I wanted to design a better modular wall mounting system.  This system uses a french cleat style approach with a dovetail profile thrown in for easy mounting and alignment.  

The cleat mounts to the wall.  There are multiple versions.  

  1. The Small Anchor Screw version is for smaller flat head screws with a head diameter of ~8mm and a thread drill thru clearance of 4mm.  
  2. The Large Anchor Screw is for flat head screws with a head diameter of ~8.8mm and a drill thru clearance of 5mm.
  3. The Deck Screw version is for flat head deck screws with a head diameter of ~8.8mm and a drill thru clearance of 5.5mm.  These are typically 2 ½" long (~64mm) - long enough to go through the drywall and into a wall stud.

You could even just use structural/deck screws and screw into a wall stud for extra support for heavy items.

REMIX USAGE ENCOURAGED!!!  Adapt the cleat mounting system into your own designs!  I've included a STEP file of the tool mount so you can easily edit it in your 3D modeling program.
