What to make...

[martlewis]

Hi all,

It's been over a month since I've had any shop time and now I have the weekend off. Only problem is I have a sheet and a half of spare 3/4 good quality ply and on't know what to build. Was thinking something for the workshop. Yep it is building for the sake of it... So what!!!

Anyone got any suggestions for a weekend project?

Got the time to build, just don't know what to build :?:

Cheers guys.

Martin

What about a couple of good shooting boards, ply's ideal stuff for that. Some good info here - Rob

Hanging tool cabinet?

I would definitly recommend a hanging tool cabinet, I knocked one up with a range of waste ply that i had laying around, took only a few hours, and has been a huge help in keeping me organised. If you run a search on the forum you should find the thread.

Here's a pic of it:

Thats a nice tool cabinet you got there Byron, just what I could do with. I will have to see if someone can build me one. I would if I had the time. :lol: At the moment most of my hand tools are sitting on shelves or hanging around the shop! :roll:

Well I made it into the shop. Some of you may remember a long time back I bought a SIP t/s after lots of advice on here, and then a few months back I bought an EB3. Well after waiting a month for the EB3 I never got around to using it.

Decided to just check and adjust the t/s alignment... pig of a job on the sip. Alsogot the EB3 aligned... Oh it's time to pack up. Never got any work done.

Already have a :norm: router table awaiting some drawers. Ordered some slides from Buller, just waiting for them to turn up.

I think the hanging tool chest may be the one tomorrow, not many hand tools tho, unless there are any better ideas in the mean time.
