68479 "Jim O'Brien" <jobrien@c...> Sep-24-1999 Re: Sawtill plans: Who is going to build one?

Greetings from due north.

MEE TOO!  Thanks to the galoots for time & energy spent on the sawtill
design.  I've just added it to the project cue  - mine, not hers.
Actually it has resolved some design issues for me on an existing project
(also in the cue ).

I've been mulling over a wall-hanging tool box design (ala Bob Key and Jim
Tolpin) made with four roughly 2' x 3' x 6" sections :  (1) Planes,  (2)
drills, chisels, gouges, (3) saws, and (4) marking, measuring  & miscellany.
The sectins would fold/hinge together in pairs and then stack to the size
of a traditional carpenter's/cabinetmaker's  chest.  One section might have
the wheels on the bottom and handles on the top, or I might slack off and
just get a two wheel hand cart.

Even with 24 sq ft of hanging space the sections are starting to fill up
(in my mind's eye).  I'm no cabinet maker or piano maker like Studley, so
I'm sure the efficiency of my space allocation could stand improvement.  At
least I have enough rough 4/4 cherry for the project.  I'm thinking a
scaled-down version of the saw till (~2/3 size) would fit most of my saws
except for bow saw and coping saw (that's what misc. is for).

I have an idea for a saw keeper so they don't all spill out.   It's easier
to draw than explain, so I'll try to put something together for the group
but I don't have a web page to post it to.  I'll let you know  if I can
come up with something.  Also, if the sawtill is hung on the wall tilted
back slightly, It would allow saws to be placed in alternating directions,
allowing for closer spacing.  Careful you don't scratch the handles.

While I'm thinking of it, thanks to everyone who contributes ideas to these
discussions.  I've learned lots from everyone.

Jim O'Brien
