I'm still on my early spring cleaning kick. My Kreg furniture tool has been lonely so I decided to build some needed shop accessories. I had so much assorted wood in the shop, so I decided to build a storage rack from a drawing I found on Pinterest. It's amazing how much wood fits in there. Bigger boards are mounted in the back. I learned a very important lesson. All the shelves and dividers are dado'ed and I found out that 3/4" and 1/2" plywood thickness are not actually that size. I did a lot of shim adjustments on my stack dado until I got a good fit. A Cheap HF digital micrometer is a big help. I built a rack for all my drills. Then my belt sander (HF) started giving me fits so it was time to upgrade. No matter what the label was on the outside, (or color) the one I wanted looked exactly the same but there was a big difference in price. I checked out that big river in Brazil and they had a WEN for a great price and free shipping! I had all my sanding stuff all over the place so my Kreg buddy helped me out again. I had a drawing for a router stand I have wanted to build and modified it and started building. When it was finished, I realized it was for a router height, not a sander height. I had to knock it down a few inches. Now everything is in a convenient place (and labeled) and both projects are on wheels. It's time to let my Kreg tool be lonely again. My Scroll Saw is calling!
