For the cord management, you could totally just router a slot along the length, and then router a few slots vertically maybe every few feet. Could be a cool feature for those hanging light bulbs !

im from the uk and older houses use to use a picture rail very similar to the cleat system and at my nans house my grandfather had made shelves that utilised it

Add a foldable laptop table for the hotel build.

Well, you know I would use this system for art studio components, such as wall easels, paint, pencil and brush storage. Oh, let’s not forget lights and artwork display. BOOM; out of the park with this design Mr. Uyeda. Love the cleated mirror.

A sleek box to store the charger for that Bluetooth speaker, etc would be a cool addition.

Glad to see you got a nice table saw, man! Makes life quite a bit easier!!

THANK YOU so much for making something out of plyboo! I've been staring at that website for about 10 years wondering about projects I could do with this product. It's expensive stuff to buy and to ship to Tennessee, so I didn't want to get it and just let it sit in my garage, or worse try something and mess it up. I love this modular concept you came up with. The sofa looks good, too! I'll be watching that one in about 5 seconds.

Another fine project! Thank you for showing us such cool ideas.

Love it.

Very cool 👍

Nice touch with the bamboo - the rail concept is actually a thing that the Shakers had implemented to get rid of items for example when cleaning floors.

Fantastic work on this on Ben!

groovy... love it!

This was so cool.. I’ve never heard of the French cleat system (I’m not a builder/furniture maker) but it looks so lovely.. I love the bamboo.

Good stuff

Man your creativity is off the charts. You make so much incredible stuff and you make it look so easy… it’s not. The first thing I would add is a phone/ipod dock right above the plug. That would be for charging and for playing music with the Bluetooth speaker. An Ipad/tablet dock too. Definitely a light above the turntable, especially for those non-automatic turntables. Hard to see where the needle needs to go after a few drinks… As you said a bookshelf would be great, magazine racks, maybe a hanger for a work bag, purse, cap, jacket, etc. When I come into a hotel room, I first need a place for my work messenger bag/computer backpack. It usually ends up being the desk chair or couch. I then look for a place to charge my phone and computer. I also need a place for my glasses, water bottle, and hotel key. I wear baseball caps, so that usually ends up on the desk. A catch-all tray for rental car keys, wallet and anything else that ends up in my pockets. I then turn on my music and unpack. Would probably run the cables in a channel along the back wall hanger. Maybe place two or three plugs recessed into the back wall hanger, so that the system is powered. Only one would plug into the outlet for power. There’s never enough plugs accessible in hotel rooms… I’m going to borrow your vinyl storage idea… Thanks!

Such a cool idea Ben - as you said, the potential options with this system are endless! Really dig it!

You could also hang some additional (folding) chairs from that system. Like the shakers did.

This is so cool, and I absolutely love the bamboo plywood! 😍 I would add a lamp of some sorts to the module.

Ayeeeeee, Rilo Kiley vinyl!

If you could use that plywood and some kind of light, you could build a fold out reading lamp that hangs over the couch when you need it. That would be usedful and can fold away when its not needed.

Nice job.

I love French cleats! I don't know why, but I just love them! If I had my own house, I would totally do this kind of thing, but just with bookshelves. Like, start at the left top corner of a wall and slowly go diagonally down it with bookshelves. Maybe put a papasan chair under the shelves that are higher up. I wonder if the cleats would hold up with all the weight of the books though, even if they were screwed into studs. This was great! Love this channel.

This is great - I would add a picture frame bracket.

rail power and make it so that each add-on as a negative and positive concert "thinks train" possibility are endless. good job.

I thought of it first about a year ago , i would put white or blue soft lights in the back and put a board vertical with a dado, run a power to a top self , and do the same to all rooms.

For the curious, it’s $280 + shipping for a 3/4” 4x8’ sheet of bamboo plywood from the sponsor.

And I was thinking he UK was an outlier on prices! Still an interesting project though I wouldn't use bamboo, you could use virtually any solid wood for the rail even walnut or cocbolo would probably work out cheaper and maple or cherry certainly would. Birch ply would be less than a 1/3 the cost of bamboo. Love the idea of getting furniture off the floor.

This is gorgeous! I'm interested to see how the pieces would work in a hotel setting, maybe some much larger items sitting on two rows of french cleats so patrons are less likely to knock them around? And/or like a dowel system running through vertically (in brass because it's a hotel so there must be brass hehe) that can lock pieces in place? Anyway, I want this in my home. Thanks for the vid!

Pretty Bad Ass Ben 👊🏼❤️👊🏼

if these sheets ship overseas, im totally doing a media console setup!

Design really goes in a circle. Crown molding used to be used to hang things when nailing into plaster walls wasn't ideal. Now this is trendy.

If this system able to hang bike will be a definitely a plus too

Turfing outlets in the main cleat would look nice! Not cord management, but another way to incorporate the exposed extension outlet.

