- WARNING: Don't watch this video unless you plan getting pumped to make your own French cleat tool holders. Watch me knock this build out of the park!
I love making French cleat tool holders! Welcome to part 1 of 2 videos where I build 5 French cleat tool holders! My garage workshop is slowly coming together and I recently built this French cleat wall to store all, or at least most of my tools. Check out that video as well…..it’s a must see!
Is there a better way than French cleat storage solutions? I say there is not! In this video you get to see me build a tool holder for my Ryobi 18 gauge brad nailer, Ryobi 16 gauge finish nailer, and scroll saw holder. I also made a really cool tool holder for multiple hand tools and accessories. It has dividers to keep them all organized and separated. I don’t show this in the video but afterwards I went and made even smaller dividers for the really small tools like my mini screw drivers. I even put storage shelves underneath the holder for the scroll saw and for the multiple tool holder.
Of course this is a video about how to make 5 French cleat tool holders, but I only make 3 in this video and show off a 4th (16 gauge finish nailer). Be on the lookout for my next video in which I will be showcasing the build of 2 more tool holders………….and don’t be surprised if I throw in a bonus tool holder for the diehards out there.
The great thing about having a French cleat storage system is that I get to build all sorts of different tool holders. I love the creativity it allows and the diversity of tool holder options. The holders can be very versatile yet inexpensive at the same time. Most can be made of scrap wood. It’s nice to be able to clear up some of that clutter!
Since these French cleat holders are just for storing my tools it allows me to make them really fancy, or just plain and simple. Since they will be hanging in my garage, they will be covered in dust most of the time from all of my other projects. How do I clean them? Just spray them with air from my air compressor! And then magically brand new again.
So sit back and relax and enjoy the show. Also, don’t forget to subscribe and ring the bell so you will always get notifications of when I release my next videos!

Thanks, never even considered the scroll saw. Only thing I didn't care for was the volume on the music. Had me popping back and forth on the volume knob. I'd appreciate lower volume on music. It's you I really wanted to hear. Thanks again
Thanks so much! Yes, I have received multiple comments about the music being too loud and I'm pretty sure I have fix that on my more recent videos. (Too bad I can't go back and fix this one). Sound levels have been the most challenging for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate you watching and your feedback. Cheers!
I love that you have a spot for all of the tools accessories! You never have to go digging for them again!
its a win win!
Great video. Very very helpfull for my hobby.
I’m glad it was helpful. 👍. Thanks for watching 😃

I kept waiting to see some 16 ga acupuncture on that thumb! Really really really like the holders for the nailers and accessories!
I'm so glad you liked them. I still have my thumbs....I've learned a few things since then😂
I like that you show your ‘miscalculations’ and rather than throw the wood in the fire box, you show your adjustments to make it work. New subscriber. I have the same table saw and was very disappointed the auger is too short for dado stacks! Nice projects! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the family! The tough part is choosing which of my many mistakes to showcase. If I showed all of them the videos would be way too long. I’m working on a power tool charging station right now for the cleat wall that I’m pretty pumped about. It’s pretty unique compared to the other stuff out there on CZcams....in my opinion. So keep an eye out for that one! I definitely could have used a dado stack for that project!
@@DudeSawdust I’ll keep my eye out for the charging station because I had found one on another channel, so I built it but I really don’t care for it so it’ll be great to see what you’ve dreamed up! I wish I’d known about the table saw when I bought it...because I’d have opted for the one with the longer arbor to accommodate dato stacks...I guess it’s more inconvenient than anything else...but I hate having to hit precise marks when a dato stack would nail it in one cut and no worries!! 👍🏻🇺🇸
@@keithrayeski3147 I'll give you a teaser....It has side mounting for the power tools, hidden wires with grommets, storage shelf with magnetic opening hinged door, recessed hidden magnets for sticking your favorite bits for quick and easy access. It's a small charging station but I don't have a ton of drills like some of these other woodworkers. Another thing I'm doing is painting it to match the tools. Hopefully it will be done this week, got delayed having to reorder the magnets.
@@DudeSawdust oh now THAT has got to be covered under the Geneva Convention for cruel and unusual punishment!!😁 I suppose I’d better make a run to the lumber yard now!!👊🏻🇺🇸
Nifty!!!
Thanks!
Love it. Good stuff
Thanks! Keep watching! More to come.
When building the accessory box for your brad nailer ( 1:48 ), if you had cut the dados before cutting it in two to make the sides, the dados would have been level.
Measure twice cut once, apart from that hiccup, you made a good job.
You’re right! I definitely learned from my mistakes. Thanks for watching!
