Workshop Tools

Well, I finally remembered to bring the camera up to the garage to take some pictures of the tools that have been made for the table saw and the router. The first tool that was made was a router table to support making the rails and stiles for the doors. This has also helped out the rest of the routing operations. The table that it stands on is made of sheet metal and originally came with the chop saw. The table is about 4 feet in length.

The second jig is used on the table saw for holding panels vertical. This is used to make the bevels on the door panels and will be handy if I have to cut tenons on parts. Not shown in this picture is the fence that the unit rides against.

The last two pictures are of the cross cut sled that was made to cut the sawtooth shelf supports.
In this picture you can see the guide that was used to cut all of the triangles for the sawtooth support. Basically you make one cut and then shift the board over and place the new cut on top of the peg to make the next cut. This is then repeated over and over. This was first done with all of the vertical cuts and then with all of the angle cuts.
