Oh my God - I am a 49-year-old engineer feeling monumentally stupid right now that I have never seen or thought of this method! I am going to implement the system immediately. Thank you, sincerely, for bringing this to my attention. I am subscribing because of this, the first video I have seen of yours. Looking forward to more.

[@greglawrence742]

Chris, you've answered a headache I've been wrestling with for ever, how to set fence for 45 degree cuts. Huge shout out! Also, full French cleat wall is next project in my 1 bay garage that has 3 bays of material and tools in it. Can't wait to see it come to fruition. Love the vids, please keep them coming.

[@JP-mq7pg]

Agreed, thats a great take away from this video on setting up for ripping the 45deg cut. I just completed my own fench cleat tool wall and used the trial and error method to find the center of the board. I now have the knowledge for the next time I have to use this cut.🙄

[@AGlimpseInside]

Well I can help. Hope you get to those projects as soon as possible Greg. As always thank you

[@carnright]

I suspect the answer is a trigonometry one. Sine of angle times width and cosine of angle times thickness, something like that 😁

[@johnlee7085]

No need for trig functions. What is missed though, and sorta corrected for, is the kerf. It’s half the width of the board minus half the thickness of the wood minus half the width of the saw blade.

[@SpecificLove7]

That last trick shot was just Awesome!

[@AGlimpseInside]

I challenge you to do it in a video as well bro. Let’s see what you got

[@SpecificLove7]

@@AGlimpseInside ok, I will have to think about that one. It would need to be a good one.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

I use a French cleat system for a "wall Edsel" to paint my artwork on, its great to hang larger paintings and move stuff around on, makes viewing and storing works in progress so easy!

[@KatanaKamisama]

Did you mean easel? Isn't an Edsel an old car that was a flop? I'm sure it was just a typo, but entertaining none the less.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Siri gets me all the time like this. Yes the Ford Edsel believe was named after Henry Ford’s son and it was so loaded up with chrome it was Tacky.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Quite possibly it was Henry Ford’s father. I don’t know either one

[@rickdeckard1075]

@@AGlimpseInside you mean it was so loaded up with chrome that you didnt need crumple zones...

[@fredjeannieschultz1251]

Great video. I too set up a French cleat system in my shop, backed by two 4x8 sheets of plywood. I spaced my cleats 4" apart so that I wouldn't need the spacers. I also saved about a 4" section of cleat that I use to set up the table saw each time I need to cut more cleats. That saves me having to redo the math each time.

[@Bradimus1]

I actually used french cleats to put up wall hanging cabinets. I laminated two 3/4 pieces of plywood and cut a set for each cabinet. This let me hang each one at a time and bolt them together after getting them on the wall. This also left me the 1 1/2" space between the cabinets and the wall to run cables. It's my entertainment center upstairs.

[@GrantOakes]

You're too cool for words! Love the ending! One thing I might add is I've built a 4X 2'x4' modular workbench and on one of them I'm going to make a strong cleat shelf to put my cheap, 10" Harbor Freight table saw on so I have a run off table for sheet goods. At the bottom I'll have a key to prevent the table from being accidentally lifted off. Look at the 5:20 mark and see the small space between the bottom of the tool holder and the bottom of the cleat. You can make a slightly smaller strip of plywood to insert there and it'll prevent the holder from sliding up accidentally. A slight ridge cut in the key will give you something the grab and pull it out.

[@billinfarmington5189]

I never have enough wall space in my garage. And, I keep moving. Generally, built-in items become part of the property when you sell your house. So, about 15 years ago, I made 4 double door cabinets to go above my workbench and used french cleats to hang them. I always recess the french cleats on cabinets so that the sides are always flush with the sheetrock. I hang the wall mounted portion with two lag bolts and put the cabinets up. Because each move results in a different position for the studs in relation to the cleats, the wall portion ends up with multiple holes after several moves. But, I only have to lift the cabinet off the cleat and remove the two lag bolts to move. And, trust me, they hold a LOT of weight. If I ever get called on removing the cabinets, I can honestly say the cabinets were never attached to the wall and at worst leave the wall mounted cleat in place and just rip 2 more pieces to mount the four cabinets in the new garage.

