I purchased a Milwaukee M18 grinder with paddle switch a month ago and decided to make my first french cleat holder for it. Yours was one of the first videos I watched on how to do it. Being a Tool and DieMaker with 54 years of experience, I'm used to over designing and quite adept at making a mountain out of a mole hill, so I moved on to other KZbin videos that suited my style of building. After spending the last month totally frustrated with the hangers everybody else were building I came back to your video tonight and in the space of about 20 minutes built yours, hung my grinder on it, and learned a valuable lesson. It works PERFECTLY, is stable, trustworthy, and the materials used were free from scraps I had laying around. The only change I made was to accommodate the thickness of my grinder shield. Subscribed, and looking forward to your ideas for other things!

Welcome aboard, and great story! Very glad you like our design enough to build it. We try to make things simple because they are easier to build and maintain. I spent 20 years in software development and definitely identify with the desire to build complex things, but I've found simple often works better and requires less future maintenance. We'll keep building stuff and hopefully you will find something else that will work for you!

Super simple and effective. I will build something similar. Thank you

[@AtomicDairy]

I like simple! Easier to make and less ongoing maintenance, which both appeal to my lazy side.

[@GlennBrockett]

This is the reason I like French Cleats. Storage solutions are easy to make and easily moved to the area you want them.

[@AtomicDairy]

Exactly! We can reconfigure the shop any time we want, or for any project. Love the flexibility!

[@michaelscholtis440]

Great to see you posting new videos, been missing your brand showing DIY stuff.

[@AtomicDairy]

Thank you! We've had an active last few months but we're back in the shop doing things again!

[@Cliffepoos]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@AtomicDairy]

Glad I could help! We like simple design and ease of use!

[@lesblack413]

A place for the spanners to remove the grinding wheels probably would have been a good idea to include in the build. I'm always misplacing mine. Cheers mate from Australia.

[@AtomicDairy]

Good tip, and you are absolutely correct! I ended up adding a magnet to hold that after I made the video. It fit perfectly on the upper left part of the holder. Can't believe I forgot to do that in the original build!

[@chadmcalvert]

This video was my introduction to your channel, and I’ve since watched them all. Y’all are awesome, and a real inspiration. (And I did make the angle grinder holder, among others.) May the Force be with you.

[@AtomicDairy]

Awesome! Thank you! I hope the grinder holder works for you like it has for us! We just used that grinder to build two animal leg stools and having all of the grinder wheels close at hand was super nice. And thank you for noting the importance of Star Wars references. This means we can be friends!

Superb video George U.K.

[@AtomicDairy]

Thank you! Hope it helped with your project!

[@ronswoodshack3855]

Nice work!! Thank you for the content

[@AtomicDairy]

Glad you liked it!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Love this system. Super versatile and efficient. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@AtomicDairy]

Glad you like it! It was easy to make but it got the grinder off the bench and onto the wall!

[@travist444]

Today I learned I grind as a lefty. Even though I am right handed.

[@AtomicDairy]

Whatever works! We switch hands on a regular basis but do better doing it the way you do it.

[@acvieluf]

Great vid, im using your design tonight! Help me out, I cannot for the life of me place what video game that music at 5:14 is from? Galaga?

[@AtomicDairy]

Galaga. Definitely Galaga. And you will love this tool holder!

[@acvieluf]

@@AtomicDairy thanks!

[@wendylambert2717]

What face mask are you using for sanding? It looks very small. I want one!

[@AtomicDairy]

It's an Elipse P100 Dust Mask and it absolutely rocks. Small but extremely effective, and comfortable to wear.

[@alalineman1]

Here is you and idea i haven't saw in practice.....A French Cleat Pegboard....I know mind blown,right?

[@AtomicDairy]

That could upset the space time continuum!

[@GlennBrockett]

It can come in handy. Pegboard has it's uses.
