I'm beginning to understand how it's done, but I have a few more questions to clarify things.
1. What's the best way to cut the bevel? I always assumed it's done on the table saw, but technically, I can probably also use a router, especially for really long cleats.
Which leads me to question 2: On a long wall, does the wall-mounted cleat have to preferably be a single piece of wood, or can I butt several shorter strips together?
How strong is a single row of cleats? For shop cabinetry, are two rows better, or would a single row be sufficiently strong?
And lastly, is the cleat glued to the wall, or are screws enough?
Thanks again for all the helpful hints.
