Reviews

Makers in the USA, the UK, Australia, Spain, Holland and the Channel Islands have turned cluttered walls into organised workshops with Neat French Cleat. Here’s what they say, in their own words.

He Bought a Laser Cutter Just to Build This Wall

“It has created a sense of pride that has encouraged me to work neater. Not only am I working neater, cleaner and more accurately, but it has also encouraged me to keep the tools themselves in top nick.”

Real walls, real workshops

Robbert's laser-cut French cleat tool wall with screwdrivers, chisels, scissors, pliers and storage shelves

From looking to choosing

“Going from “no laser” to a working French cleat wall was simple and affordable. The biggest difference is peace of mind and a clean overview – I’ve gone from looking for a tool to choosing a tool.”

Every tool has a place

“These files were very helpful in getting me organized in my shop. I was always looking for tools. Once I completed the wall each tool has a specific place. The thing I really like about this is that you can move things around without having to remove nails or screws.”

Makes the average shop look amazing

“Alan @neatfrenchcleat has done something that isn’t what we would call “new”, but what he has managed to achieve is to enhance a product that makes the average shop look amazing and most importantly, organised.”

Fantastic customer service

“Had an issue with the file as I had to change the tabs to suit my 3mm material and Alan fixed the file for me straight away. Fantastic customer service and I plan on eventually buying some more files from him.”

More from the community

“I’ve always done what most makers do: using scraps of leftover wood from other projects to make tool holders. But until I watched your videos, I wasn’t completely satisfied with how my workshop fit together—it felt piecemeal. Seeing your system approach was the lightbulb moment for me. Now I’m tackling my shop as a whole, rethinking the layout to make things fit my hobby and workflow, instead of just slotting in more holders and machines. It’s made a massive difference in how I use my space!”

Brian Lesslie
Maker, Jersey, Channel Islands

“Thank you for the files. It has completely organized my tools so I can find them. In the past, if I couldn’t find a tool, it was off to Lowe’s to purchase another, plus some. This will definitely save me money on purchasing other tools and equipment in the future. The thing that I really like other than being organized is the fact you can move things around if needed.”

Timothy Anderson
Maker, USA

“Thank you so much for your wonderful products and YouTube videos. I think they are great, clear, concise, and interesting. I am about to embark on my new French cleat system and stumbled across your work, which beats the rest hands down.”

Kerry Herbison
Maker, Australia

“Awesome plans with so many uses in the shop! Great quality and super functional. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a more organized workspace.”

Raymond Kaess
Virginia Beach, VA

“Alan’s plans are fantastic! Everything works flawlessly. Thank you Alan!”

Mike

C. Davis
