Instructions

For a guide on how to cut and use these brackets watch the linked YT video! *Note This set of cut files are for 80mm face cleats and have a 15mm encoded depth. However depth can be adjusted on tool. **If the SVG files aren't quite right for your setup or if you want to customise e.g. shelf projections then you can grab the fully parametric versions of these brackets on my Etsy store: https://goto.hswdesign.co/basic-brackets-cad (support very welcome). All my cut files and plans are free for those who join me over on Patreon 👉 https://goto.hswdesign.co/patreon These are lockable modular cleat brackets that are super flexible for a wide range of use cases. Plug diameter for the locking mechanism is 16mm. Which I cut from the remaining scrap wood on the drill press. The full method for using these brackets, along with use case examples can be found in the linked Youtube video. In this pack are 4 basic bracket types to get rolling with: 1. Flat bracket - 2 sizes 2. Shelf bracket - 4 sizes 3. Clamp rack - 2 sizes 4. Lumber rack (suggest 18mm ply here) As always feel free to remix for your needs.
