BearMan Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Hi everybody, Well,,, I'm Finally moved in, & have my new shop somewhat setup. My first project was to build a tool rack, to hold most of my stamping/carving tools. I happen to have some Mahogany on hand, so thats what I used. I tried to leave some space for expantion. We can never have "too" many tools,,,right? What do you think??? Take care, Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 17, 2009 WOW.....and I am having an hard time coming up with a slanted "project" tool rack (you know it hold about 6-8 tools and 1-2 knifes). I want it slanted towards the worker. This tool rack is going to be left at my Tandy LF where my Guild meets just because I feel like I am carrying a worksite box everytime I go in there to meet the O.F.C. club. Anyways, yours came out way more better than I could have dreamed of so far. Ways to you!! Greetings from Round Rock, Tx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greetings from Round Rock, Tx Get a piece of 4x4, slice off a wedge lengthwise with a tilted table saw blade, and then chock the piece under the drill press with the wedge you cut off and drill holes in the sliced off face. Does that make sense? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I think you may feel embarrassed for having that rack out on display. I think you should send it to me and I will keep it in the dark confines of my workbench for you.

Does that make sense? That makes perfect sense to me, Tashabear. As I am excused anything with a saw blade will you make me a very big one please?

LOLIn a heartbeat, if it was warm enough to go out in the garage and use the table saw and drill press. I even have pieces of 4x4 post left over from a home repair project to use. Can you wait till spring? ;-)Planning on the same thing but drilling first and then cutting the wedge out ;0)Dammit, that's even better. Now I have to make one (when it's warmer).

tgidry Report post Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Great job it looks real nice. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use your and make a similar one for myself. I don't have mahogany but I do have some hundred year old cypress. I'll get it done as soon as I get off this oil rig and post a picture. Thanks for the idea.
