I think we should have a wood working section, I do some wood working myself occasionally, when needs must,
What’s the best welding rods to join 6x2 to 3x2 eased edge, no need to bevel the edges
Given the recent discussion on a wood working sub forum; I thought some members might be interested in this video demonstrating an improved French cleat system.
that French cleat mod is a total waste .......
u've seen mine on my wheely nut n bolt rack......some of the shelves carry at least 15kgs.......
never a prob, never come loose...all glued n screw'd.....
just need an engine to move it now.....hahaha....
having lived in France, do u know why they are called a `French cleat........
it cos when the move they take everything with em.......even toilet roll holders, light bulbs and in our Gite they even took the light switches n power sockets.....

They will have there uses.The idea was to help secure light items, theory being heavy stuff will help hold the cleat in position but light items may not offer the same hold and may get knocked loose.
I thought it was inventive and creative; but it is also somewhat of a solution for a problem that doesn't exist as others have pointed out.
