These are meant to hang under an existing shelf and attach to wooden shelf brackets like this:
I also made 3 storage boxes from plywood to haul necessities back and forth to the cabin in:
I don't know about you, but I never seem to have enough places to put hardware. So I made these two little screw caddies:
And here is my first attempt at half-blind dovetails on an upcoming project - a bookcase for the cabin.
For the cabin bookcase glue up, I had to have 3 new clamps. So I made a funky little clamp rack to store them on that fit into the little bit of space I had left. It attaches to the wooden shelf brackets with the screws you can see in the front, as well as two more pocket hole screws in the rear.
Also on the shop organization and storage front, I cleaned up a really messy corner where I had been stockpiling metal. Or at least that was the original idea, but lots of wood ended up in the pile as well so I was guaranteed to never be able to find what I needed in there. So I set up this little system for storing and organizing the metal. It's just a little box made from scrap spruce, joined with rabbets and brads at the corners. There are removable 1/4 inch plywood dividers installed in dadoes. The upper divider is just a 2 x 4 ripped in half with some holes drilled in it to match the dividers in the lower box. Dowels are inserted in the holes to correspond to the divider settings in the lower unit.
The wood and other junk that was in the pile was sorted, and some thrown away. I installed a small shelf on a the bottom section of my lumber rack, as seen in this picture, to hold short stock I'm saving. You can see the upper section is still in major need of some cleanup.
