ometimes
solving a small problem
can lead
to bigger and better things
-
especially whm
it comes to design-
ing and
building projects for your shop.
lhke for example, a table saw tenon jig.
The problem with many
jigs
thaf
straddle a
table saw fence is the fit. To be accurate,
the
jig
needs to fit snug, but loose
enough to slide
smoothly over the fence.
So you spend time
getting the fit just right. Then
the next time
you use the jig, the humidity
has changed.
Now the
jig
is either
a bit too tight, or too
loose. Not a big problem,
but certainly an
annoying
one that can lead to poor results.
The solution
is simple
-build
a tenon
jig
that allows
you to adjust the fit. Now you
can
easily get a perfect fit on the fence every
time you use the jig. As an added bonus, the
jig
can be adjusted to fit virtually any
size
rip fmce. A good example
of a small prob-
lem leading to a big improvement. For
more,
dreck out the article beginning
on page 38.

Sled for Gutting f,liter Keys
Mter
joints
are nice to look at, but
the end grain surface doesnjt offer
a lot of gLtitg shength. One way
to reinforce the miter
(and
add a
decorative touch) is to add keys
that run
acnossthe
joint.
But cutting

You
needto hold the assembled
work-
pieceat 45oand then
passit over
a table saw blade or
router bit.
The

it
easy
to cut slob for miter keys.
As you see in tlre drawings
below,the

wood sides that hold a cariage.

HangingPegboard
No matter how many storage cabinets
I add to my shop, there are
still a nrun-
ber of items
(like
featherboards,
push
sticks, spare blades, and wrenches)
I
like to k*p near my
tools. And stor-
ing thoseitems is always
a challenge. I
solved the problembyhanging
small
pegboard panels near
the tools.
All
you
need
to do is build a simple
frame
around a piece of pegboard and
attach it to a ceiling
joist
with a couple
lengths of chain. Now I can keep those
essentialaccessorieswithin easyreach.

Wrench StoraEle
Rummaging through a
drawer every
time I needed to find
the wrenches for
my mobile router
table was a hassle. I
tried adding hooks
to the router table to
hold the wrenches, but
every time I'd
move the table
they'd fall off the hooks.
The solution
to this problem is shown
in the photo at left.
It's
just
a small hard-
wood
cleat attached to the table. After
adding
hooks, I installed a magnetic
door
catch to keep them in place.
Now I
celnmove the table and not worry about
losing the wrenches.
