I hang them on the wall. But now that my walls are filled who knows where I’ll put them, hang them from the ceiling? -- Only the Shadow knows.................... |

I with John. I drill a hole in mine and hang them from the ceiling joists and on my pegboard walls. -- Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful- Joshua Marine |

With hanging the jigs and sleds instead of setting them on a flat surface do they warp or distort in anyway especialy during climate change? -- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings |

I do the same as John and Scott, hang them from the ceiling joists in my basement workshop. I haven’t noticed any warping or distortion of the jigs- just knots on my head because of the low ceiling! I also hang some on the tool where they are going to be used, if they are small enough. -- Lew- Time traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins! |

it’s a good question… I leave mine lying around and constantly have to move them out of the way. |

Thank you for your “inspiring” answers. I will look for wall space, which there is very little of, and a step stool so I can reach the ceiling. The cross cut miter sled can be propped up under the table saw extension table and be out of the way, but still handy. -- -Willing to try |

I agree to the idea of hanging all jigs on the wall. I tend to make a duplicate jig if they are out of my sight, esp the simple and the small one. -- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY. |
