To answer a lot of questions I made my complete French cleat guide showing how to make your cleats, different mounting options, the science behind the cleats and different tips and tricks along with safety notes when cutting your cleats.
*** correction to the video I have a mistake in what I said was my measurement for cutting down a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. You achieve 19 cleats and you’ll have a round a one and a half inch scrap piece left over this piece is great to be used for your first rung or your top rung since usually you’re not gonna have a functional cleat there.
