I had a large item clutter issues in my shop, so this week I set out to correct that. I cut some dimensional lumber to length to hang a rack from my 10' 5" high loft joists. Before: and after:

Finally banged one out in a day :-) I took some scrap ply, marked out my kerf lines on 1/2" centers, and ran 'em through with the radial arm saw (neat !). Then, I did an inlay of Wenge, or something, at the front and at the back. Then … I used my dado router jig, and carved out about 1/3" of...

Upgrade from my old setup for my Kreg Jig. The last one (picture 6) was thrown together with scraps. This version is made from MDF as the base and pine for the extensions. Everything was given 2 coats of shellac and topped with a coat of paste wax. This combo has become my go to for shop fixture...

I'm not really sure what to call this thing. When it comes to be "finishing" time, I find that the stuff I am looking for is all over the place. When I am done, the stuff is everywhere in different places it doesn't belong. I decided to make a little tote for it. It's made from left over...

Progress on improving the shop continues… This weeks project, a cart for the my planer. Assembly of the frame begins. With a couple of sheets of MDF to protect it, the top of my table saw makes a handy assembly table. Like a skyscraper, the frame continues to rise, but not without problems...

This is a coping sled I made for my raised panel door shop. We use another machine for our standard doors, but I built this while doing an entry door project for a church. We now use it for some of the specialty doors we do. Aluminum and angle iron will hold up in production for years...

After all the uproar over the weekend about projects, and posting, and such I got to thinking…I haven't posted a project or a blog in a long time. As all the typing was going on, in between my rantings, I was in my little garage shop making this cool blade holder. I got tired of hanging my...

With construction of the Baltic Birch Plywood with Oak Scupports & Casters, with the Mobile Clamp Rack, I no longer have to use up precious shop wall space or have clamps strung-out all over the shop wondering where they are. This is a fantastic shop fixture worth it's weight in stock! Built...

Feb 16, 2012 I know several of you have built one of these and Iʻve been wanting to do the same to make using my table saw safer. I found the article that appeared in Woodworkers Journal Jan-Feb 2009 and used it as a guide. Of course Iʻve made modifications. Most of the white surfaces that you...
