French cleat racks (clamps, chisels, etc)

My favorite projects are the utilitarian for the shop ones! ;) good job.

Jason, I couldn’t agree with you more. I enjoy using french cleats in my shop as well. It is a pretty solid and efficient way to hang cabinets, shelves etc. on the wall. It looks like your system helps organize your shop pretty well.

All of this goes a long way towards organizing your shop which will save you a whole lot of time. Good work.

Thank you for posting this. I’m going to use this in my own shop I am now putting together. I just googled “French Cleat” and found several other great uses – many of which were posted here on LJ. I never would have known about this without your post.

French Cleats are so incredibly easy and versatile. My daughter is using that for a shelf SHE’S building for her room!

Thats some neat storage.
