Shop projects.

This is a tool cart made from more of the salvaged birch/maple plywood. Gives me a way to put 2 tools in one space.

Drill press on top and spindle sander on the bottom. On wheels if I need to move it.

Then I had an idea for a slide out tray for the spindle sander, makes it much easier to get out. I started with a badly cupped walnut slab. 2nd cut off the log.

If I would have planned it the way it was I would have ended up with a 1/4" board. Cutting it into strips before surfacing saved the thickness.

The boards finished out about 13/16"
Glued them back together.



Much easier to lift now, keeps you from bending over and reaching out with something heavy. That's a recipe for disaster!

I had a problem with an unruly air hose, lol

I salvaged some empty mig wire reels.

Attached them to a soft maple live edge board.

Hung it on the wall.

Air hose tamed.

Added a little scrap wood tray for accessories.

Much needed and very useful.

I scored some more of the empty mig wire reels so I added one for an extension cord I use often in the shop. I can see myself adding a couple more of these.
