I love (on the spectrum) your honest filming. It optimizes the learning curve for your viewers. *last quote "That's not a circular saw.. this is a circular saw" -Paul Hogan

It's ironic to me how I almost didn't watch this prior to my first FC wall project. Why? BECAUSE...seeing mistakes really drives home why people do some of the same things which end up working. Just seeing a great finished project simply doesn't teach like this does. THANK you for your transparency! GOT my sub, dude.

To lock in the case holder at the 16:00 mark, just cut a block to slide in above the tool holder cleat. Just attach a tab or screw in the side of the block to you can easily remove it when you want to take down the tool holder.
-
And for the quick clamps, if you make a bar and face them in towards it, so that the handle faces out, you can just made it as wide as you need to accomodate all of your clamps without it sticking too far from the wall. Really handy when you have limited width in the shed.
-
Awesome Aussie content thanks.
-
You gave me some great ideas man, thank you!
-
I also wanted 18/19mm ply for a mitre bench and drawers but didn’t want to pay massive $$$ found the best price for the thickness I wanted was the black formply from the green shed and really like the black look. Also if you don’t have a track saw I recon look into making your own track (and mount to the bottom of circular saw) so that it takes away the small errors on your cuts that obviously compound when doing heaps.
-
Strait edge and a couple of pump clamps make the circ saw a budget mans track saw - little bit of set up time for each cut but you can measure off the opposite sides factory edge for a bit more precision. Might not be super pretty but its still properly functional, gotta fix it though cos its your youtube den😂😂 18k mate - channels blowing up!
-
With your clamps put the block horizontally and then just clamp the clamp to the block and you will fit a lot more side by side. And you can fit different sizes next to each other.
-
Good video I used the same ply from bunnings as you 18 months ago just on one wall works well. Went to get another sheet around October last year none available anywhere come back into stock now but haven't got round to it. I was lucky enough to have a makita track saw to make the cuts. I also made a couple of mistakes with cuts and now use them for spacers behind the racks to stop them tipping or shorter hooks for lighter racks. Steve Tas.

So for the clamps, just take that 2x2 (50mmx 50mm), put a couple of cleats along it and clamp the clamps to it. Not hard. Mine hang off the side of a shelf.
-
So that $90-ish dollar 15mm is probably a higher grade, structural, possibly even marine grade. That’s way more than you’d need for french cleats. Non structural 19mm should come in about $60 a sheet. Failing that, you can almost always get Form-Ply, which is a high quality bond at 17mm. Also has the nice advantage of a water resistant coating and comes in black.
-
I just clamp my clamps on a 2 x 4 noggin in my garage works a treat and looks neat
-
Good job mate.
-
20:34 Would probably have worked and looked better with a couple of dowels and a much smaller plate. That's a lot of wood!
-
Would you say 12mm ply is ok for a cleat wall or would you pony up for 18mm if you had the choice?
-
Boating and marine places sell big sheets of 18mm plywood for really cheap
-
Having overhead doors on sheds an aussie thing? I just noticed that, #jealous. We definitely don't do that in the midwest US.
-
I think Iam spoiled having table saws at work. Makes the job so much easier
-
Yeah cutting strips with the circular saw aint the greatest. Slight errors get compounded with each piece. Need to reset with a straight edge every so often.
I reckon the rails on the wall would look better painted. Also rub some wax on the 45's and they'll slide even better.
Lastly if you haven't, I'd sand off the sharp edges. They're like razor blades.