Sound advise. Also, use the fence for both passes next time. It will help make your dados even with the others.
Lesson learned!
Craft sticks, aka tongue depressors make great shims too!
Great idea! Thanks
Top video, the music is awesome.
Thanks so much! Come back for more!
Really like the content, but your volumes need to be normalized- the music is WAAAY too loud, I’m riding the volume knob all the way through and it’s kinda frustrating with the kid in bed- i can’t hear what your saying!
Yes. Your input is spot on. I have work very hard at making it better. Try watching one of my newer videos. I believe I have solved the problem. Thanks for watching. And many thanks for commenting 👍
@@DudeSawdust I will do! Looking for cleat ideas as I’m just starting To set mine up. Cheers!
Great ideas!
13:59 BUTTERS! lol
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
LOL!
Great video! It would be awesome to get to see you doing some of the design/drafting too
I’ve been playing around with sketchup. I might use it in the near future in a video or two.
Wicked time consuming on a CZcams build video. I get what you’re saying but I’m wondering how many would rather just buy plans than have to mess with drafting them up. You’re a details guy!!😁
So I learned how to use sketchup months ago and when I went back to it recently I realized I forgot just about everything
Love this video, brother. Today, my brad nailer, jig saw, and reciprocating saws all getting homes and definitely will include the cubbies for accessories!!
If I provided any inspiration then it’s all totally worth it! Thanks so much 👍. I’m so glad you enjoyed it
@@DudeSawdust you 100% did!
nice job. I may just build a few of those just changing my shop to a cleat system.
Can't go wrong with the cleats! I have so many more tool holders that I want to build and show on this channel but I have been these other projects that keep coming up. Thanks for watching and have fun with your cleats!
Today I’m drinking SEVEN LARGE CUPS OF COFFEE and I’m doing it NOW!!!!!
I actually laughed out loud reading your comment
The circular saw holder looks awesome. Do you have a video for it? I'm very new to making things and power tools
Welcome to the trade/hobby! I’m glad you like the circular saw holder. Unfortunately I did not make a video on it. Nor do I have plans. It’s a pretty simple build. I bet if you just customize something to the size of your saw and let it sit at 45 degree angle with a slot for the blade to sit in and storage for blades underneath….then that is pretty much what I built. Good luck!!🍀👍
Never saw a razer blade and hammer trick before....nice! Agreed you must think about the ancillary items like the nails.... very nice holder for the nailers. Also thinking similar, have a small garage in so cal, hang less used item higher. You have great ideas! Thanks!
I’m glad I could help! I had a ton of fun making all of it. I still have a lot more tool holders to build for future videos
That scroll Saw tool holder is a beast. Good video bro!
Thanks my friend! And it’s just as strong as it ever was. 👍
Very creative ideas. You are spot on to show your mistakes and how you resolved them. Anyone getting into this hobby or line of work and expecting perfection from the start is delusional, lol. Take it from me, after 50 years, I still occasionally make mistakes. I too like that the accessories for each tool are alongside them. The holder for the wrenches, screwdrivers, and other hand tools might become an issue. It sticks out too far from the wall and you or your son that popped up earlier ;>) is going to hit it. Just a word of caution, for any holders lower than your head, be mindful of that possibility. Looking forward to part two!
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I'm a huge fan of the cleat system. I made those holders about 2 years ago and they have held up well. The the tool holder that sticks out far actually hasn't been a problem at all. I was concerned like you that I might run into it. But since I have hung it over to the side it has not been a problem. Fortunately my garage shop is not a tight space which helps as well. I intend to make more tool holder builds in the future. Cheers!
Nice video bro! 👍
Thanks! I got many more to come. Keep Watching!
@@DudeSawdust You are welcome. Keep it up.
The brad nail gun. What gauge and size do you use. Looking to buy one. Either brad or pin nailer ??
The brad nailer is 18 gauge. 👍
@@DudeSawdust whats the best nail length to use for the 3/4 ply ?
@@chashaycock5924 I think is you are joining two 3/4 ply then 1 1/4 is perfect. If you use 1 1/2 then it will poke through the other end. You want your nail head to be just below the surface. Aiming for flush just puts you at risk for it being just proud. Then chase it with wood filler
@@DudeSawdust brilliant. Thanks. Love the videos. Will definately be trying some on the new cleat wall.
Good luck! Glad I could help👍
Nicely done my friend. I have a pegboard wall, though not as nice as yours. Do you have plans for dust collection to keep the wall clean?
