PostalTom Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Here's mine. The bench is probably 10-12 years old, maybe a little older. I can't remember exactly when I made it. I made it pretty much word for word from a set of plans in Woodsmith. The blue strip in front is t-track, with a gap in the middle to facilitate using clamps, hold downs, etc. That comes in pretty handy at times. You can see my router table, built from plans in Shop Notes, to the right. That was I PITA to build, still not completely happy with it. I'll get back to it and fine tune it someday. The storage cabinet in the base was built and installed about a year or so later. Off to the right end of the bench, between the bench and router table, is a pull out vertical panel for chisels, screwdrivers, squares, etc. I'll post a picture of that if anyone is interested.

Popular Post PostalTom Posted October 28, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) This picture shows the tools installed on the tool rack.This next picture shows the rare earth magnets used to keep the chisels and combination square from bouncing around.This is the other side of the rack.And again, showing the rare earth magnets used to keep the squares in place. This is one of the handiest things I have done for my shop. It keeps the tools I use the most right at hand, without having to dig through a drawer to find them. I still have room to add some more holders, but right now this works fine for me. Thanks for looking. Edited October 28, 2016 by PostalTom messed up on pictures.

Stick486 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 that is one squared away tool drawer... I like it a lot... if you ever need a guard for the chisels... lots of colors and sizes... something else you can do w/ them...

Gene Howe Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Tom, that's a really nice bench and storage system. Mine needs updated and, you've given me lots of ideas. Thanks.

BTW: Plane is a Millers Falls No. 56B......giving it a bit of work, while the Cordovan 60-1/2 tales a rest. Roundovers, the easy way?
