know, woodworking is certainly
Wed with them. They pop up when
we're workon aprojectand usnally
deal with some aspect of joinery,
assembly, or finishing.
But in this issue we started
with
a
differentkind of challenge: what
can
you build from just one sheet of ply-
wood? It also had to he practical and
stand up to everyday shop use.
If
you take alook at the front cover
you11 see we ended up with not just
one, but five great shop projects.
There's a pair of folding sawhorses,
an easy-to-build workbench, a roll-
around cutoff storage
him,
some
wall
cabinets and a couple of tool
totes.
It's
hard to believe you can get a shopfnl
of projectsfrom
just
five sheets of ply-
wood.
I
guess sometimesyou need a
challengejust to see whats possible.

Wall-Mounted Rags
There never seem to be enough rags in my shop to
clean up spills, apply finish, or wipe off my hands. While
oldT-shirts
will
do fine,
I
hdit easier
to
just buy a box of
rags.
The problem is the box of rags is so light When I
try
to
pull
one rag out, I end up picking up the whole box.
And
if
my hands are
dirty,
I
end up getting the box
dirty
as well
trying
to get the
rag
out
My solution is to mount the box to a pegboard tool
rack, asin the photo.
I
made two hardwood cleats to hold
the box. They are connected to threaded rod at the ends.
Each threaded rod is then screwed into athreaded insert
mounted
in
the pegboard, as in the inset photo. Now the
rag
box is secure and I can pull out one at a time.

from
ShopNotes
No. 62 makes it easy to make box
joints on the table saw. But I adapted
the design so that it works on my
router table,
as
shown in the photo.
The benefit of this is that since
it's even easierto set up.
However, the
jii
has two runners
to fit both miter gauge slots on the
table saw. So
I
needed
to
rout a
second miter gauge slot on my
router table. And for the jig to work
correctly, the new slot has to be per-
fectly parallel
to
the original slot.
To do this, I made a simple jig for
a hand-held router, as illustrated in
the drawing below. Its made from a
piece of
3h"
plywood.
