A Shop Organizer for your Power Tools! Woodsmith 2023-07-07 | You can find the step-by-step plans to build this Shop Organizer here: http://woodsmithplans.com/plan/shop-organizer/?apid=36564This wall-mounted system packs in a lot of storage — and an extra worksurface. It’s easy to build and configure to meet your needs.Two primary approaches to shop storage dominate project design: closed and open. This concept applies to everything from portable tool totes to full-on “one-wall workshop” systems. This project falls into the open concept. It follows the idea of “See it, use it, don’t lose it.” John Doyle, the designer, took inspiration from several sources. Woodsmith has featured several versions of wall-mounted shelves and organizers in the past. So he expanded on the idea to create a two-part combo unit. Stand back from the project a bit and you can see the other influence — a dining room hutch. Eye-level storage and display for smaller items, a small worksurface or staging area, and a bulk storage area down below. The key to making this all work is providing a lot of options without creating a bunch of overly specific spaces. This project shows a variety of options to consider. Before you dive in, I’d prefer you take a look at your current needs (or where they’re headed). Then mix and match the solutions you like, and skip past those that don’t apply. A strong argument in favor of building this workstation for your shop is the construction. We used Baltic birch plywood because the cut edges are consistent and clean looking. So you don’t need to apply edging or face frames. The joinery consists of dadoes and rabbets backed up with glue and screws. Considering the storage potential, not much stands in your way.Subscribe to Woodsmith to receive tips, plans, projects, and techniques both in print, and in video. It’s all at www.woodsmith.com.

CNC Basecamp E019: Curved Plywood Edging Woodsmith 2023-04-04 | Flat, stable, and available with many different species of face veneers, plywood is a fantastic material for building furniture and all sorts of shop projects. The exposed veneer layers on the edges offer a look of basic functionality, which can play into a lively, modern aesthetic, but sometimes those plywood edges aren’t wanted and need to be covered up. Veneer tape is fast but does not produce a durable, high-wearing edge, and no edge profile can be applied. The best answer is often an edge of thick, solid wood. Solid wood can take a hit, it can be profiled with a router for style, and adds the option of contrasting color and grain.Most projects have straight edges, so ripping edging on the table saw is easy. But what about curves? The round corners of a conference table can be dealt with by turning a ring on the lathe (or with a trammel and router) that has an inside diameter matching the plywood table’s inner form. The ring is cut into four segments, applied, and straight edging fills in between. But what about a table that has a flowing complex shape, such as a flower? The old school way is to laboriously create master templates and pattern route the parts. The new and better way is to use your CNC router.Find more details and get the project downloads here: woodsmith.com/article/episode-019-curved-plywood-edgingSubscribe to Woodsmith to receive tips, plans, projects, and techniques both in print, and in video.
