pkinneb Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Just now, TIODS said: Yup.. It comes with a stand but, I found the stand to be a little too low for my liking. I also needed some storage for table saw accessories and some other stuff so, just made sense for me. On that note.. Big thanks @Llama who dug up some measurements for me! Cool! I wish my General drum sander was that way it takes up a pretty good chunk of real estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted June 7, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Darn, I go out of town for 24 hrs. And come back to find it finished and a name for most of the drawers. Great looking. I went out Sat. Morn. between rain storms and bought 4 sheets of ply ( 2 ea. 3/4", 1 ea. 1/4" and 1 ea. bb, 5x5) and knocked out most of the case by Sat. evening. You're right, this is one heavy mother! I catch up with Ya in about 3 weeks ?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hah, my projects play 3rd and 4th fiddle, so no journal on this one but I do appreciate seeing what it's supposed to look like from yours. Thanks again for the inspiration! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trace the tool you want to inlay, use a small router bit to route out the shape, paint a color of your choice unless you like pink. I think I've done most of my shop on about 10 bucks. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toss it up so others can see the changes you made for your shop! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Dado drawer could have been much thinner, but hindsights always 20/20. Great results ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it could have. The other drawers are pretty deep at 8" so, just used the remaining space for that drawer. It is a little deep as is but, was too shallow to get 2 drawers out of it.

Popular Post ..Kev Posted June 7, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Since I don't keep a lot of sheet sand paper, I set up one drawer for shop sanding supplies. I also hung some the the other TS accessories on the back.. The sled isn't hung yet, need a little hardware to do it the way I want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thats a nice set up for the sheet sand paper. Other then the drawer for the Tenoning jig were any of the drawers designed depth or width wise for a specific purpose? I am wondering because I have done that on a few pieces of shop furniture and find it an interesting challenge to make it all work out to were all drawers are useful.

I am wondering because I have done that on a few pieces of shop furniture and find it an interesting challenge to make it all work out to were all drawers are useful. I pretty much just wanted fairly deep drawers (around 8") and what ever was left became the top drawer. That's why the drawer with the dado stack in it is a little deeper than it needs to be. In hindsight, I probably should have figured out what all I wanted in it and then spent a little more time on design. To be honest, I ended up with more storage than I realized so, it's turned out to be a happy accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have that right..I dont need a sander stand but I could find something to go on this one. I dont care for steel stands myself..I like the fact that its not overbuilt with dovetails and all that stuff and it will last just fine..I mean its a shop..Great work Tiods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 A little more done this morning. Moved all my FT paper over. Just made sense as the other sanding supplies are in the drawer below this one. I like to use the FT boxes and just remove the lids. Lots of room here to add more if needed. Not a huge jump to go from sanding to power carving so, I also moved that equipment into a drawer. I'll probably inlay this drawer later today. Will have to work on the layout a bit as it's pretty crowded in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 I don't have those tools so it is hard for me to judge the size but in the inlay would it be possible to store the guards, I think, (the two items to the right of the Milwaukee tool) on edge to get more room? Also the extra handle, is the drawer deep enough to store up right in the inlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some other rotary cutters that I want to store there as well. I'll get the foam cut to fit the drawer and then put it on the bench to really get a good look at the layout.

Seeing all this organising is making me want to make a few changes in my shop. Yes.. I bought the small sander (ETS 125) first to replace the old ROS. Then I bought the RO150 and the ETS 150/5 later so, have the need for the 2 different sized paper. Perhaps once the stash of paper is gone I'll toss the 125 up for sale but, it's still a great sander! 1 hour ago, midtnwoodworker said: This site is pretty bad if you are not content with your current setup/tools.

When you are organized and your space is kept clean, it's easier to be productive. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
