^^ ShopNotes Project Supplies 'is offering some of the hardware and supplies needed to build the projects in this issue. We've also put together a list of other mail-order sources that have similar hardware and, supplies. Rare-Earth \ Magnet ► — We used a small, ^—r but very strong magnet in the Marking Knife (page 14) called a "rare-earth" magnet. To really appreciate the strength of this magnet, you almost need to see (and feel) it tug the cap out of your hand and over the blade. These magnets are nickel-plated, and the edges are rounded slightly to prevent chipping. We used W'-dia. magnets, but they're also available in V4" and %"-dia. sizes, see margin. Selected Guide to Our Best Shop-Made Storage Projects These handy, shop-built storage projects will help you get the most efficient use from the space that's available in your workshop or garage. A Fold-Down Work Center To take up a minimal amount of space, this Fold-Down Work Center mounts to a wall. Tool boards, drawers, and shelves provide built-in storage. And the front of the case folds down to create a stable work surface. We're offering a complete hard-^fcvare kit to build the Work Center. '^ShopNotes No. 14 is also included.

LUMBER STORAGE MACK KIT 6817-225...................$17.95 OOUCT INFORMATION Sources MAIL ORDER SOURCES Japan Woodworker 800-537-7820 Kebiki Blades Lee Valley & Veritas 800-871-8158 Rare-Earth Magnets Woodcraft 800-225-1153 Rare-Earth Magnets Laminated Keblkl Blades The Marking Knife shown on page 14 uses a high quality blade that's typically used in a Japanese marking gauge called a kebiki. Made of laminated white steel, these blades are hand forged and carefully tempered to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 64, so they hold a fine, sharp edge. The blade we used has a single, pre-sharpened bevel. It's wide and 2V2" long, but the blades are also available in V4", %", and V2'1 widths. For a mailorder source of kebiki blades, refer to the margin at right. Modular Wall Storages The Modular Wall Storage System featured on page 16 has a number of individual storage units to help organize your tools and supplies. Each storage unit hangs from a grid that's attached securely to the wall. The grid and storage units are made from materials found easily at most home centers. We used "two-by" material (Douglas fir) and V2" electrical conduit for the grid. And 3/4m plywood (birch), W hardboard, and thin strips of hardwood are all you need to build the storage units. Roll-Around A Shop Cart With its pull-out trays and pegboard panels, there's plenty of storage inside and out in this Roll-Around Shop Cart. ShopNotes Project Supplies is offering a kit that has all the hardware needed to build the Shop Cart. ShopNotes No, 5 is also included to provide step-by-step plans. No. 39 ShopNotes 31 |
