About the designer
Hi, my name is Alan Egan and I’m a trained mechanical engineer. I used to design jigs, fixtures, progression tools, and manufacturing robots. These days, I spend a lot of time in my workshop and I love making stuff and I love French cleats as they keep my space organized. But, like everyone else, when I needed a cleat I grabbed a few pieces of scrap wood and made a cleat, ad-hock with no thought about spacings, or size, or the cleats that I’d made before. Then I came up with the idea for a French cleat system and the Neat French Cleat System was born. I then started prototyping, and what you see here is the result of a ton of tried and tested ideas.My workshop
How It All Started I built my workshop during the first lockdown in 2020. Before that, it was just a brick-walled outbuilding that used to house pigs! While the workshop isn’t very large—roughly the size of a double garage—it’s a space that works hard. One unique challenge is the chimney right in the middle, which limits the layout. Although I considered removing it, the chimney is essential for the wood burner, which is the only source of heating in the workshop.The Tools I Use My workshop is equipped with two lasers:
- Sculpfun S9: A diode laser with 10W power, perfect for smaller projects.
- Gweike Cloud: A 50W CO2 laser that I use to create my French cleats. (I started with the Sculpfun, but it takes much longer compared to the Gweike.)
- Festool CMS Table Saw for precision cutting.
- Bosch GCM Mitre Saw for accurate angles.
- An old pillar drill, which still gets the job done!
- A Creality Ender 3 3D Printer, which I use for smaller custom parts and prototypes.

My Laser
A Gweike Cloud 50W
I rely on my Gweike Cloud 50W laser, a powerful and versatile tool that’s perfect for precision cutting and engraving. With its user-friendly design, this laser effortlessly handles everything from intricate tool holders to larger cleat systems. Its speed, accuracy, and ability to work with various materials make it an essential part of my workshop, ensuring that every custom French cleat and component is perfectly cut.
