I grabbed a board and drew out my row spacing with a combination square. I drew a perpendicular line every half inch, making a grid. I used this grid to layout the hole placement. I was going to made the structure out of three layers: the top two would have identical holes drilled in them and the bottom would act as the floor.

I cut two pieces of plywood to the same dimensions as my top board. I used some double-sided tape to hold the top board to one of the pieces of plywood, which would act as the middle layer. First I set my drill press to only drill halfway through the second board, and drilled the small holes for the short needle files. For the slots meant to hold the larger flat files, I started with a series of holes and then connected and flattened them with some chisels, rasps, and files. I cut the sides to the same width as the horizontal layers, then cut a taper on the bandsaw, and drilled a hole for the eventual handle.

I didn't go overboard with the sanding, since this was a piece of shop equipment made from rough construction plywood. I sanded the faces with 80 grit on my random orbit sander, and softened the edges and corners with a piece of grit sandpaper.

I cut one more piece, a 4" strip to give some lateral support and act as a spacer between the bottom two layers. I attached them to one of the sides with wood glue and screws. For the handle I used this one inch dowel. Close Privacy Overview This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website.
