French Cleat Jig Saw tool holder with additional storage.My small shop (12×24) doesn't have a lot of wall space available since the front is two 4' wide doors, there is a window on the back wall, the right side of the shop has my D/C system is mounted mid height on the wall, so I wanted to make my cleat holders as compact as possible, and most of what I've seen online seem to take up a lot of horizontal wall space, which seems to me to eat up space. I haven't put up a bunch of cleat hangers yet, hoping to get that done soon, but had a bit of time to try this holder. The other thing I've seen lacking in most tool holders is a bit of storage for that tool, this one being for my jig saw, I wanted to have space for loose blades, packaged blades and the non-mar base as well as the anti-splinter insert. The cleat itself is 3/4” thick BB, the sides are 1/2”, the bottom is 3/8”, the divider between the drawers is 1/4”, and the drawers are all made with 1/8”. For all joints, I used wood glue and a pin nailer, with exception to the cleat, that is also glued, but is screwed on as well for extra strength. I wanted a lip on the edges so the saw won't slip off easily, so the top shelf was dadoed to give me the 3/8” lip on the sides. The dado in the middle was cut a bit too wide for the 1/4” ply, but with the glue and pins holding it in place, it will work okay even if it looks a bit hinky. And yes, the drawer sides are pinned as well as glued, there were a few that had to be pulled out and repined.
