One of those weird glitches that resulted from the server move. Should be fixed now.

Hey Mark,
At the end of the video you asked us to send you some ideas for holders and such for the cleat system. So here are some of mine.
At the following links you cans see that I have done my entire shop with the cleat system. On the lower cleats I have hung tool supports for my benchtop machines. The Uppers hold cabinets, tool holders and just about anything else.

I am presently making window valence boxes to conceal room-darkening roller shades. I attach them with a french cleat at the top of the window frame.

How do I attach a picture here of my plan?

Comment on Concrete Miter Jig – Viewer Jig by Jack

Lately I have been working with a friend on concrete projects. A table top is setting up now, and the legs have already been cast.

Also working on making a concrete geodesic dome… hopefully it will be a workshop for me when it is done. 20′ dia, not big but should be fun when done. … A real ‘man cave’.

Hey Terry. The system would actually work just fine on cement walls, even without a backing. That is, assuming you secure the strips to the wall properly. Now I don’t have a lot of masonry experience but I would imagine you could use TapCon style screws every 8-12″ and that should be pretty darn secure. But you might want to get a few more opinions before hanging some nice cabinets based on that advice, lol.

Nice looking and well made. I think your jewelry box will be around a long, long time. An Heirloom.

If I wanted to hang cabinets to a cement basement wall, would this system work? Whould we need a backing, how many screws would you recommend for holding cabinets? I love this concept. We are just starting to put our shop together. I see this being used in the shop, garage and shed. Thank you so much for all you do!!
