Several months ago I was going to get plans for a tool chest and posted my plans on my Wood Talk Online blog.
“My plan is to build a large, hanging tool chest for the shop based on a plan I found in FW's 2007 issue of Tools & Shops. Just waiting on the plans (yes I had to buy the paper as no SketchUp or other digital form was available…sigh).
“
It has surfaced again. Got the plans no problem. Got the baltic birch plywood and hard maple. Sorted out the French Cleat positioning in my shop. Now I am rebuilding my tablesaw crosscut sled so it can double as a box joint jig for this puppy.
Half-way there…resurfaced the sled with hardboard and made the side left of the blade kerf adjustable by up to an inch to keep that zero clearance thing I love about this sled. Now to put together the removable 1/2” box joint jig…but (unfortunately) vacation was over and I had to go back to work (the one that pays for this wonderful hobby)... heavy sigh.
