French cleat tool wall

A full wall of birch French cleats on a deep green backer, every holder movable: a shaker-door tool cupboard, maple chisel and screwdriver racks, a saw till, a plane shelf, a drill shelf, a hammer rack, a clamp rail, a peg board for squares and levels, and a low platform on the floor for power tool cases.

More workshop & garage designs

• Router table cabinet with dust bin A lichen-green rolling router table whose router hangs in its own closed bay, ported at the back, so the chips that fall through the plate go to the collector and not the floor; a full-width bin drawer below catches the rest. Five maple drawers hold the bits, and the maple fence carries its own hood right at the cutter.
• Lumber and sheet goods rack A wall rack that keeps a whole timber pile in 520mm of floor: full sheets stand on edge on a raised deck behind a lift-off rail, long boards rest on twelve tenoned pine cantilever arms with dowel stops, and a brick red offcut cart with a sloped top rolls out beside it.
• Drill press station with swing-out wings A safety-orange rolling stand that puts a benchtop drill press at a comfortable height over five bit drawers and a cupboard. Maple wings fold down flat against its sides and come up on swing-out arms, turning a 700mm stand into a 1.5m surface for long rails and panels.
