t's
no
secret
that storage
projects
generate
I
a
rot
ol
interest
among
woodworkers.
It's
a
simple
fact,
we
cor.rld
all
use
more
storage.
In
this
issue,
you'll find
a
couple of
solutions to
the
problem
-
for large
or small
needs.
Take a
look
at the
photo
at
left
for
a
ver-
satile approach. The
concept behind
this
modular
storage
system
is
to
create easy-
to-build
components
that you
can
mix
and
match. This
way,
you build what
you
need
to suit the
space
at hand.
And if
your
needs
change,
simply add a new
component
(or
two). Plus, the heavy-duty worksurfaces
are
a
great
addition
to any
shop.
We
didn't
leave small
needs
unanswered
either. Chris Fitch, one
of
our
designers,
came
up with
a
great
way
to
store sharp-
ening
stones.
You know,
the ones
you
have
sitting
on
a
shelf
or
in
a
drawer
where they
can
get
chipped or
cracked.
Well, his
solu-
tion
(page
42) only requires
a
couple
scraps
of
wood
and an aftemoon to make.
And
it's
easy
to customize the look
of
each
box.
On page
34
you'll
read about
a
unique
jig for
your
table
saw that
allows
you
to
accurately
cut
small-scale workpieces.
And
speaking
of
accuracy,
check
out
the
shop-
made layout
and
measuring
tools
starting on
page
16.
These
classic
tools answer
big-time
needs.
The
construction
is
easy,
but
they
will
last
for
generations.
There's
a
lot going on
and
we wanted
to
include
even more. Our solution?

vided

Easy
Glampin$
Station
Over the
years,
I
realized
that I
spend
a
lot of time doing repetitive
tasks, like clamping and unclamp-
ing
the workpieces
or
project
I'm
working
on. Recently,
I
sat
down
to
design something
that would
help
save
time when
building
a
project
that
involves
a
lot
of
clamping.
The result
is
shown
in
the
drawings
and
main
photo. This clamping station
has
proven
to
be versatile and a big
helping hand
in
the shop. Best of
all, it's quick
to
build.
It
starts
with a
plywood
base.
Slots
along
two
edges
are
designed
to
house
bar
clamps
or
locking clamps
typically
used on
a
drill
press table
(photo
and
detail
above).
I
cut the
slots using
a
router
and a shop-made template
for consistent size and spacing.
Next
comes
the top. For this, I
used plywood
with
laminate for
a
smooth, easy-to-clean
worksur-
face.
A
couple of
hardwood
cleats
on two
edges
finish
it
up.
The
cleats
make
it
easy
to
assemble
and
square
up
frames of all types.
To use the clamping station,
I
set
it
on
my
benchtop so the slots
overhang the edges
of
the bench.
The
slots accommodate
a
wide
range
of
clamps,
including
bar
clamps,
for
seemingly
endless
clamping options.

Work Sharp
Disk
Storage
Since
purchasing
a
Work
Sharp
3000
sharpening
sys-
tem,
it
rarely
leaves
my
benchtop. I
use
it all
the
time
to touch
up
the
edges of
my
chisels and plane irons.
The only problem
I've had
is
where and
how
to
store
all
of
the sharpening disks.
I
don't
want to risk chipphg
or
breaking the glass
or
slot-
ted plastic disks.
The
holder you
see
above solves the problem.
It
stores the
disks safely and
securely.
The holder
consists
of
a
bottom,
two
sides, and a handle
for portability.

Dadoes
are sized
to
hold
the
disks
securely
and protect them
from
damage.
The
center dado captures
the
handle.
To
build
the holder,
I
started
with
an
extra-wide blank of
%"
plywood.
This
ensures that the
dadoes
will
be aligned
when
assembled.
The drawing below
gives
you all
the
details.
After the
da-
does are
cut,
you
can
trim
the pieces to
final
size
then
cut
a rabbet
in
the
sides
before assembly.
