hammers, screws, nails, boxes, containers, etc.); however, once starting woodworking and getting my dad’s tools after he passed away, the current storage is completely overwhelmed. Again, greatly appreciated showing how much you can do w/ French Cleats. I can’t wait to start building them!🙂

[@chipsterb4946]

For safety, could you use 2 feather boards pushing down in the board? One in front of the blade and one behind? The magnets for saws is really cool. Love the dado boxes too.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks. No never put a feather board behind the blade it can cause binding and that will shoot the board back at you! You can use a fence mounted setup like the jessem stock guides to apply downward pressure on the wood. Those would be very safe.

[@chipsterb4946]

@@BitnerBuilt I meant both featherboards mounted on the fence pointing downward. My thought was with the direction of the blade rotation, the upward pull would be greatest at the back of the blade, not in front. This is a good case for those $$$ Jessum rolling things. Your point is well taken but I know better than to push the kerf closed after the blade.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Sorry, I read your comment as putting a feather board behind the blade. 😳 Yes, you definitely could use both on the fence and that would work well. The rise is coming from the back of the blade.
