French Cleat Shop Brush Holder
French Cleat Shop Brush Hook
While in Springfield, MO, I stopped at Grizzly to view some tools and pick up a few things. One of those things was a horse-hair brush for the turning shop. I have a plastic brush but wanted something a bit better for getting at finer dust. The brush needed a home so I designed this to place it on the French cleat wall. The design started as an offset box generated by my OpenSCAD box generator and heavily modified in Rhino3D. A 3/16” rod was used as the hanger.
This is made from 3 mm basswood plywood and was cut on the Ikier 70 watt laser in 35 watt mode. I did several cardboard prototype iterations of the french cleat to dial in a good shape. The bottom wall support kicks the bottom of the holder forward about 1/32” to provide a slight upward angle to the hook. The hook rests against the very back and is held in place by two vertical pieces. Medium CA glue was used to hold the piece together and to anchor the hook.
