French Cleat System

Project by deucefour posted 76 days ago 979 views 5 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is based on the woodwisperers french cleat system, Thanks Marc!!

I have updated the pics from the original posting, I found that the cleat works much better when it is at the top instead of the bottom, that way the weight if whatever you are holding presses against the rail and is less prone to fall off. I’m sure everyone knew this but me. Thanks for looking.

Looks good. I can’t think of a better way to mount just about anything in the shop. The cleat rocks.

I got this idea from one of the woodwisperers podcast at thewoodwhisperer.com, Basically the strips that you see have a 45 degree cut that angles back against the wall, then you just make holders for your various tools that also have a 45 degree angle on its back that fits into the rail, the strips are about 3” wide, spaced 6-8” apart. I have added some pictures of the rail and holders. Sorry I can’t tell you which podcast it was, maybe the one on clamps. Hope this helps

Love it. Inspired me to start my own today, but a little larger.
