After doing a large project, I like to work ON the shop for awhile before getting into the next project. I saw this idea in “American Woodworker” magazine. You hang cleats on the wall wherever you want to hang tools, then organize your tools in the way you want them and mount them to boards that hang on the cleats. I like the idea of organizing the tools and being able to move the boards whever you want. Its a very flexible system. I used some left over mahogany plywood I had from my last project. I will probably be adding to this and changing things around the rest of my life.

I like how it displays them so well and how well they fit in the cases.

This is a really nice storage system and it adds a nice look to your shop as well. I may have to look into something like this. My Kreg storage just consists of parking it in the nearest unoccupied corner. Using cleats like this would be a versatile system that could easily be modified to suit the current storage needs.
Nice idea.

Really, really well done.
Not only is the organization (and presentation) top notch, but I totally agree with Jimi_C about the Kreg storage, and may steal that one myself, too!
Very nice!

I have looked at a few storage/display systems over the last few weeks, as I build my new shop. This is by far one of the best looking ones I have seen. Very nice job!

JayDee, I got that hyper organized shop article too and was thinking about doing it.
But now that I’ve seen how well you’ve done it, I think this will be the way to go around some of my machines.
And I agree with those other guys, that Kreg system hanger is great.
That will make it a lot more easier to get down and use the next time I’m contemplating a joinery method.
Thanks for the post.

The cleat and the hook systems of wall hanging is quickly gaining fans. Well it should.
Once I build something to hold a specific tool, I will never forget where that tool is.
A seconday advantage, noted above, is the creation of a beautiful display.
