hundred years ago or more, it was pretty common for carpen-
ters and
ioiners
to store their tools in a wood tool
chest. Some
of these have swvived down through the yea$
-
a testament to
the skjll and craftsmanship that went into building them.
Of coluse,
finding one of theseold chestscan be a challenge.They have become
prized by collecforsand can be quite expensive.
But it's not the value that interests
me, it's the fact that each
chest is a refleclion of the craftsman who built it.
Some are plain
with very straightforward
ioinery
-
just
built to get the
job
done.
While others are surprisingly omate and carefully
corutructed
with intricate details and organized trays
and drawers.
It was with these thoughts in mind that we designed
the tool
chest featured in this issue. We wanted
to come up with a tool
chest design that was simple to build and practical, yet
still
showed off the abilities of a skilled woodworker
So we combined
honest, traditional
joinery
with
authentic-looking hardware for a
tool chest that is worthy of any woodworker's
shop.
NoW I realize not
everyone
needs
a chest to store their tools
these days and that's okay. This project
works equally well as a
blanket
chest or even a coffee table. We've even induded an artide
on how to distress the chest and turn it into
an
"instant"
antique.
So no matter how
you decide to build, use, or finish this project,
it's sure to become a treasured heirloom.

Setting the
tension on my band
saw bladewas time-consuming.
I
neededa wav
to
release
the ten-
sion and
then
quickly
return the
tension to the proper
setting the
nex time I used
the saw. One day,
it struckme
that lcould makea
simple lever to quickly
releasethe
tension
(see
photo
at right).
First, I
replaced the band saw's
original
"knuckle-busting"
tension
rodwith one long
enoughto clear
the saw's
housing.Thatwill make
fine-tuningthetension
easier.
Forthe
leverto clearthetension
gauge,
I
built a riser and slid it
down the rod. The
riser sits on the
gu;des
on eithersideofthe
gauge.
To
make the lever,lused a 2'
piece
of hardwood
and taDered it
to fit mv
hand better.I rounded the
front
and bottom corners to make
the lever
easierto raise and lower.
Next,
lattached a spacerblock
to the lever.This block will hold
the lever
in the
"up"
position
to
maintainthe
proper
bladetension
when l'm usingmy bandsaw. But
you'll
needto attachthe blockto
the leverat this ooint so the hole
for the rod isdrilled
s
@
at the correct
angle.
Then, I
took the levet
(with
spacer attached)
to
my drill pressand
drilled
the hole
to accommo-
date the rod. I counterbored
the
hole to hold
a
washer
and lock
nuts
atthe sameangleaswell.
Then I added
the leverand the
hardware
(see
detail
'a').
To ten-
sion the blade, I simply lift the
lever and pivot
it
witE knob
makesit
eaJrerto
adjust blade
Nutsand
washer
provide
positive
stop for
toward the saw until
the spacer
rests on the riser. To release
the
tension, all I have to do is
iust
lift
and
pivot
the lever
away from the
saw.Youcan still fine-tune
the ten-
sion if you need
to by adjusting
the longer
tensionrodand knob.

Locking casters
don't work
well for
me, becausetheY
were always
difficultto lock

a lot of
effortandtoe-stubbing.
WhatIdecided
on wassim-

fold-down

(see
drawing at

lift while
You
swingthe supports
down on
each end, and
you have a

Your

Sincethe hinges
open in
opposite directions,
theY
counteract each
other and
preventthe cabinet
from falling off
the
supports.When
I'm readyto
put
the cabi-
net away, another
slight lift. flip up the
supports, and it's ready
to move.
The supports are
sizedto lift the casters
just
off the floor.I
measuredthe distance
betweenthe bottom of
the cabinet and
the floor and made
the supports%"
wider- After cutting each
support, I creat-
ed
a cutoutdeepenough
to

Then I attached the
