April Wilkerson's shop organization series: French cleat wall, lumber cart, clamp storage

Make: rounded up April's shop-storage videos with her notes on each. The French cleat wall is the one to start with: 3/4" plywood ripped at 45°, screwed into studs, then every holder you will ever need hangs off it and moves in seconds.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.

Upvoted for the safety notes alone.

Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?

Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.
