Talk About the Simplest of Designs!
Fair warning! This is not an exciting post. It's not an elaborate, intricate, complicated or grand project - not at all. As a matter-of-fact, this is one of the simplest "projects" heretofore posted at 173!
Come to think of it, this little ditty utilized a couple other scrap wood projects, and this one is made from the little length of 2x4 below:
The story is - last year my dad gave me his AMT Model 4601 scroll saw...
And with it came a whole bunch of saw blades! The problem was, I could never remember where I put them. So, today being so incredibly hot and humid outside (and I don't like either), I thought I would take a few minutes to make some kind of storage for them. After cutting a small piece to 2x4 to length, I bored a few holes to about 3/8 of an inch from the bottom. Oh, and in this picture you can see a couple of those scrap wood gadgets I made before...
From there, I just stained it with Minwax Gunstock stain...
Applied a few coats of amber shellac...
And voila! Storage for the blades!
Simple, yet effective! Like I said - not exciting, not at all! But it's fun finding little things to do with scrap wood!
