Square Holder French Cleat - Build a Workshop #52

In this video I make a French Cleat storage shelf for my combination squares and speed square. I later also add my calipers to this shelf. Simple design with grooves that allow the tools to be slid along for storage.

Looks good, thanks brother!

[@OakAthainNerin]

Where have I been all my life 😂 I ask myself this question daily 😅

[@LandtoHouse]

HA same here. Always something new to learn.

[@m.seangriffin9096]

Great job!

[@grahamallen3941]

Love that so handy tool holder, great!🇬🇧

[@LandtoHouse]

I am so pleased with the French Cleat system so far.

[@talexsey]

Cool! 🤘🏻

[@jllaine]

First Order Accessibility - excellent

[@mail06513]

Great idea.

[@kodiham7532]

I like it, space saver too!

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes indeed. It has worked well over the past two weeks.

[@dmueller1875]

Awesome! thanks

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you for watching.

[@kitkeigwin6956]

Cool, I’m make one like yours but allow room for my tape measures too. I like your videos, you have a good vibe 👍

[@LandtoHouse]

Definitely good to have the tape measure up there. I built a separate shelf for the tape measure because I use it so often. Thank you for watching.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks.

[@boonphitphanthavong4334]

That is genius!

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. This one has worked really well!

[@stevel8980]

Good job

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you.

[@akivazohar2502]

Very nice, but have you thought of giving a slight bevel to the back to more securely keep them?

[@OakAthainNerin]

Where would the bevel go? On the cleat itself?

[@deanlang3894]

But great videos.... I subscribed 👍👍

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you!

[@garybrown6459]

Blindin!!

[@limestar9751]

Spent a few hours yesterday on a way more complex design that doesn’t function as well - lol. Now I’m off to redo it this way. 🤣

[@jespersandbjergnielsen1633]

It looks great, when do you start on the new workbench?

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. I started two days ago on the bench! The wall mounted one.

[@AJ-ms1vg]

Easy one could add section across top for L squares

[@fyrfyterChewE]

Do you have a video about your dust collection set up? I see your bucket on the wall behind you.

[@LandtoHouse]

Not yet. It needs a filter. :)

[@jamesgould6001]

Generally speaking, what's the dimension of the top shelf?

[@justinleppanen3864]

i like your videos. plus were are you located at

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. We are in the mountains of North Carolina.

[@stuartlanger6730]

Three questions... 1. What is the width of the cleat? 2. What is the distance you're using between cleats (and are you happy with that)? and 3. What do you think about using 1/2 ply instead of 3/4 for the cleats and the mating cleat on the holder? Thanks!

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you for watching. 1. Each cleat is approximately 3 1/2 inches high. This can be smaller depending on the weight of your tools. 2. The distance between cleats is around 4 in. As long as you can get your cleats into the gap this distance doesn't really matter. I'm very happy with that. No issues so far. 3. I feel like you will be disappointed with half inch cleats. Not as strong and not as much room 2 bite into. The angle on 3/4 inch plywood is approximately 1 in.

[@jllaine]

If you design the tool holders to sit below the cleat so that the weight is hanging from it like a hook instead of cantilevered out for efficient use of space then 1/2in stock would work fine, but you'd have to play around a bit with the wall cleat width and screw spacing to ensure it's stiff enough.

[@mikethewoodworker6194]

Can you post plans

[@LandtoHouse]

I actually do not have any plans. I just build things ha ha.

[@dillondavis9615]

Pinterest got some

[@deanlang3894]

Might want to lower the table saw blade. Lol. Isn’t the first rule of table saws is to have the blade just above your piece of wood 😂😂👍👍🤪🤪

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes I think that is a rule. Most of the time I do lower it to within 1/2" of the top. ... But I also forget often haha

[@goonboi7292]

Land to House I always lower the blade to less than 1/4” of my work piece. Just two weeks ago on New Year’s Eve, I was ripping down a 2x4, and I stupidly wasn’t using a push stick with my left hand. I tried to push the material against the fence behind the blade because I don’t have a splitter, well the material caught the blade and pulled the 2x4 back...and my left hand with it. My thumb went right over the blade, but it only went about 1/4” into my thumb. Literally I am so thankful that I had the blade height set responsibility, I would have one less finger. I almost have full mobility back already...and a $750 ER bill

[@LandtoHouse]

Looking back at this video I remember why the table saw is pushed up. That cut required less curved underneath. But normally it's a very good idea to have the blade as low to the piece as you can. Glad to hear that you have recovered. Sounds like a nasty injury.

[@ronmiller7916]

vise man, you need a vise

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes indeed. I have two of them now

[@renegadedug5372]

Could have covered this in 2 minutes. Good concept but just dragged on

[@LandtoHouse]

Absolutely. People with even a small bit of woodworking knowledge will find this one slow and boring. But those that are just starting off oftentimes enjoy step by step videos.

[@renegadedug5372]

Land to House didn’t want to come across as negative. Short and sharp video would really nail it

[@LandtoHouse]

No worries. I guess you could set the video to fast speed haha
