TS Blade Storage Rack

[Douglas Robinson]

My storage disease continues. I made this rack for my TS blades based on a Wood Magazine plan I found. Only problem is I still have 2 blades left. :BangHead:. I plan on building something on every inch of wall space!! :gar-Bi

We aren't getting ready for the crawl by chance are we :gar-Bi?

Looks good Doug. What size are the slots?

Hey Doug, great looking storage rack :icon_thum. I need to build one too, but I'm short two blades. How 'bout you send over a Freud and WWII and we'll even things out? :lol:

I see what he's doing. He wanted to show off all those Bessey clamps. Talk about a "Gloat". :notworthy:
I don't blame him, I would too. Very nice job, Doug.

Tom: Now that my big projects are done I'm doing small ones. I am also avoiding doing a couple that are less fun, but necessary.

Bob: Most of the blades are from my Dado set. I doubt you would want the ones I didn't hang. Nice try though. :laughing7

You're wasting space Doug. Just epoxy a couple of magnets to the bandsaw doors, and stick those two blades there Good looking wall rack there.

I'm going to enjoy checking out all the jigs, fixtures and toolovations in your shop in a couple of weeks! :toolon't forget to sweep and put a fresh coat of wax in your hair.

Doug,

That is a very nice ra............ :icon_conf um......... I really like the device you've made to store your TS blades. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: And I really like its placement right next to your impressive bessey collection (sneaky gloat). ;-) :icon_thum

The real gloat behinfd the Bessey clamps is that I bought most of them of $20/each. A WW'er in Maryland posted an ad for his big tools saying he was giving woodworking up. I contacted him and said I didn't want his tools but I was interested in any clamps. He said I could have all his Besseys for $20 each. I was in my car as fast as I could get there! Ended up buying his Delta Mortiser and Tenoning jig as well.:toothy9: That was 3-4 years ago. Still makes me smile.

Your post shows that we have never met. I have almost NO hair. :sad5: :gar-Bi Maybe I'll have GeorgeL use his buffer on my dome. :rotflm:

Trent, you beat me to it man.

Doug, you are throwing out some great ideas. Nice execution on those projects. Was the clamp rack from a plan?

 

[Douglas Robinson]

Mike:

Yes: It was a tip from an old issue of FWW. The separate clamp racks were supposed to be hinged together so that they swung like pages of a book. The problem was the weight of the clamps made the two pivoting racks sag. So I mounted them separately. There are three total.

If I was a welder I would try making them out of metal. I still like the space saving idea.

BTW the top where the clamp heads rest is covered with an adhesive back cushion material.

You're starting to scare me, Doug :wwink:
Awesome organization!
Though I did see an empty spot to the left of the receptacle :mrgreen:
