7 Must- HaveFiles
We'llshow you the tools you need to get super
smoothshapes
in allmaterials.
ightweight or sturdy.Whenit comes
to building projectsfor the shop,
you usually get one or the other but not
both. But that's exactly what we wanted for
the Worktable featured on page 36.A large,
sturdy worksurface that was light enough
to be easily carried anywhere.
To keep the weight dowry we started
with lightweight materials -7/4" birch ply-
wood and some pine. Nothing fancy. In
fact, everything came from a local home
center. Then to make it even lighter, Chris
Fitch (SeniorProjectDesigner) started rout-
ing away any excessmaterial. His challenge
was to remove enough material to make it
lighter, without making it flimsy.
Well, we ended up with a compact, fold-
ing table supported by four lightweight
plywood "I-beams." The entire project
weighs in a bit over L5lbs.
Certainly lightweight, but is it sturdy? To
find out we carried out a little unscientific
test.We put four average-sizedwoodwork-
ers on top of the table (photo above). Now
I'm not going to recommend that you use
this project asa scaffold or an engine stand,
but as you can see it's plenty sturdy for a
portable worksurface

Clamping small and odd-shaped pieces
is sometimes a drallenge. But Ite
found an effective, yet simple clamping
method. It involves using circular cams
and cleats on a plywood base.
As you can see in the photo beloW I
used 4"-dia. plywood disks. I drilled a
small hole sized for a #8 screw that was
offset about he" from the center of the
disk. This off-center hole is what tums
the disk into a cam for clamping action.
To use the cams, I just fasten them
to a piece of plywood so the shortest
" radius" is against the project This way,
asyou tum the disk, its cam action tight-
ens against the project. The great thing
about this is that you can position the
cams right where you need them.
For small frames like you seebelow, I
fasten two cleats at right angles.You can
nestle one comer of the frame against
the cleats and use the cams to apply
clamping presswe. It's an easy system
that's prevented a lot of frustration.
