  You're right. These would be pretty handy. I'd like to see the feet pivot for easier/less-space-taking storage.

Project 3: Flip-through tool rack
- Student One on 08 Mar 14
  
  I also really like these. This could possibly save use some wall space in the tool room.

  These really could save a lot of space! I like the wrench board; I could finally get all of the wrenches out of that unorganized drawer! We'd have to make sure the wrenches can't easily fall off the "page", but I think I have an idea to solve that.

Floating Shelves - Woodworking Projects - American Woodworker - 3 views

joinery

shared by Bryan Koppert on 09 Mar 14 - No Cached

The secret was torsion-box construction. A torsion box is a simple grid of slender ribs glued between thin plywood skins. It makes these shelves stiff and flat, yet incredibly light. This rigid architecture means torsion-box shelves won’t sag or twist, and they can be mounted without any external support.

  I've never tried this, but I'd like to.

11. Clamp the three shelf components together without glue, so you can check the fit of the miter joints. Use plywood braces to support the upper shelf and hold everything square.

6. Rout the edges flush. Use a second shelf to support the router and a piece of scrap plywood as a spacer.

  This could be very helpful.

Make micro adjustments with a disc sander
- Bryan Koppert on 03 Mar 14
  
  I've never seen this work as well as they claim it does. If you don't do the same thing to all the pieces, the edges won't line up right.

  I tried this, even though you told me it wouldn't work very well. You were right; it didn't work very well. I rounded the miter a bit and made it worse.

Customize a drafting square

  Not a bad idea, but I would still check the actual cut. Practice piece!

Stop cutting creep

The 60-second squeeze
- Bryan Koppert on 03 Mar 14
  
  I'd let the glue tack a little bit before putting the pieces together, but don't wait too long.

Grain match matters

  Good idea, but it could increase waste. The better look might be worth the waste.

Use hot water to soften any paper or glue left on the wood, then scrape it away and sand as usual. 
- Student One on 08 Mar 14
  
  I used too much water, and it weakened the joint. One spot actually came apart. I would recommend using hand tools to get rid of excess stuff.

  I was afraid of that. We have to remember that the normal wood glue we use is water soluble. That's why for cutting boards or outside projects we have to use a different type of glue.