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

I would just make it clear to prospective buyers that the shop will be completely empty once I sell.

[@billinfarmington5189]

Absolutely! Moved 3 times since then and pulled and moved the cabinets. And, I also used french cleats in some cabinets in the house and let the owner know how they were attached so they could move/remove them if they wanted.@@SnootchieBootchies27

[@carlduggan4058]

Great video. Rehabbing my deceased dad’s shop - it became a sad place of misplaced tools; organization is the first thing I’m thinking about including sheathing the whole thing.

[@stevegoodwin4471]

I'm a long-time Frech cleat user. Learned a couple of new things and totally enjoyed your video. Loved the "kiss for luck" from your daughter... works every time. Thanks

[@MLFranklin]

This is really useful. Now I know I need the widest ones.

[@okcwilly]

I have built shelving and Curtin Rod Valances for several years using French Cleats for others. I however, I have 20 feet of 1/4" Pegboard above one of my work benches, as some habits are hard to break. I also have made about 50 pegboard specialty hooks, and I have about $500.00 worth of hangers, clips, hook locks, etc. and do not want to just throw them away. That said, I am building an 8' x 12' wall of French Cleats for tools and a few supplies to get started. Thank you for sharing the three types of Cleats that you use. You have given me plenty to work with. Loved you including your daughter as well.

[@samspade4634]

What a great video. You have answered many questions that I had (as well as some I didn't yet, but probably would run into). I also wanted to let you know your great personality comes out in your videos. You are the kind of guy that makes others feel welcome and at ease. What a great gift you have Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@ManCrafting]

Dude. That last shot at the end. Money. I am a total sucker for organization videos. Mostly because I feel so disorganized. I actually have some French cleat material cut up and ready to use it, and believe it or not I feel like it’s such precious space I’m struggling to start. I know I know. Now that this is out there. I’ll need to do it.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thanks Chad I appreciate you my friend.

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

The look on your face when you nailed that last shot is priceless!!!! 👍🏽

[@AGlimpseInside]

I honestly couldn’t believe it

[@hootinouts]

I've used this system for hanging wall cabinets. You can't go wrong with it.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Truth, is this statement

[@aaronhunter1981]

Man...your comedic relief is great. Like what you said at 9:39. Awesome video and amazing shot at the end!

[@AGlimpseInside]

I’m still waiting for those pics to come in LOL

[@tedhall2277]

Another great video! However, when I was making my cleat system for my shop, I tried using 1x2 material and it was a disaster! when I would cut the 45 deg. angle on the edge of each board they would banana big time. So to your viewers who are thinking of using french cleats please use plywood, it is much more stable!

[@MarkPrimavera]

Thanks Ted for that information, i was just thinking of using 1X6 softwood to save money but know I'm going to go back to using birch plywood, even though it costs a fortune here in Ontario, Canada.

[@kevinnickel7529]

Did you let the wood sit for a few weeks to get seasoned to the humidity of your shop?

[@richardribando9014]

I’ve watched many videos on French cleats and yours is the best explanation of how and why to use this system! Thanks!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you for watching and letting me know. Means a whole lot

[@SonnyCider]

I set this up in my small shop. its fantastic. whatever specialty tools you need for your project, they go right in front of you. Great looking shop, Chris.

[@johnlloyd2642]

Chris, I have never seen anyone SOOOO excited about French (or ANY) type of cleat!! But your video should carry a health warning......cos its infectious! I laughed aloud at the end, not just at your trick, but your reaction was priceless!! We all benefitted from your daughter bringing you good luck! You've made my day buddy, thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍

[@Reb56x3]

Just found your video and it’s the best explanation I’ve come across on KZbin. Really appreciate the example of cutting the boards with the 45.

