Things have finally slowed down a bit and I've taken this opportunity to do something for myself. I was offered a mess (small truckload) of 5/8'' particle board, and decided it would be best fit as some shop cabinets to take care of the clutter. Now I would love to have a french maid come in and clean my shop as much as the next guy, but in this case, I would have to settle for a French cleat system to do the organizing.
After hanging my first set of rails, I added some cleats to a cabinet that was already built and hung it on the wall. It left a 3/4'' gap behind the cabinet.
That's when I noticed that I would have a much cleaner look if I built the cabinets with the cleat recessed into the back so that they would hang flush. By moving the back in 3/4'' and notching the sides for the rails, I was able to achieve the clean look I was looking for.
Here to the beginning of better storage…
Now I guess I'd best get busy buildin' some doors and more…..

Looking great Marty. Seems like my work bench tops are always cluttered and running out of wall space to hang stuff. Your French cleat cabinet idea will come in handy when things need to be moved around. Stop in sometime Marty.
