Assembly Table Top

Assembly Table Top

When building the rolling storage unit I was bothered a lot by my inability to get the cabinet to stay square.  Part of the problem (though not all of it), I realized, was that I really don’t have a reliably flat surface to work on when trying to glue up a piece.  Anything too big to fit on the tablesaw’s flat-ground cast iron table was getting assembled on my knock-down assembly table with its laminate and plywood top.  A top which, I couldn’t help but notice, has been getting decidedly less flat over time. That’s...

With the case fully assembled, my storage unit was starting to look pretty good.  Now came the detail work. Shelves The three adjustable shelves are very simple things, just a painted plywood piece with a strip of maple at the front.  I test-fitted them into their openings, sanded the maple edging and applied it with glue.  While that dried, I cut a dozen 1-inch lengths of 1/4-inch dowel on the bandsaw and sanded a chamfer on each end to make them easier to slip into and out of the holes. One mistake I’ve made on previous projects was...

Rolling Storage Unit build, part two

Now that I had my vertical case parts, the next part was pretty simple. Top and Bottom The top for my rolling storage unit is a piece of 3/4-inch MDF 72 inches long and 19 wide.  To give it rigidity, it is trimmed in 1-1/2 inch wide pieces of 1-inch thick maple.  It will overhang the finished case by 1 inch on each end and be flush at the front and rear. There is nothing particularly special about the top.  I mitered the corners of my trim pieces and attached them to the MDF with biscuits and glue to make the assembly. The MDF panel got...

Rack ’em Up

I’ve already shown you the craptastic 2×4 shelf unit where I’ve been storing my lumber and sheet goods, and my plans for a better system.  One part of the plan was executed successfully today: This is the Wood River HD lumber rack that I mentioned in a previous post, except this photo is actually taken from my garage workshop.  Yay! To start with, I bought two of the Wood River kits.  Each kit comes with two steel tubes, standoffs for mounting against the wall, and three pairs of shelf standards.  The tubes are 44 inches long...

Rolling Storage Unit design

There’s one part of my shop that I’ve never shown you.  It’s the area where I store lumber, sheet goods, and also the non-woodworking items that one normally keeps in a garage.  Here it is:   Yeah, it’s kind of a mess.  At the back of all that is a wooden shelf unit made from 2×4 and plywood.  It is 6 feet wide, 6 feet tall, and 2 feet deep; it has three shelves, roughly 3 feet apart, and a pair of MDF runners that provide storage for items long enough to stretch between them.  Normally, when I start a new project...

Getting On Track

I work a lot with sheet goods, as you may have noticed.  Usually when a project calls for panels, unless there is a compelling reason otherwise I tend to use hardwood veneer plywood for furniture projects, and usually either less expensive plywood or MDF for shop furniture. The great thing about sheet goods is they’re easy to work with.  They start out with edges that are straight, square, and parallel to each other, so in theory it’s not difficult to cut them into parts with those same properties.  In practice, though, I tend to...

A few upgrades

Posted by on Aug 30, 2014 in Shop | Comments Off on A few upgrades

It’s been almost a year since I got my shop back, and things have changed quite a bit from the photo in my first post, “The Scene of the Crime.” I’ve made a number of upgrades since that original photo and you can most of them in the new photo above.  In no particular order, they are: The old plywood bench, which had once been a router table and then just a work surface with storage, has been replaced by my new router table. The pathetic Tradesman drill press is gone; in its place is a Jet JDP-12 on a mobile stand that...

My new router table was functional and had a working fence, so as planned I used it to finish the build.  Very meta.  ;^)   Drawers I’d already built and mounted the two wide storage drawers — they were just waiting on me to attach the drawer fronts and pulls.  But before doing that I addressed the small drawers. My plan shows seven small drawers, 4 on the left side and 3 on the right.  Each drawer has common dimensions: 7 inches wide, 19 inches long, and sides 2-1/2 inches high.  On my original table the bit drawers were...

Router table build, part 4

This router table build is taking a long time, I know.  A large part of the reason for that is that I’ve been out of town or too busy to work in the shop for quite a few recent weekends.  Still, slow progress beats no progress. My replacement mounting pads arrived while I was out of town, so one of the first things I did when I got home was to mount my PC 890 router motor into the Woodpecker lift.  It went in easily and is a cinch to raise and lower quickly.  The motor comes up far enough that the entire collet and nut area is above the...
