That is awesome! I need to do this in my shop.
Thanks! It definitely has come in handy storing a toooon of crap until I get some other stuff built.

That’s sweet! What is going in the left compartment?
The top left? I dont know yet ... I was going to put a smaller drawer, but not sure. Right now it is my sacrificial fence which fits perfectly haha
If y’all mean the bottom left… so far this ..
going to build out more stuff once I figure out what would make sense there.

Finished up the tablesaw storage … will get some more pics hopefully tomorrow.

BW, when are y’all getting a break from that weather? It’s been a balmy 38* here and starting to warm a bit tomorrow.
All week sucked, Friday ended up being about 55 so it was all melted by then.

I am curious ... whats the real difference in hard wax oil finishes from like a Fiddes or Osmo to something a normal person could make in a crock pot? (Think like the oil/wax blends people make for cutting boards and stuff)
Is it just a higher quality oil or wax? different types of wax, maybe not beeswax?
Just curious as I sit here in day 4 of the ice storm locked in the house with everyone :)

so I was just messing around with AI to generate me some ideas for a wooden towel holder for my daughters bathroom ... this is what it came back with.
I was looking around online and didnt see anything quite like these ...

One of our product lines was flammable storage cabinets and cans by Justrite. One day, we had an insurance inspector do a survey and he found several cans of solvent and spray paint on some wooden shelves and asked to get a proper cabinet. Since the ones we sold were so expensive, I fudged and bought something like this, bought 2 ea. 4” dia vents for the sides and got a flammable decal for the front. Not only did it pass his inspection but also from a surprise visit from a fire marshal a few months later. Still being used to this day.
Hah! nice play there :)

I was just looking at fireproof cabinets on Uline. I did a quick measurement of the space my stuff takes. They have on that is 17' X 17" X 22" for $635 or $725 with the self closing door.😮
dang! those are pricey for sure!

I'll be honest, I just can't imagine doing a project without my miter saw.. Hope it works out for you! I just couldn't imagine a shop without it..
are you using it for precise cuts though? Or where does yours get the most use?
Mine will still be there, just stored under the CnC and rolled out when needed.

Isn't that where the miter saw goes?
At one time yes it was … part of the convo about moving it got lost.
mainly moving it to clear up room around the bandsaw and the back of the garage. I don’t use the miter saw enough to warrant it taking up that room. So going to make a mobile base for it I can pull out that and the saw when needed.

Also moved the drill press while I was at it … seems like it fits just fine .. doesn’t stick out that bad.

The issue with the fireproof cabinets is the price tag.. They are crazy expensive!
As for your cabinet, you just have to think about how it fits into your flow. Does placing a hand tool cabinet there work well with where you'd be doing hand tool work? Another thing to consider is where to store all that stuff that is currently there.
Without actually being there and assessing in total, it's just hard to offer advice. I count steps. What ever I use most at a particular location lives the fewest steps away. Sometimes that means you need to make homes for it and sometimes the home is already there. Sometimes it means you have to make decisions about how much you actually use something or if you even need something.. I've moved a bunch of stuff on making those hard decisions..
ah. Ya I figured they would probably be a pretty penny.
Currently it would be on the other side of where the workbench would be … however I am pretty sure I could flip the tablesaw and workbench/outfeed table to where it would be right behind me and 1-2 steps away vs 7-8 steps or so.

You're doing the same as I am with the finishes for now. Ultimately, I'd like to have a fireproof cabinet for that stuff..
Looking good!
Thanks!
hah! Ya I have just never seen a great solution out there that would fit my area.
what kind of fire proof cabinets have you looked into? Not a bad idea there …
while cleaning and working on the other 2 cabinets I had an epiphany … what if this other cabinet turns into my hand tool wall cabinet for awhile … take out the shelves so it’s a big open box. Could toss my big woodpecker squares and straight edges up there too. Build it to personally fit each tool. Would have plenty of room for expansion too. Maybe even have a slider door in it that would cover like 3/8 of a side when fully over. Inset some so it’s not sticking out. Not sure how to go about adding something like that after the fact … any ideas on that one about products that are out there? Or maybe just build a wooden track and just add it in there.

Current state …
screw / drill / sanding cabinets done for now
all the other crap that was on the shelves haha
Still now idea what to do with the paint/finish section … how to store and all that.

wow! what terrible support from Plesk!! using 6mo old backups in the first place is a rookie move .. they should have seen the date and asked a question before going forward. That is a joke!
This gives me flashbacks of when I ran the DBA team ... they had some screwups, but dang, nothing this bad.
Thanks for the hard work, I know this is such a time sink when crap like this happens!

I don’t think your crazy, I just don’t remember your shop layout so it may not give you the space you want or make it more efficient.
Here are some pictures … it’s messy mid project haha.
was also thinking maybe get rid of all the cabinets and then build a French clear wall to build up specific sections where they fit on there too. Maybe? Like specific cabinets and custom holders on there in between tools

Panel Sled

Posted
I use a panel sled, because I have not ever made a cross cut sled. I have not found a design I like enough spend the money on one and make it. Plus they are big and storage is an issue ...
