ometimes, things work out better than you hope. Take the book-

casefeatr.ued in this issue for example. From the start, we were

looking for a simple design that would take a minimal amount of

materials to build. Built from less than two sheets of pl;'wood, this

project fits the bill. But we ended up with much more than that. Sure,

the bookcase looks great by itseJI and can hold a lot of stuff. One

other benefit of this design is you can tlaruforrn this classic book-

caseinto a whole wall full of storage by connecting several book-

casestogether, like you seeon the cover.

Projects like this are just one of the reasons why I really enjoy

being a woodworker and sharing the results with you.

In my smallbasementshop,there

just isn't enough room for a per-

manent outfeed table for my

cabinetsaw.lneeded a table

that I could set up and take

down quickly, but was still

strongandsturdy.

I found the solutionwhile

roaming around in my local

home rmprovement center -

the folding shelf brackets you

seein the photo at left.

As the drawings

below show,lattached

eitherthe up or down positions.I

did the same thing with the hori-

zontal arms to raisethe outfeed

neath the outfeed top and then

mountedthe table perfectly level

Bufillinge PilotHoleGuide

When installinga butt hingein a mortise,

I find it difficultto drill pilot holesfor the

mounting screwsaccurately.

I eitherdrill

the holesa little off center,or they'renot

squareto the workpiece,Icameup with a

way thatallowsmeto drillthe holes accu-

ratelyand quickly as well.

First, I make a 1/2'Lthick harowooo

guide blockthe exactwidth of the hinge.

Then I drill holes in the blockthat arethe

same diameteras the pilot holesfor the

hinge screws,and I make sure they line

up with the hingeholes.

Now, all I have to do is put the blockin

the hinge mortiseand drill pilot holes

with the block guiding the bit.
