here's an interesting
wealth of ideas and different ap-
proaches to everyday problems.
For example, I've always lied
working with cabinet scrapers.
(It's a small piece of thin steel
used to scrape a surface smooth,
rather than using sandpaper.)
I used a very traditional
method for formingthe edge with
a mill file first, then honing with
a stone, and finally rolling the
edge with a burnisher.
Oneday Iwas grumblingahout
this long process, especially the
second step (honingwith a stone).
So
I decided to skip that step. It
worked great.
As I was talkingaboutmy new-
found method, Ken Munkel (our
design director) told me about
the method he uses that involves
reshaping the edge of scraper to
make it even faster to sharpen.
Now one of my favoritetools is
even easier to use.
NEW FEMWRE.
In this issue,
we're introducing a new feature,
the Hardware Store. The idea is
to present information on in-
dividual pieces of hardware, par-
ticularly how to installthem. This
first time out, the Soss Invisible
hinge gets the attention.
100,000
SUBSCRIBERS.
One last
note. When we introduced Shop-
Notes, we had no idea how it
would be received.
Well, the response has been
phenomenal. We already have
over 100,000 new subscribers in
the first two months.
I want to thank you for giving
us a
try.
And a special thanks to
those who wrote to us with your
comments, praise, concerns, and
well-wishes.
I hope you enjoy this issue.

wanted for your shop..
.
where
would you put it all?
Shop storage always seems to
be at the top of every wood-
worker's wish list.
It's no different in our shop.
All
too frequently I hear the cry,
where are the No. 8 screws?
Screws, like a million other sup
plies are usually in the small box
they came in, and that's missing.
Okay, I know you can get plas-
tic bins or one of those cases with
dozens of small plastic drawers.
We even have some in our shop.
But deep down, I've always
wanted to replace them with
some nice wooden boxes. More
than that, I wanted a shop
storage system.
Ideally, this system would
solve three nagging problems.
First,the boxes would be quick
and easy to build. (Nobody likes
to spend a lot of time building
storage boxes.)
Second, I wanted boxes that
were transportable. That is, I
wanted to carry individual boxes
to wherever I was working.
Third,
I
wanted an easy way to
get a label on the box that wasbig
enough so I could read it, and
easy to change whenever I
needed to.
Jan Svec(ourproject designer)
came up with exactly the design
I
was
looking for (page 16).
It
sure has helped organize our
shop.

With the rabbets
complete, cut a l/s"-deep groove

Masonite bottoms, see Fig. la
To

to
each dimension. Next, cut two

the trays, see Fig.

TOP COVER
&
BASE
After you've glued up the trays,
work can begin on the
top
cover
(EJ and
base
(F).
Start
by edge-
gluing enough 3/4"-thick stock
to
form two blanks, see Fig. 4.
Thelength of the top cover and
base is the same
as
the length of
the trays (11").
But
to dowthe
caddy to fit around the drill press
column, the top cover and base
are cut 41/2" wider than the trays
(101/2"),
see Fig. 4.
NOTCHES.
A
section of the top
cover becomes the clamp used to
hold the caddy to the drill press
column. To make this clamp, first
lay out a circle on both blanks.
Then rip the top cover and base
through the center of the circle
(to a width of
8"),
see Fig.
4.
Now cut out the half-circle
notches with a sabre saw. Then
trim the cut-off section of the top
cover toform the elamppiece(G),
see Fig.
5.
MOUNTING HOLES
The only thing left
is
to
drill
the
holes for attaching the damp to
the top cover with lag screws. To
make sure that these holes
are
aligned, lay out the hole locations
on both the top cover and clamp
at the same time, see Fig. 6.
I used
an
auxiliary fence on the
drill press table to support the
workpiece, see Fig.
7.
With the
feucein place, drill two 1/4" shank
holes through the clamp. Then,
drill two 3/16" pilot holes in the
top cover, see Fig. 8.
