SHOP PROJECT Drill Bit Cabinet Tilt-out trays, shelves, and an optional drawer help store and organize your drill bits and accesssories in one convenient place. Sometimes it seems like there's a black hole in my shop where the one drill bit I need disappears. Although it eventually turns up, it's usually only after a frustrating search of all the different places I use to store drill bits. To organize all of my drill bits exploded view t-^^top and accessories in one convenient place (and keep them from getting nicked or damaged), I built this simple cabinet, see the photo above. It's designed with one thing in mind — lots of storage in a compact space. storage. In spite of its small size, this cabinet provides all the storage I need. The back part of the cabinet houses two tilt-out trays that provide easy access RABBET DETAIL V 1/2" SIDE TOP 191/2" GROOVE DETAIL —V iTI 1/4" 3/4" 1/2" TT 131 / TOp / x • / / as 1 -1/2"-THICK PLYWOOD PANEL . bottom / NOTE: TOP, BOTTOM, AND SIDES ARE CUT FROM 3/4"-THICK STOCK TONGUE DETAIL CUTTONGUE _TO FIT GROOVE 7—'-7—n to my bits. And to store small accessories, there are two shelves inside the door. There's even an optional drawer that can be added if you need additional storage. (For more on this, refer to page 15.) THE C1SE There's nothing complicated about building the case. It starts off as a simple wood box. Then it's cut apart to form two identical halves. This provides storage inside the door as well as the cabinet itself. Basically, the case consists of a top and bottom (A) that are held together by two side pieces (B), see Exploded View. (I used thick maple.) To accept the top and bottom, rabbets are cut on each end of the side pieces, see Rabbet Detail in Exploded View. Then two grooves are cut in each of the case pieces for a pair of plywood panels that are added next, see Groove Detail. panels. The front and back panels (C) are made from V2"-thick plywood. This provides enough "thickness" to screw into when attaching the storage shelves and mounting the cabinet to the wall. Shop Note: If you can't find V2"-thick maple plywood locally, you can glue up two pieces of ^"-thick birch plywood to make each panel. 12 ShopNotes No. 16 |
