View Full Version : Square Rack

In the slow process of organizing my shop, it became apparent a till was needed for my squares.
This is made of scrap and is mounted with cleats so it can be taken down easily and placed on a bench. One other consideration was that it may someday be stowed like a drawer.
The layout changed as the project moved along, but they all still fit.

or you'll find another square you just must have, and then where'll you be?
Nice storage.

I need to organize...I need to organize...
I like the looks, a bit rustic! Nice job! :)

Actually, I have a few more, mostly the combination, carpenter or draughtsman variety. But some others of similar size or newer style than these. These are the ones I use the most.

Thanks. When I first saw this, I thought it said, "I like the hooks."
They were made from a piece of scrap poplar (I think) that was given a rabbet with a Stanley 45 and then the cutouts were done with a forstner bit. The rest of the shaping was done with gouges and chisels and saws, Oh My!
The acorn is just held on with tape. I didn't like the hole there. Trying to figure what kind of piece should go there.

I hate to break it to ya but a couple of those don't look very "square".
:D
I keep thinking I should make a little rack behind every machine. Do you know a secret to not needing a square when they are on the other
side of the shop?
It looks good.

Good eye Joe,
Those are a 1:8 and a 1:6 dovetail markers by Joseph Marples.
That is if you mean the ones in the lower right hand corner.
Otherwise it is likely caused by the angle and the camera.
