FEATURE PROJECT Storage Unite With the base complete, you can turn your attention to the storage units. They both start as identical plywood boxes that are open in the front and back. The only difference between them is one has adjustable shelves for lumber, and the other is open to hold sheet stock. sides. In addition to holding lumber, both units support the ends of the table top. So when cutting the sides (P) of the storage units to length, cut them so their length equals the height of the saw frame plus the height of the base of your stand, see Figs. 8 and 9. Next, rabbets are cut to accept a plywood top. And dadoes are cut to fit a bottom , see Fig. 9. After the tops and bottoms (Q) are cut to size, a V^'-deep dado is cut for a divider that's added later, refer to Figs. 9 and 11. Now each unit can be glued and screwed together. support. To extend longer pieces of lumber out the back, I left both units open in the back. But without a back, each unit could rack. To prevent this from happening, I screwed a top rail (R) and two bottom, rails (R) to between the sides, see Fig. 10. dividers. Next, a divider (S) can be cut to fit each unit, see Fig. 11. But in order for it to fit flush with the front of each case, you'll need to cut a notch in the back of each divider, see Fig. 11. Before screwing the dividers in place, I found it easiest to drill holes in the sides and divider for the shelf supports that hold the shelves added next. shelves. After chamfering the exposed edges on both units, install the levelers. Finally, I added a set of six shelves to one of the storage units, see Fig. 8.