Thanks! So far I’m using my right lung for dust collection. But I have a laundry list of hopes and dreams. I have a small space so I don’t quite know yet. I’ve got 2shop vacs that get connected to my power tools. If you follow my channel you’ll probably see a little of this and that.
@@DudeSawdust I just made a DIY cyclone style separator out of a 5 gal bucket to save my shop vac filter from getting clogged super fast. I've been real happy with it. For power tools, shop vacs actually work better than dust collectors because they move a smaller amount of air, but faster.
@@DudeSawdust LOL!! Let me guess...the left lungs 🫁 for exhaust!!🤣 I’m guessing a lot of us are in the same position...trying to fit everything in smaller spaces. Dust collection has ALWAYS been the evil woodworkers fight!! I remember my dads big ole HarborFreight system with PVC pipes everywhere!! It never did work to his satisfaction... I think it would have been more effective if he’d had blast gates...didn’t think of it then and there was no CZcams then...I think today he’d do it different...then again, I hope my son learns from my mistakes!! So far, he’s doing well at 40!!😁
Your fun to watch... Thank you, but please turn the music down. I had to turn it up and down trying to hear you clearly.
I've been told this many times from others. I made this mistake with my first videos but I'm pretty sure I've dialed in the right audio levels. Try watching some of my newer videos and maybe you'll notice a difference. Thanks for watching!
Love your work. Please fix the alignment to the power piont/switch it does draw the eye.
Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate your support. Although, I’m not sure what you mean by PowerPoint and switch. I’d love to improve upon it in my future videos, if I knew exactly what you were referring to.
@@DudeSawdust the 4 gang power point between the rails is not parallel
Oh yes of course. I hadn’t thought about that for so long. Maybe I should go tweak it. Haha. You got an eagle eye!
Hej Dude, thanks for your video. Nice work! How do you call the wood plates in your country. Here in Germany it‘s named Multiplex. But your individual layers looks a little bit more thick than ours.
The outer layers of plywood are known respectively as the face and the back. The face is the surface that is to be used or seen, while the back remains unused or hidden. The center layer is known as the core. In plywoods with five or more plies, the inter-mediate layers are known as the crossbands.
Also, pine plywood (what I used) has thicker layers. If I would have used a higher end plywood like Baltic birch the layers would have been thinner. We usually just call the layers “ply” or “plys”.
@@DudeSawdust Hej Dude, thanks for your kind answer.
@@DudeSawdust best plywood explanation I’ve ever heard!
Great video just need to turn down the music.
Thanks! This is one of my first videos. I think I’ve figured out the volume thing finally. 🤷♂️👍
A hint for cutting thin shims is to us a sacrificial put a pice of blue tape over the blade opening then run the blade u through it.
Great idea! Thanks 🙏
@@DudeSawdust any time
First time watching your videos. Nice work good video! My only feedback is the volume going up and down I found very irritating. I found myself turning the volume up to hear you talk then get blasted by the music. But it sure got me thinking about what tools I can actually mount up on my wall. Especially the likes of a scroll saw. 👍
Thanks for watching! Yes, you are totally correct. The volume on my first videos is not dialed in. I feel confident that I have fixed this issue with my more recent videos. As a new CZcamsr I had a learning curve. I'm glad you enjoy the content. Hope you come back for more!
@@DudeSawdust yeh I will be back. It’s all I pretty much can manage with my medical condition some days.
I’ll keep that in mind so my content is tip top for your entertainment and education 👍. Thanks my friend. Cheers!
@@DudeSawdust great mix of both very enjoyable to watch
Shims = Popsicle sticks
I’m watching my carbs🤷
This video came up in a search for French cleat ideas and your tool holders are good. Unfortunately, the unnecessary music is far louder than the voice segments. Since I tend to look at CZcams for ideas after everyone else has gone to bed, I have to ride the volume control constantly to keep from waking others.
I have to apologize to all of the sleeping family members out there. I have had several comments about his problem. This was one of my very first videos and I had difficulty honing the volume to be just right. I feel confident that I have improved my editing skills in my more recent videos. I hope you can go watch those and enjoy them without waking the family. Thanks for caring enough to comment. Good luck on your French cleats/tool holders!
nobody but nobody addresses the issue of shop dust covering your cleat items. Cabinets with sliding doors will solve the problem. Your thoughts
Shop dust is unavoidable. Here's what I like to do. Wait for a day with a breeze in the right direction. Open the garage door and the back door of the garage that goes into the back yard. It creates a wind funnel. Then get a blower and blow off the dust off of everything. It all funnels out the back door. Also, Hopefully in the not too distant future I plan on building cabinets on the wall left of my french cleats.