[@Cj12sings]

The cleat throw at the end was indeed EPIC .!!!

[@lionelborges8094]

Lionel here in California. A few years ago I came to me about the 45 degree cleat hanger. Didn't do anything with it. Little did I know it was a thing. Really liked the video. Your passion for this system and explanation of different types of French cleats along with the functionality of each one is great. Now I am jazzed. Keep doing the videos the same way, with the laughs and the enjoyment factor. Thanks.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you Lionel. I appreciate you letting me know and I hope you’re all doing well over there with those crazy fires right now stay safe

[@coleve8596]

Another great instructional video. Here in the UK it brings back memories when we see someone using the old imperial system of measurement. Adding and subtracting eights and quarter of an inch etc. When I visit my son in Texas I bring my metric measuring tape with me. I notice your table saw has metric on it. Try a build using millimetres only, you will not go back to inches. An example would be try adding four and three sixteenths plus two and three eights and subtract one and three quarters. Now try 10 millimetres plus 5 millimetres minus 3 millimetres. On the last visit I went to the Home Depot and they are now selling metric tapes. Keep up the very professional videos. Love them.

[@AGlimpseInside]

I don’t disagree. Metric is so much more intuitive. But someone like me who grew up with imperial it feels so natural even though it probably isn’t

[@johnbrougheriii1621]

The U.S. attempted to convert to the metric system decades ago. It was an utter failure. There is no hope for us here, where the "football field" is a legitimate unit of measurement...as in "That aircraft carrier is over 3 football fields long". But then again, we would never have to deal with measuring speed in "furlongs per fortnight" either.

[@woodlandbeauty]

Holy smokes! I've watched several of your videos in the past few days. SO to the point, yeah some welcome joking but no messin' around in getting the point across. I love your sequencing, quick instruction, and style. Your family is super lucky to have a great man with a huge brain and a big heart. Keep em coming!!!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Wow thank you so very much !!!

[@vtellez01]

Thanks for the math lesson. I am just starting to put my French cleat wall together. I now know how to setup my table saw. Great tip. I have been reviewing FCW videos for about 3 weeks and I haven’t seen how to calculate the cleat cut until now!

[@tracybrislin]

OK you had me with the french cleat ! Then the reasoning behind the width divided x 2 + 1/2 the thickness for accurate half and half (genius) ! Including your Daughter in the no look, behind the back cleat toss, priceless! Thank you!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you as well I appreciate the wonderful feedback. Hope you have a great day

[@normandodson5079]

Dry cool trick at the end! Love it! These videos on French cleats are great. I’m definitely going to use this idea.

[@MBGAdventures]

Once I get my dream shop, I will be doing french cleats for sure. Awesome system. The throwing the cleat trick was amazing! Great video again Chris!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you so much. I hope you’re able to get that shop sooner than later

[@ChrisBloom]

Chris, on the 45 degree measurements, you are correct...I figured this out building my french cleat wall. However, one caveat is that it depends on which way your blade tilts. Mine tilts to the right, so I have to ADD 1/2 thickness. If your blade tilts to the left, you SUBTRACT 1/2 material thickness.

[@AGlimpseInside]

This is very true. But keep in mind that you want the blade to tell away from your face at all times for safety reasons. The propensity for the material to bind up in between that 45 and the fence is a bit too precarious for me my friend. But yes you’re right I should’ve detail that a little bit more I just thought I was being a little too long-winded LOL

[@howabout.no.]

This confused me. I couldn't understand what he was saying about the equation to get the 2 identical pieces at 45°.. could i get it in writing? My brain cant absorb info if it's spoken fast lmao I love this system and I want it in my shop!!!

[@cowboy930]

Man you so 😁 like you video you are a cool dude and not a boring wood worker keep them videos coming thanks much for sharing you knowledge and tips .

