In this video, Steve Stack takes you through the steps of building a french cleat shelf. Are you having trouble finding your workbench under your collection of power tools? A french cleat storage system uses floating shelves to organize your tool collection for everything from light drill bits to heavy items like clamps. If thinking of tool storage ideas, look no further. A french cleat consists of wood pieces with one edge bevel cut at a 45-degree angle. Using fasteners, wood pieces are secured to the wall with the beveled edge facing up. From there, you can make any type of organization tool and use a small cleat (with the beveled edge facing down) as a backer to connect to the french cleat wall. Before you get started, here’s what you’ll need: Tape Measure Speed Square Framing Square Level Sandpaper Clamps Brad Nailer 18 Gauge 1-¼” Brad Nails 18 Guage 1-½” Brad Nails Drill Kreg 1-¼” Screws Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720PRO Miter Saw Table Saw Compact Router Wood Glue Don’t just buy any french cleat system like the ones you can find on Amazon. Use your next home improvement DIY project to show off your woodworking skills and build a french cleat wall from a simple piece of plywood.
