The Door. The door is simply a piece of 3/t" 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 photo on opposite page).

Insert Pockets. The pockets are created by layering pieces of hard-board together. So to make the pockets on the inside of the door, I first made a core by laminating three hardboard pieces together.

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

Drilling Guides

A Angled Holes. A simple block 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.
