Wall-Mounted Tool Storage Panel for Squares, Levels, and Saws
Wall-Mounted Tool Storage Panel for Squares, Levels, and Saws Squares, levels, and hand saws are some of the most awkward tools in a shop to store. They’re flat, they’re oddly shaped, and they don’t hang well on a standard pegboard hook. This panel solves that with a simple idea: a row of horizontal wood cleats,…

A DIY Plywood Charging Station for Cordless Tools
Cordless tool batteries and chargers have a way of taking over a workbench: cords tangled together, chargers stacked on top of each other, batteries scattered wherever there’s an open outlet. This build is a shop-made answer to that: a single wall-mounted plywood station that gives every charger a shelf and every drill or driver its…

Mobile Miter Saw Station: A Rolling Cart with Built-In Storage
Not every shop has room for a miter saw station that lives permanently in one spot. This cart was built for exactly that problem: a mobile miter saw station on locking casters, with a saw bay and tool storage built right into it, that can be rolled into place when it’s needed and pushed out…

DIY Miter Saw Station with Built-In Dust Collection
A miter saw earns a permanent spot in almost every shop, but it rarely gets a permanent home. More often it’s clamped to a folding table or set on a couple of sawhorses, dust going everywhere, with nowhere to put the cut-offs. This station was built to fix all three problems at once: a dedicated…

DIY Plywood Clamp Storage Rack for Pipe and Bar Clamps
Clamps multiply. A few pipe clamps and a handful of bar clamps turn into a leaning pile in a corner faster than almost anything else in a shop, and that pile is exactly what this rack was built to fix. The corner in question already had a simple two-tier utility shelf mounted on a vertical…

Building a Small Birch Plywood Shop Cabinet: Carcase and Drawer Assembly
Not every shop project gets photographed at the finish line. This one is a small birch plywood cabinet, built for shop storage, caught at the carcase-and-drawer stage, before any doors, finish, or trim went on. The photos that exist show real, useful information: how the case went together, how the drawer was dry-fit before its…

DIY Vinyl Record Storage Crate With Reinforced Mitered Corners
This is the smaller, standalone companion to the record-player media console built earlier this year: a mitered plywood crate sized to hold a stack of vinyl records upright, with the corners cut at 45 degrees and reinforced with glued-in wood splines rather than just butt-joined and screwed together. It’s built to be sold on its…

Mid-Century Record Player Stand With Sound Bar & Vinyl Storage
U.S. vinyl revenue passed $1 billion in 2025 for the first time, according to the RIAA’s year-end report: nearly 47 million records sold. A record collection that size needs somewhere to actually live, and a turntable needs somewhere steady to sit, and increasingly people want that “somewhere” to look like it was designed on purpose.…

Vertical Kerf-Cut Knife Block: A Hollow, Open-Front DIY Build
Most DIY knife block plans start with a solid block of hardwood and a drill press: bore a series of angled holes, and you’re done. This one took a different path: a tall, narrow, fully hollow plywood carcase with the knife slots cut as straight saw kerfs across the top edge, plus one larger open…

Building a Birch Plywood Cabinet Box: Glue-Up and Assembly
A birch plywood cabinet carcass caught mid-build — panels labeled and marked, corners notched and clamped square, an interior shelf glued in place. No finished photos exist yet for this one; this post documents the assembly stage honestly, as it was shot.
