First thing I did when I bought my house 6 years ago was build a French cleat wall. Mine is in an unfinished garage with cinder blocks walls so I used Tapcon concrete screws and anchors. Highly recommend these for anyone doing something similar into concrete. I have a DIY sandpaper cabinet on my wall, but I made it a long time ago and it was made for square and rectangular sheets. Now that I use 5" and 6" discs, that cabinet is pretty much obsolete...oh wait...new project!!!

Good and consistent

Very nice job!!! And easy !!!💯👌👍

👏👏👏👍🇺🇾

Awesome jig and it didn’t cost a fortune.

Yep used this trick many a time, good tip

Wow, no rockler jig. Mind blown!🤯👍☯️☮️

LOL, I 100% need to do this! My shop looks like yours. :)

Thank you! I'm having the same dilemma right now. We built our house ourselves and put these exact windows in it. It's really disappointing to discover the rot. Your video is excellent!

Maybe I should have gone with this but after a dozen or so complete revisions I think I'm finally happy with where I've got things - until next time! Your wall is looking good and the decision to go with quality oak ply against a painted wall makes a big difference to the feel of it. Thanks for showing a full version of the build. I am curious about you having different angles on chisel sets HB, can you say something about it in a future video? I've never thought to do that. Thanks.

Awsome storage unit. Everything is at hands reach, that's great. Plus you can see all of your tools at a glance. My tool till is set up similarly, and it works good. When you finish, you will have a beautiful shop. Good Job !!!😘❤❤❤

Great addition to to shop, I love a shop job every so often, its normally something that can get done and dusted within a day and will normally give you a great shot of the feel good factor when completed, there’s something about doing something on the fly no plans just an idea and you go for it 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺

Build your own adventures are the best times in the shop!!!

Have never used splines to make face frames. Grew up in my dad‘s cabinet shop or we had a Mortise and a Tennon machine and that’s how we made all face frames. Now I use that or dowels. I like this process though.

Wonderful Addison to the shop for organizing on the wall. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Good craftspeople and a good communicator. I wonder if you are self-taught with your woodworking or did you learn some working for/with otgers?

J’ai bien aimé la vidéo,la manière de faire les différents éléments,l’atelier commence à prendre forme,bon courage,à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

Ambiente agradável o Seu muito Bom. Saudações do Brasil.

👍

Mola mucho.Gracias

Perfect timing! Can’t wait to get started.

When my table saw broke on me, the new one doesn't accept a dado stack. I miss that old saw!

Now I don't feel so bad about how my chisels look. I found mine in the barn after a year of not knowing where they are. All were rusted up and dull.

It must be the camera angle but even though you leveled it, it looks so crooked on camera. hehe. I have an extremely small shop and I have two french cleats. It's all I had room for.

I like the color of the wall

Good morning H. B. Just finished watching this morning’s video. Nice to see you giving yourself a well deserved project. Order and simplicity is something I believe we all wish we had in our own workshop’s. I know I could use a little more order in mine. Great system your using and versatility. Glad to see your shop coming together for you. Nice to know where go to grab the tool you want when you need it, and being able to find it. Enjoy your weekend!

I always love your dusty normal real working shop. The French cletes are great to bring units with tools for certain projects..it's cheaper then peg board

Love the simplicity of the French cleat. And the shot of the coffee can! Man, how my pop had so many filled with random nails, screws, bolts, nuts... Jealous of the satisfaction of getting organized. Suggestion-drill some small holes for epoxy in rare earth magnets so if you move any cleat like the chisels, they won't fall out and nic the blades or you. And a wipe on tung oil would look nice rather than paint or stain. Thank you for showing this project while busy with normal work...which is good!

Another great job, looks Awesome!

Looks good!

Hi HB, I have been thinking about a French cleet wall for a while. I think you may have convinced me, lol ! Have a great week HB Timothy

Great job Katie! Love seeing what others are doing with their tools & shop storage. When you get it all done maybe you can give us a shop tour.

I think I saw this movie before………oh well reruns are summer appropriate! Enjoy your weekend!

Way to honeybadger handle that cabinet solo!

Looking good

Thank you for sharing.

What sorcery is this!!?😅 is this how you build all face frames? I like it!

I really enjoy your videos. Simple, this is how I do it. I like it much better than the "you need this tool" or "this jigs is a game changer". How-to's on successful projects - that is gold!

It’s nice to have a client list so you can go from one project to the next. Your reputation must have followed you to your new location.

It's nice to see someone who still appreciates a good radial arm saw.

Great to see you starting a new project. Stay Safe, France

Good 👍

Love the use of the ratchet hold downs. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful Wednesday

If it holds together without glue, that's the sign of good joinery. At least, I think so.

My local salvage has hundreds of these and I have been looking at them with great interest. Your video inspired me to buy one and see how it works (so I too may become a maker of doors). By the way, why does it say Festool on your cement floor?

You are quick lol.

Great video. The threshold hardware looks great, I will have to remember that for future projects. I had to abandon double doors on my current project because of its exposure and water intrusion. I too will worry about that glass clearing up🤞. You referenced ’the book’ Would you share the link please?

Metal does expand and contract with 🔥 temperature ❄ (hence dilatation joints on bridge), if steel expands with humidity, then it's rust and it won't contract back 😅 Nice table 👍

Cutest maker on KZfaq. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
