Safety Project

[rte66]

Many years ago I lost a (small, thank goodness) part of my thumb to a (non SS) bandsaw and a moment of stupidity. I had once again lapsed into putting tools and incidentals on the SS aux tables. Fearing I would reach for a falling tool and once again hurt myself, I figured I needed a dedicated place to put the tri-square, pencil, push stick, etc. The problem is lack of space in the garage. Came up with the following solution made from odds and ends in the shop. Up close it's ugly, since it's mostly plywood left over from the temporary roofing after Katrina. But it works; on casters it moves around easily and keeps what I need nearby. At the end of the project, the surface folds down and two of the casters rotate under the other two and make for compact storage. Had fun and learned a few things along the way.

I have all too often put something down on an aux table or on the band saw table (when not in use), only to have the item vibrate off while performing some other task. Thanks for the idea, I may copy it.

Great idea and I love how it folds down for storage.