The music is a bit too "epic" but I like your designs.
I appreciate your positive spin on my too loud volume. My more recent videos should be better with sound levels. Hope you come back for more 🤓🤓🤓
Music is too loud. Like way too loud
I know right?!?!? Many have told my this. This was one of my first videos and I was having trouble finding the right volume. My more recent videos have solved the problem. Check em out!
Hi,
When you have something to say I want to hear it. Musical interludes, not so much.
When you speak I have to double the volume to hear you because I have to cut the volume in half when the music plays. I haven’t checked later because I can’t adjust the volume fast enough.
I like your channel, but I don’t like riding the volume.
Thanks and here’s hoping.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m curious what device you are using. I have found when I watch on the TV the sound levels vary greatly but when I watch on my desktop or phone the volume is just right. I’ve used different sound levels on different videos. I’m still new at this and hopefully will get it right👍
@@DudeSawdust Yes, I primarily use a TV to watch, occasionally I’ll use an IPhone, but I can’t recall watching your channel on the phone.
I like the French cleat system, that’s coming up for my garage and you’re giving me a good way to do the individual items.
I am able to have the volume on the same as other channels for your speech, but I need to crank down the volume for the time lapse music to about half the value.
Thanks for the quick (wow!) response and Happy New Year to you and yours.
I have more tool holder videos coming out. My plan is to do my own unique holder for my Kreg K4 pocket hole system next. I need to fill up that wall and declutter the workshop. I wish I could just quite my day job and do this full time but right now this is just a passion project. Thanks for your support and please be patient with my sound levels. 😬
@@DudeSawdust Great, I have a K4 system to put up. I can’t find anything (my wife thinks out of sight is put up🤦) so the cleat system is essential. Keep up the good work!
FYI - I watch on Laptop and the sound is an issue. I just hit the mute button so don't miss much of what you are saying. But the content and info provided out weigh the sound issues for me. Keep putting out the videos.
Hello there, I do not like to whine, beyond whining, this is a piece of constructive critisism and I am taking the time to tell you because I almost close the video several times due to this: You need to control your audio levels. Let me explain... when you talk, is all good, clear and at a good volume, but then you cut into b-roll or whatever that is called and the music volume goes into concert mode. This is super frustrating for the viewer to be adjusting the volume so often for a video, and then again when you start taking, the volume is not too low and you cannot be heard so I have to go raise the volume again. I hope you get what I am saying and take it well, most people do not know how to take critisim properly. Appart from the volume, great video!
Your comment is received with open arms! I really appreciate you taking the time to extend your hand. You are not alone. My first videos were heavily commented about how the sound was not right. I don't have the best hearing so getting the sound right was a challenge. I believe I have fixed the problem with my newer videos. Hopefully I have earned your subscription and return viewership despite my poor sound quality. Cheers!
@@DudeSawdust I did liked the video, and yeah, I will keep watching your videos, I have a lot of respect for people that do, sitting behind a keyboard and typing is easy, what you guys in the maker space do, is not, you put yourselves out there and create, so no worries, I will keep watching, I just wanted to let you know. cheers from Costa Rica my friend. Rock on!
The music makes the video - which is probably very good - too annoying to watch.
I like people like you. Your glass is half full, always looking for the positive 😉
@@DudeSawdust Just remember, nobody watches your videos for the music. I understand that it is hard to please everyone, so you do you. I'm happy to find the content that I seek, elsewhere.
Your advice is sound! My style of video has not been consistent. I’d be interested to know what you think of my more recent videos. Feel free to watch them and give me your unfiltered opinion. If my style truly is unappealing to you then I’m curious of what CZcams channels you do appreciate. Thanks for commenting and watching 👍
@@DudeSawdust As you might have guessed, I'm all about "unfiltered". I watched your circle cutting How To. HUGE improvement!! KUDOS! New sub! You do what you do well!
Thanks I really appreciate it! My videos have evolved and I’m still trying to find my voice. I strive to improve a little bit each video. This CZcams thing is a real challenge but very satisfying. 👍 right now I’m working on the legs of my wife’s desk using the circle cutting jig. Hope to have that video out next weekend 🤞
DRAMA......................what an opening, NOT
Video would have been good if it were not for the horrendously LOUD music. Constantly having to adjust my volume to accommodate this, made me give up watching - Too bad :(
This is one of my first videos when I didn't have the sound dialed in. I've since corrected the problem. Once these videos are uploaded I can't go back and make changes. I'm sorry it was a problem, you are one of many to make this comment. I hope you come back again and I appreciate you giving my channel a chance. :)
