I'd been thinking of putting up a section of french cleats somewhere, either next to the set of shelves you put up the other week or by the vacuformer. When I have the time does anyone have a preference to where and how much? I was thinking probably 4x8ft of space using 4-5" cleats on the walls. Something like this http://lumberjocks.com/assets/pictures/projects/281417.jpg but with more substantial cleats for better weight bearing is what I have in mind. Probably studs on 24" centers.
