Bin Label Holders

Storage bins are a great way to organize small parts around the shop. To identify the contents of each bin, I built the label holders you see in the photo below.

They're easy to build. Start with a strip of hardwood planed down to fye" thick. Next, cut a groove in the strip using your router and a V>" dovetail bit. Just set your fence and make a pass (drawing at right). Then flip the piece around and make a second pass. Finally, glue the holder to the bin and insert the label.

Congratulations to Tom Slatky of Lena, Wisconsin. His tip on building a sandpaper organizer was selected as winner of the Porter-Cable router just like the one shown at the right. The organizer stores different grits of orbital sandpaper in a way that keeps them flat and ready for use.
