Lately I made a new, longer and wider jig similar to the former ones I made a while ago (photo 1) so it would be quick and easy to mill slots, dadoes, grooves and rabbets everywhere without fussy adjustments and measurements, thanks to the 1" guide bushing. Trace where to mill, clamp the jig...

In an early attempt to organize we went out and got two plastic towers of six bins each (attached photo), and those helped for a bit.

Some of the shops I like the best have a uniform set of drawer and cabinet pulls in them. Much like a kitchen. I wanted to do the same. My requirements were: different, large and cheap. All of the large prefab drawer pulls I found were way too much money. My shop cabinets consist of...

This was a quick and dirty project on one of my rare days off. My paying woodworking plans got put on the back burner, so my girlfriend said she'd like a wine rack for the closet. Cognizant of the fact that I need to make my woodworking seem mutually advantageous for a serene household, I...
