French cleat wall

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

To demonstrate the system's functionality, create a simple tool holder. Take a small piece of French cleat (a scrap from the earlier cuts) and attach it to the back of a 1x4 wood piece using two screws. This allows the 1x4 to hang securely on any of the installed wall cleats. The video shows hanging a Milwaukee chainsaw on this custom mount, illustrating how tools can be easily organized and rearranged.

Goal: Demonstrate the French cleat system with a custom tool holder

Tools and materials

  • 1x4 Wood Piece — The front part of the tool holder where the tool rests or attaches
  • Drill/Driver — Driving screws to assemble the holder
  • Milwaukee Chainsaw Milwaukee — Demonstrating how a tool hangs on the custom mount
  • Small French Cleat Piece — The back part of the tool holder that engages with the wall cleats
  • Wood Screws — Attaching the cleat piece to the 1x4

Got the first row on. I cut these 12-in spacer blocks for here. Now, I'm going to put the second row on and then we're going to go up a little higher. We're going to do a third row and then we'll do the same thing on our side. I just went ahead and made this super simple mount here. You got piece of your French cleat on the back, 1 by 4 on the front. I dropped two screws in it. Clips on there. Now, you can hang stuff. I got some French cleats to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
