Chet Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Submitted the old forum by Chet Getting the new jig saw prompted me to want to build something storage wise so I can have it out and ready to use. So today I set out to build something to hold my drill, a driver and the saw. Its made out of birch ply and trimmed out with some cherry I dug out of the burn bucket. It also has three small drawers for who knows what. Tomorrow I will see what finishes I have and needs to be used up. The storage area for the saw has a slot down the center of the shelf so that I can slide it in without removing the blade. Follow up posts 1) Small and compact, I like it! I like the mitered corners! Almost looks like it needs a handle on the top so you can carry it with you. 2) Really cool build Chet! I definately need to do something similiar. 3) Nice job Chet! Those small drawers should hold saw bits and jigsaw blades. 4) Funny story... I had to get creative building the drawers. They are just some 1/4 ply. But when I went to cut the miters for the trim on the table saw I adjusted the fence to 45 on my table saw sled and inadvertently left a corner of the fence hanging of the blade side of the fence. It made contact with the blade and fired the brake. I have heard of guys doing this and I new I had to slide the fence over, I just messed up. So now I need a new brake and new cross cut blade. So I used the bandsaw, router table, drum sander and spindle sander to make the drawers instead of doing everything on the table saw. 5) I seem to remember coming close to that when I was there.. Difference would have been that it would have been my fault...lol 6) That’s a bitch! Must be a SawStop thingy? Glad you could re-coup. 7) Nobody can re-coop ? One last picture. Here it is in its final location, unless move it somewhere else someday. I sprayed three coats of blonde shellac, mainly because it needed to be used and it drys fast so I got three coats on in about an hour and a half. I have to be honest, I didn't make any effort to patch/hide/fix the brad nail holes on the trim, its just a box in the shop and at this point it wasn't a skill I felt the need to work on. 9) Love it! That works so awesome in your shop! Having been there, I know exactly where that's sitting and how it works in your flow! Pure awesome!
