Putting some drawers on the hegner stsnd

[Allen levine]

I put drawers on any workbench because I have a garage shop and storage is a real headache 

not that a hegner metal stand takes up much space but after cleaning up the shop last week I found a lot of oddball small pieces of plywood and bins of hardwoods

so i put slots at 22.5 degrees on some junk 2x4's and built a small 2 drawer parts or blade cabinet into the stand

the slots on the bottom of the 2 bys fit over the bottom support aprons of the triangle stand

hey I'm just trying to keep busy between projects

i might attach some magnetic held plastic tubes for blades to the metal also 

I have a lot of almost empty spray paint and a lot of knobs I salvage from trash 

my wife won't let me take slides or handles off of tossed furniture anymore

the fronts are Spanish cedar with some oil rubbed on

I'm pissed off I sold my jet 1642 lathe recently with mountains of accessories including pen kits and supplies 

I had around 2 dozen plastic tubes I could have used for blades

Good idea, Al.

I used these candy tubes less

candy for blade holders

cut one more stick figure for a great niece visiting us tomorrow

she has a cat 

big bash tomorrow at my house celebrating 4 birthdays in March including my 70 th on Thursday 

 

I don't have that big of a selection of blades so maybe I will fill a few with candy

I use test tubes and a test tube holder (plastic).  Got them real cheap off of eBay.  I have a little over 30 different sizes and types of blades.  I only use Flying Dutchman and Pegas blades brands.