Super project! again :) YOU have a first with the cut outs on the side panels to attach to the wall. That eliminates the stand off of the bar shelves and can be used in many different ways. Like my next wall project that needs a clean modern look of furniture not garage shelves. Thank you for the idea!

humm great for kitchen or bathroom too or a conservatory .

I like having a shelf behind a couch for putting down a drink or something. I realize this is what coffee table is for, but that doesn't work for all setups. You could have a long shelf drop down from the cleat rail, and still have space for other accessories between the standoffs.

yes!

I’ve been toying with the idea of a modular system like this to allow things to be moved around but also have low voltage power supply included so the LEDs in the boxes (I have crap to display) light up.

Design ideas and cord management.... What about a single square bar, cleat hung, with cantilevered shelves attached to the center bar. The center bar can be 3 sides with space in middle to allow a cord to pass through, up a wall, connecting to a wall outlet, but hiding both outlet and cord? Just a thought. Not sure if I was clear enough.

If you have a weaker saw you can install a smaller blade and still get good results cutting harder wood.

Hang a tv on it! For chord management, you could cut a channel in the back of the mount parts that run vertical and even some in the horizontal parts and run cables through them. Not sure where they’d end up at the end but it’s an idea to get you thinking.

You could add a folding chair for exemple ! 😉👍👌

I built a desk in 2011 with 3 ply bamboo plywood so it's not that new I'd say, but still a great product ! And your finished product looks really good, well done :)

yes I used it on the first house I built in 2005

Having two inlaid pieces of bare 14 AWG copper wire running the length of the system at 12 or 5 VDC might be a really cool way to handle power. You'd then have to use some sort of spring clips to get power into the individual modules, but I think it would be worth it. Think of it like a low voltage track-light system.

When are you going to have more of the SIMPLE FINISH STAIN!!WHENNNNNN!!! ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR! I just want to try it but its been sold since last year. I want to know if you guys gonna make more!? Thumb down until we get more simple finish stain! Lol!

With regards to cable management.. the bottom of the french cleat on the wall, if you trim out a small section closest to the wall, this woudl give room for the cable to be hidden. Then use extra french cleat units that would "clamp" the cable to the bottom. An inverted T. This way you can adjust the location or replacement of the cable if damaged.

For cable management, I’ve seen suggestions for routing a channel. Another method to get a similar result could be to use off it ply to double up the thickness of the wall rail, but only along the bottom and top, so there is a cavity in the middle for cords to go. Gaps could be left strategically to allow cables to come out from or into the rail where necessary. This could possibly make it easier to actually move the cables within, as opposed to routing. Anyway just a thought. Love the project, it came out super clean! Perfect project to show off that awesome bamboo ply.

You can insert a low voltage power rail into the wooden rail to power lights, led strips, a radio, small Bluetooth speakers... Those rails are used for spots in eg galleries.

More like this

Id not use bluetooth for quality music listening... but a cool system!!!!

Cut a reces under your wall cleat. Final profile is like a Y split down the middle, and you can slide a cord in the straight part without blocking the cleat for additionnal componants.

great idea

I don't fully know the amount of holding power french cleats have but I thought about making a wall-mounted desk, made of modules.. one to hold a tower/PC, one for an actual working surface, one for a monitor mount, maybe, etc. I feel it could be an interesting design and either be good for standing or sitting configurations.

Soo... Cord management... Cut two strips of the wood, one 1in thick, the other ¾in. Use the table saw to cut off the outer layer of the ¾in strip, and route an indent for a magnet every 12in. Cut strap hinge 11in long, several pieces. This gets mounted to the top (not front) of the 1in strip. The ¾in strip gets mounted to the wall below the cleat strip. Two possible distances... Directly below to blend in with the original strip, or several inches to 18in and use it as the bottom spacer instead of needing to add that to the modules. The 1in strip gets mounted however many inches down you wish to make the cable tray wide. You then need to cut the outer layer of bamboo ply off to use as a door. This gets cut into 11in long by however big you want the cable tray to be. The doors are then mounted so that there is a 1in gap between every 11in door. The inside of the door needs a steel catch plate. If done right, the steel plate should be at the horizontal center of each door, lining up with the magnets. If one magnet isnt enough, more could be added, or a different catch system figured out.

I wish I had gone with that SawStop as opposed to a Grizzly cabinet saw, having a hell of a time dialing in the blade, fence, and blade guard. Upgraded from a small DeWalt jobsite saw and I think the SawStop contractor saw would have been a good next step. Ugh. Anyway, love the bamboo plywood! I wonder how it holds up over time.

maybe us it in a kitchen? as a pantry, add shelfs for equipment food etc

something that would improve this design a lot, would be a electric socket directly into the long wood plank, maybe on the corners, in this way you could hide de cables a bit better with a router, between the wall ant the wood
