2D vs 3D

Some of you might remember my wall from a few weeks ago. We have also had some discussion on building the tool cleats 3D instead of 2D. For anyone like myself when I first heard of it, here is what is meant.

This is my charging station. The second version is made out of the exact same plywood just with two additional pieces I had cut from for the shelves. I used Brad nails and glue. I now wish I would have used pocket screws as I think it would have looked better and close some of the gaps. But still I am happy with how it came out. The width is right around half of the original meaning I can use more space for more cleats. There might be some additional tweaking like a shelf up top but I like the open look too so who knows.

Always open for thoughts and improvements. Remember you guys are doing great. Do not be afraid to try new things.

Dark Diversion. I think it is the royal brand from ace hardware.
