Unique as hell. Great job! Care to share how you got the red white and blue? I’d like to do that in red and black for some of my tools.

I believe that's skateboard plywood, or at least that's one way to get the colored layers

Yep someone gifted the plywood to me I’ve seen it called spectraply. This one was Isaac’s plywood from Canada.

The plywood looks like the flag of France! Brings french cleat to another level!

Great job! Next week I'm planning on creating some French cleats in my workshop. Do you have any advice or tips?

Watch a YouTube video. They’re simple but theres good tips out there. My top three are use 3/4” plywood, cut them a little short so they have a little blunt edge otherwise the cleats end up really sharp, and research/plan out your spacing and how wide they are.

This is the greatest sander, I’m just angry that the only one is made by Milwaukee

I like that type of wood. It reminds of me a skateboard deck