[@RADCOMJ1]

Love your energy and enthusiasm. Appreciate the top tips too...I wasnt sure whether I should break off the sharp edge of the cleat and no other video advised it.

[@kevinwthornton]

Chris, I've also seen one other style of French Cleat that doesn't use the 45 degree angle at all. Instead, each cleat is two layers - one shorter support block, then the vertical board that the individual boards mount into. The two blocks are flush on the bottom and the front vertical board between 50-100% higher than the support block. The major advantage I've seen with that style is you can also use right angle metal hangers (like door hangers for wreaths) to hang things. Less work at the table saw since you don't need to cut the 45, but more work since you need twice as many pieces to put it up. I also suspect the 45 can take more stress than the right angle because gravity pulls everything closer to the wall instead of applying torsion to the cleat if there is a gap.

[@AGlimpseInside]

That’s absolutely true I had seen that years ago but I completely forgot. Thanks for reminding me. You’re just giving me another idea for another option maybe for another video

[@craigrmay7935]

Chris, it is always a pleasure to watch cha videos. LOVED the ending !!! You're always excited and passionate about what your explaining, and speaking of explaining...you do a great job explaining. May FATHER GOD continue to bless, keep, and use you as HE sees fit in the precious name of JESUS, Amen.

[@darrenhopper5343]

Great explanation of the different cleats.

[@tippo5341]

Can see the halves straight off the back of the saw...the theory was spot on :) I've got a cleat system on a brick wall, minimal holes (good as I'm in a rental property), and it's randomly spaced across the wall, have some close by where i do the bulk of my work, and the others are located where I store all the tools, fixings etc etc, so I can move whatever is project specific to the work area. Cheers from Aus!!!!

[@loydalexander154]

That is great I've been useing cleats for years to hang mirrors pictures ect in my house love them

[@pepperman9]

1. I am not sure if you know about the place, but it's called Imeca and is located on Normandy Blvd @ Lenox Ave. Best prices for cabinet grade plywood and cabinet supplies. 2. I burn so much 4", 5" & 6" ¾" birch ply that if you ever need some just come get it, I live 20 minutes from the Westside. 3. Really digging your videos, no nonsense straight forward stuff.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

I’m about to French cleat my entire garage. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

[@Rich32262]

So many applications. My deal is constantly adding tools to my shop (mostly hand tools). My original hand tool cabinet has very specific locations for each plane, spokeshave, chisel, etc. When replaced or new ones added I'm SOL since glued and screwed. Next tool cabinet will have small French cleats in it then I'd only have to replace the one cleat to accommodate the new tool.

[@davetaylor2088]

Just put cleats up for my garden tools - I used the big ones with the holders made out of 90x45mm pine and rake handles for the tool rests. The 2.5kg sledge is still on the cleat after 3 days so I must have done something right! Love the trick shot - I'd be getting your daughter to pick your lottery numbers if I were you!

[@paullobwein1632]

Nailed it! That’s awesome man. Love the explanation I was not aware of the proper way to do them or why

[@lindamarsden8024]

Your videos are excellent, I love, love, love French cleats. Especial for hanging upper cabinets as well as organizing.

[@n4xyy]

French cleat... who knew!? I was about to drop some serious bucks on heavy iron brackets to mount my somethat heavy surround speakers on the wall of my new media room creation. Wow, the French cleat will solve my problem. I'll mount about a 1 1/2" cleat along the top back of my speaker, then attach the mating cleat to cover the entire back of the speaker. I can stain them black and poly-urthane them before mounting and they will be invisible but do the job in spades! I'll send you some pics when I have the job done. Thanks again!

[@johnlee7085]

I made a fcw for hanging whiteboards in the homeschool room. That way my daughter can easily take it down to work on it but hang it up to discuss it / mom-teacher request. In reality, they never come down but was a really easy way to hang perfectly level frames.

