French cleats that lock in place woodworking project

[@HouseDoctorRay]

A few cleat ideas kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqnipukfLmKb5Isi=dC7bCAlaBx86yE7l

[@Alphasig336]

Use 3/4 cleats and you won’t have 1/10 the problems. You have less than 1/4 of area for the cleat to grab

[@HouseDoctorRay]

For what I'm hanging ¼" plywood is fine. Most of my big stuff is in a drawer or cabinet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqnipukfLmKb5Isi=nqNt6HxDXr99XzrB

[@jeromehauss8228]

Why do you not put simple embedded rotating inserts on the lower side of the cleat, so that you are still able to fix heavy things on it ?

[@HouseDoctorRay]

That might work.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Very nice cabinet you made. I like the double layer. As far as the French cleats go, you should see "At a Glimpse" channel on how he makes his French cleats. As far I am concerned, he's the king of FCS. Those that you made with the shim blocks on either side maybe good for very lite weight items like screw drivers, but I would never use that size to hold a powertool on. The edge is going to become brittle over time, and splinter off. I wouldn't go any smaller than 1/4"-6mm or 3/8-8.6mm. I use this method so they are easily movable if I want to add more items. I've also hung cabinets with them but I used 5/8" plywood. To hang them on. I would have used 3/4", but at the time, my supplier was out.

[@HouseDoctorRay]

I'll check out the channel. Thanks.

[@kfayayay2674]

French cleat is made for NOT having to insert anything from the side. And your idea is an idea, but not as a french cleat at all. And you will not be able to put any heavy thing on it.

[@kfayayay2674]

@@HouseDoctorRay Sorry if i have been rude, not my intention. your idea is interesting, but not with this thickness.

[@HouseDoctorRay]

I abandoned that Idea and went with standard cleats. I did use 1/4" plywood and it works fine with the tools I have put on them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqnipukfLmKb5I

@@HouseDoctorRay juste saw your video. Yes, for chisel and so on, it totally deserve it 👍

[@SteveHiott]

Whats the model of your table saw you used ?

[@HouseDoctorRay]

DWE7480 It came with a rolling stand (DW7440RS). All of the DW job site saws are similar and rated well. Mine can't take a dado blade but some can. If you're thinking about a rolling stand check out the Harbor Freight stand, lots of good reviews.

[@SteveHiott]

thanks for the quick reply have safe and Happy New Year. @@HouseDoctorRay

[@brucelavis4934]

nobody but nobody addresses the issue of shop dust covering your cleat items. Cabinets with sliding doors will solve the problem. Door panels could be lexan for visibility. Your thoughts

[@HouseDoctorRay]

That is why I built this cabinet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3rQe5iXbbN5hdE

[@jamesgould6001]

How wide is the spacing cleat? Also I thought the other video showed the tool holders cut at a different angle? Please advise. Thank you!

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

Very cool out of the box thinking. Thnx.

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Thank you

[@BuildswithBrian]

Pretty clever idea, and I really enjoyed the new video format 👍

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Thanks. My producer said the less I talk the better the videos are.

[@Bravo-ry9st]

Total infomercial in the beginning.😂

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Identify the problem, propose a solution.

[@bcwalker1]

Cool! Have you tried hanging anything heavy on those thin cleats?

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Not yet! But keep in mind plywood is the strongest thing in the world.

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

@@HouseDoctorRay Second only to a woodworks "mansmell"!

[@guillaumelombard]

My entire workshop is made out of French cleats(all the shelves and even my workstation) - it s very strong, can hold my weight easily.

[@agentchodybanks9120]

That's 3/16 material and I would not recommend using such thin material. There's a reason nobody else does

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Yes it was 5mm Luan. I'm stepping it up to 1/4" for my cabinet. For me 3/4" is overkill.

[@naturabella2249]

Ciao. Interessandi, ma lo spesdore delle french cleat che hai tagliato sono molto sottivi. Per contenere un certo peso di alcuni utensili il minimo dovrebbe essere tra 15 e 18 mm. Difatti le mie sono 28mm tengo anche utensili pesanti. È un sonsiglio. La chiusura block é una idea ottima. Saluti. Modesto

[@athief]

Not only it's a terrible idea, but the work quality is absolutely appalling. I conclude this is just a troll.

[@dirkhaar2243]

That is ridiculous. That isn't "easy to remove". At least you could put a dowel in those stoppers. I've never seen someone with a table saw plus saw fence who manages to screw every single cut. 🤦‍♀ You could've used a dull hand saw and won't see a difference - that might have avoided sharp edges, though...

[@sissyw3]

Its the double cabinet for me

[@HouseDoctorRay]

😁 There's a video for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3rQe5iXbbN5hdEsi=MLfZTX0PeuAenRVP

[@justaguyonthefly]

Nice concept but you failed miserably by starting your first cut without a 90° edge!

[@adiadrian1758]

Very good ideea !

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Thank you.

I’ll swerve that one … far too much messing around for me…. Don’t have the time.

There is a lot of sense in filtering water to wash your car. Hell i would use deionized water if i could

[@HouseDoctorRay]

You're probably right. I almost never wash the cars.

[@subbab4]

Stopped watching as soon as I saw that you couldn't even cut a straight rip on your saw. WTF

5mm Luan. When I do my cabinet I'm going to us 1/4". I've always thought 3/4" cleats was overkill. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZW0aoZjerZ_oLM

[@tommac5411]

PLEASE edit for length. We do not need to see every cut. Otherwise a great instructional video.

[@dontdomeboo81]

or you can fast forward 😂

[@buchanan553]

I am glad he did not edit for length. I wanted to see every cut. You’re welcome.

[@db2474]

Or you can have your own channel and do what the F you want and shut the F up with someone else’s content 🤡.
