hey everybody uh we're in my shop and I am just about to get started on a one
day build but before I do I have to clean up some work that I started
yesterday I have talked in the past how much I hate drawers the drawers are
where things go to die I've also talked about my shop philosophy which I have
called first order retrieve ability which means I don't like moving things
out of the way to get to tools that I need and because I'm doing a lot more
machining in the shop because of my nice big Bridgeport over there I am using my
files more so it's time to pull out my files out of all the drawers they were
in and to put them into a reasonable filing system so I'm going to knock out
a plywood box that holds these all upright so they are easily accessible
for me and it's only going to take a few minutes and then I'll get started on my
one-day build here we go alright so you know I've separated my files in two
broad categories the square files the curved files the rat tails the small
handhelds the triangular Dimond by thread restoring files the first trick
is to figure out how big this box needs to be and like everything it needs to
accommodate what I've got but also what I might get so I need to give it a
little extra room so I'm going to kind of make it this width I figure for these
these this these let's see what I've got here
now I need the separators that go in and I'm going to do it in a tab and slot
design it's going to be really cool
cool
right all right these are the last cuts I make on the bandsaw and then we
assemble
this is the part where any mistakes that I've made in my estimations will show up
see that like that there you go that is the main body I'm going to clean it up
with my favorite tool my badass sander
alright this is the moment of truth here's how this all goes this goes in
here like this oh now you see how it's all working right this is my favorite
kind of construction there we go
ah I know it's not pretty but it will do the job let's file the files shall we
there we go my files are file that's too dramatic anyway the files are filed