[@Wackywoodworks]

I use the french cleat in my basement... in my last video I mounted a spindle sander ... and will be making a bench extention using the french cleats where I n swap the any of the tools too use...

[@aaroncarey7209]

[@Matt_224]

I didn't know that little math trick to the cleats. But I'm gonna write it down so I never forget it. Thanks.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Yeah it’s a good one! Essentially it’s half of the width minus half of the thickness. I guess I could’ve made it that simple in the video LOL

[@jessjulian9458]

You introduce me to the French cleat system a long time ago. I use it because I can't find anything in my shop. Now I just look at the walls until, oh yeah there it is. I have block walls so I hang plywood then a 1"x4" cleat fill it up and hang another one. Didn't get to see the little princess, but that's okay I learned something. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and cleat system my friend. Hope you are doing well and staying safe. That was cool at the end. New game, throwing the cleat boards. Think l will try it tomorrow.

[@AGlimpseInside]

You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind words I hope it all works out for you

[@joebachman9279]

I have my belt sander hanging on my french cleat system. I've had the sander mounted on a board so I can use it sand side up while it sits on a bench. I can now use it while it is on the wall for sanding simple items. For more intense sanding, I lay it on the bench and clamp it down.

[@joebachman9279]

Also, instead of having a cleat board for every tool, I have 12" x 20" pieces of plywood that I mount similar tools together on one board. Example, all of my squares, crescent wrenches, spring clamps, etc., have their own board. Currently I have 27 feet of these 12" wide boards and the linear consistent look is very clean and organized. Basically, how much stuff can you get on a 12" x 20" board.

[@azza1946]

haha this is gold! new channel needed for Workshop Trickshots now i reckon. Lovin your videos while stuck in lock down man, keep it goin!

[@bobsmith3790]

LOL!! That was perfect!! Thanks Chris….wonderful video. Fortunately I learned about French cleats ‘before’ I hung my first cabinet.

[@bobbg9041]

On your cleat system the one key feature is you can make cabnets floor or wall or both and have the option to change your shops layout without too much work to find a better work flow. However the slat wall system is just as good and both are an upgrade to pegboard walls.. Neat thing is you move all you have to do is remove the cleats and fill the screw holes.

[@davidfeinberg5599]

A daughter's luck is the best there is !!! Great vid.... Awesome shot !!!

[@joshuagrafton8781]

I love your videos and also how you always make time for the family. So Awesome. I had a corner on my wall that stuck out so I painted it blue and added stars and created a Flag. Don't know how to add pictures otherwise I would have done that. I love the French Cleat set up and I used the narrow spacing.

[@jayescreations489]

I will be doing the french cleat. I have drywall in my shop.

[@CBCITALY]

Dude you got me hooked. I’ve been trying to come up with a better way of using the space above my miter station and be able to see my tools. I have been using drawer banks on top of my work surface but it seams like I can’t find what I’m looking for when I need it or it takes me too long to find it. For a point of reference, I modified DIYTyler’s station to work for my situation. Since I moved houses I now have a different space to work with so I’m going with regular draw banks for my base cabinets and the French clear system for all of my walks. I really like the system aspect so it can change and be modified over the years and as things change for me and then it won’t be a static set up. Thanks again for the ideas and help. I went and watched almost all of your FC videos. I went back and watched one of your original videos of you before you had am your beard. Talk about a difference.

Hi from Australia. Just found your channel and love your energy and enthusiasm. Yours is the first and only channel I've subscribed to although I've been lurking in several for a few months now. I'm just getting back into wood 40+ years after high school carpentry. My shop is a brick walled garage. Would you recommend lining a wall with a plywood sheet before adding cleats?

[@AGlimpseInside]

Thank you so much for being here. So happy to hear I got connections down Under now LOL. I would definitely recommend putting a few sheets of plywood up probably with some type of expansion bolt or tap con and then go to town with the cleats

Best French cleat vid on KZbin. Period. Love your style man. I’m a fan
