Started with woodworking as a hobby a year ago. I have plenty of tools now. Started with a workbench which is way to big for my small barn where also bicycles are stored (Dutch). So that’s going to be dismantled.

But what frustrates me is the lack of organized storage of tools. So I’m thinking of a French cleat wall to put my tools against.

Has anyone here did a French cleat wall and want to share experience or photos?

    Buy a sheet of 1/2" Baltic birch for $100 US and rip it to make the cleats. You will be able to finish the entire wall behind your work bench. Then have fun making a new storage piece for your tools every night for a month. You will have the most OCD, beautifully organized tools of any workshop around. Go one step further and get a laser engraver to etch in a logo of each tool where it goes.
