[@williamodom2580]

Just a suggestion, I would add a rolling ladder like they install on tall bookshelves in libraries to access the high areas

[@ronperkins1676]

That would be a good build for YT.

[@paddyboy6155]

Or a cherry picker !

[@suzannehofer2541]

But it, 6’4” there’s not a lot he can’t reach.

[@GCarterStokum]

Yeah, was thinking the same once i got a sense of scale of his space there! and I think that would make for excellent YT viewing in his builds format!

[@Bapuji42]

amazing build! im a carpenter from egypt

[@Ac-om9ok]

Love your content . Heads up from 🇵🇱 Poland 🇵🇱

[@Mandalawi1987]

LOVED THIS! Respect from Canada for my Yankee brother 07

[@scotter_dotter]

This is the best French cleat wall. Love the magnets! Appreciate all the planning and design work.

[@drakkina]

I love watching things come together like this.. perfect playback speed. And thanks for teaching me what a gusset is.

[@joepearson9704]

THanks. I have just started a french cleat section on my wall. Starting to realize I may need to expand it. Seeing the different shelves helps a lot.

[@StuWards]

Very nice! I do prefer your design and the way you've taken account of weight and torque. Excellent! Rgds Stu - Auckland New Zealand

[@RisenSunAcrylics]

Love your channel and this French cleat project is awesome! Though I currently live in Chicago, I am originally from North Macedonia and proudly display both flags in my small shop area that has extremely high ceilings. I plan to do something similar and store tools that are used less often in the high-to reach areas. Thanks and keep building!

[@user-mj7jb1hi3r]

I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have used French Cleats for years and find them practical and ingenious to store all my tools.

[@tlavanshoemaker6637]

Shoe here from Greenville, NC. Just built a new house and finally have a real shop that doesn't have to share time as a garage. Good info and creativity. I'll surly use more than one idea for my own French Cleat wall. ECU Pirates territory.

[@balazslakatos9817]

finally a french cleat video, just what I needed.

[@drrachelblackie2976]

I love French cleat system. I used it to mount an old painted surfboard to a wall. Thanks for reminding me of their amazingness! From 🇳🇿 New Zealand (slightly different to the Australian flag 😅)

[@darrellsr0526]

Awesome job Zack. Love the wall. I am building mine now and will definitely use your ideas!!!

[@harperparks9056]

You work so smart for such a young guy. I’m twice your age and learning new things watching you. The flag idea is great as well, I admire your inclusiveness.

[@janeroberts5098]

We’ve just ordered your plans for the workbench and mitre saw bench. Really looking forward to repurposing our garage into a woodworking shop & will definitely be having a French cleat walk. Thank you & greetings from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

[@edwardmckee7626]

Looks great. Clean looking & practical. Will be putting a scaled down version in my space.

French client walls are awesome I love mine, yours looks freaken awesome. South Africa is where I’m watching your videos from. 🇿🇦

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow what an amazing wall looks amazing can’t wait to see it finished and the rest of the new shop

[@findingmy_di_why]

Just saw this video now from Australia. 🇦🇺 love the French cleats.

[@rickmunn7356]

Excellent idea with the flags. I’m from Jamaica currently living in British Columbia, Canada. I’d love to see my Jamaican on your wall. I also really like your French cleat wall.

[@stewartmorrison2080]

Incredible, will be doing this for my garage at home in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cyrilnorrie8450]

I’m Canadian (not French Canadian), but I love French cleats(ha ha). I do have some on one wall, but they are spaced a lot farther apart(16”). After seeing yours, I’m going to add some in between. Thanks for sharing your great setup!

[@GregBrecker]

Liked the mix of build versus why, support types etc. I had forgotten the paper transfer trick for screw holes on battery chargers and the like. So nice to see you don't have to buy a mountain of cheap plastic or metal hangers. Just spin the wheel you already have in your head. Nice job!

[@cecapfishing9882]

Thank you so much for the teachings, greetings from Brazil!

[@Kadjius]

Hi Zack! Awesome project and definitely going to try it out on my little shop to save some space and avoid clutter. Greetings from Mexico!

[@CyberBobCity]

That might be the biggest french cleat wall I've ever seen!! You have some really cool tool holder designs too. Nice work!

[@talascola]

Awesome, No "BS". Straight to the point. Great edit. I'm using your system.

[@TJWorksWood]

Looks great! I am going to be french-cleating my garage wall this weekend!

[@vickyzhang7251]

Love you idea!!!

[@romeoaurelianvieru9288]

So , yours ideas found me ,here ,in Romania .and it is awesome : my hobbies are scale models ,including SI-FI world ,and electronics . Space and organizing , for any handyman , big problem , but not anymore : scale down your French cleat wall , is giving me the possibility of modular organization . I'm 60-th , and as you see never is late for ... anything . Keep it up !

[@johnpolen4090]

Very inspirational. Keep it coming from Palos Verdes, CA

[@zawkhinoo]

Hello Sir, I my name is Zaw Oo. I am from Burma. I am also a U.S Army veteran. you mentioned in the video that you will place the flags from all over the world. That tell me that you are not a prejudice person. Thank you for that. Love watching that French Cleats video. Salute you, Sir.

Great video, thank you for taking the time to post it. I'm going down the rabbit hole of french cleates and found your video really helpful.

[@aishora-di4fm]

Привет. Молодец! Я из России, Москва. Мне понравился твой подход к изготовлению разных держателей под инструмент. Мне кажется, что такой метод крепления инструмента, с возможностью его передвигать на другое место, в связи с требуемыми работами или с покупкой новых инструментов, самый лучший. Главное, иметь большой участок стены. К сожалению, не все могут себе такое позволить. Обязательно посмотрю другие ваши видео.

[@adriaanstruwig8581]

Best French cleat video so far, well done! From South Africa 🇿🇦
