Circular Saw Storage Caddy Storing a circular saw is a hassle in my shop. I want it to be easily accessible, but it doesn't fit neatly on a shelf or in a cabinet. To get around this problem, I built the storage caddy shown in the drawing below. The caddy is designed to sit on a shelf, as you can see in the photo at right. The face has a notch cut from the top for the blade guard of the saw. A cleat near the bottom of the face supports the saw in position. The face is screwed to two triangular-shaped end pieces. This way, the saw can be easily stored on a narrow shelf with the cord tucked neatly beside it. Now storing my circular saw is no problem. And whenever I need to use it, it's always within reach. All I need to do is grab it by the handle, slip it out of the slot, and it's ready for use. fared D.
