UPPER DOOR SUPPORT K NOTE: CASE AND DOOR IS 3/4" PLYWOOD, ACCESSORY CORE AND FACE PIECES ARE 14’ HARDBOARD The Door. The door is simply a piece of W plywood cut to fit between the two supports, with room for some washers. It has storage pockets on the front to hold your blades and another set on the back for table saw inserts (see Then using my inserts as a pattern, I made two cutouts in the core piece of hardboard Vi" larger than the inserts. A hardboard face CDaccessory PEG 04 x 24) Blade Pockets. You'll want to add photo on opposite page). Insert Pockets. Hie pockets are created by layering pieces of hardboard together. So to make the pockets on the inside of the door, I first made a core by laminating three hardboard pieces together. screwed to the front holds the inserts securely in place. I used the angled drilling guide I made earlier to add a single peg beneath the insert pocket for storing my blade stiffener. But you can add as many pegs as you like. two more pockets to the front of the door to hold saw blades (see lower photo opposite page). Since the saw blades are thinner, you'll only need to glue two pieces of hardboard together for the core. Again, use a saw blade as a pattern and allow Vi" extra around the blade. Hang the Door. At this point, you're ready to mount the door. To do this, you'll need to drill two holes in the door to hold a pair of steel pivot pins. A simple drilling guide will help you locate and align the holes (see box at left). Then it's a matter of mounting the door using the pins and a couple of washers so it can swing freely (see photo at right). An easy way to do this is to insert the bottom pin first, position the door, and then slip the top pin in place. Now all that's left is to add a door catch to hold the door closed. After mounting the rack to the wall, you're ready to fill it with your blades and accessories. Drilling Guides with a hole drilled through it at 10° makes it easy to drill the holes needed for the pegs. A Straight Holes. This block quickly locates the hole and guides the drill bit at 90° for drilling the holes to hold the steel door pins. A Pivot Pins. A steel pin is used to mount the door. Two washers spaced between the door and the support allow the door to swing freely www.ShopNotes.com 29
