3. French Cleat Wall System

A French cleat wall system is a highly customizable and durable way to store woodworking tools. By attaching a series of angled wooden strips (the cleats) to your wall, you can hang tool holders, shelves, or bins securely. The beauty of a French cleat system is that each holder can be moved around easily without drilling new holes.

Many woodworkers enjoy building custom holders for specific tools like chisels, planes, or clamps. This allows you to design storage that fits your unique collection. The system is also expandable. As your tools grow, you can build more holders and rearrange them.
