French Cleat Tool Storage and Clamp Racks for a Small Shop | Woodworking - How To Build

Shop organization is paramount in a small one-car garage workshop. With woodworking, comes lots of tools, clamps, and miscellaneous things that need to be neatly organized so you aren't looking around trying to find whatever it is you're looking for. Spend more time making and less time searching for everything you need. To make this possible I created a french cleat tool storage wall in my shop to allow for easy organization of all my woodworking clamps. Please keep reading to learn how I built my french cleat wall as well as a few different versions of clamp racks.

This project took about a day to complete. This is an ideal weekend project to add organization and storage to your woodshop.
