W-thick maple for most shelves.) If the bottom of the tool is square or rectangular, cut the shelf about W oversize. Or, for screwdrivers, router bits, and other shanked items, cut the shelf to size, and drill holes for the tool shanks where shown on the Screwdriver Holder drawing. The distance between holes depends on the items you intend to store.

Next, add the banding strips

These should extend high enough above the shelf (usually about W) to keep the tool from being bumped off. We used banded shelves for planes, sharpening stones, drill bit index boxes, and other flat-bottomed items. If the tool's outline is irregular like that of the caliper holder on the opposite page, mark a portion of the tool's outline on W stock. Then, cut the outline to shape.

5 Mask the surrounding areas and catches, and apply a clear finish to the face strips, door stops, mounting strips, and door.

6 Mask the maple face strips (F, G), and then paint the cabinet.

7 Measure the openings, and have an acrylic panel cut to fit. Secure the panel with the stops (L, M).

8 Reattach the wire pull and hinges to the door. Reattach the door to the cabinet.

9 To mount the back (A) to the wall, locate the stud(s), and position the back. Drill mounting holes through the top and bottom of the back, centered over the stud(s). Check for plumb and level, and secure the back to the wall. Fit the cabinet assembly onto the back, and secure it to the back by driving a set of screws

through the hanger strip (E) and into the back. After you've built your organizers, remove the cabinet from the back, slide the organizers in place, and reattach the cabinet to the back.

Now, add the dovetail strips

Bevel-rip long lengths of dovetail-strip stock at 14°. See the Dovetail Strip detail accompanying the drawing at left for reference. Crosscut the dovetail strips to length. Drill and countersink mounting holes in the back edge of the strip. Glue and screw the dovetail strip to the back edge of the shelf, support, or holder.

Slide the dovetail strip of the holder between the mounting strips in the cabinet back. If the dovetail strip fits too tightly between the mounting strips, sand it slightly for a smooth sliding action. Remove and finish holders.

Once dry, slide your holders between the mounting strips in the cabinet back (attached to the wall at this point). Arrange the holders as needed, secure the cabinet back to the wall. You're ready to add your tools and accessories. 4*
