Introductory Statement

In the shop, barn, garage or tool shed it is very convenient to have some sort of tool case on the wall. This plan of caring for tools not only keeps them in good condition, but also saves room.

This shop tool case is very simple in construction; it may be built of almost any dimensions you may desire. It would be well for you to measure the space which you have for a tool case and then build your case the proper size to fit the space.

This case illustrates the principle of making a simple batten door; you will also notice a brace extending from one batten to the other; this is to prevent sagging. If you have any sagging doors about your home buildings you should straighten them and put in braces as illustrated in this lesson.

Shop Tool Case Specifications

The Sides

A study of the drawing will show you that the shop tool case is made very much like a box; it is then cased in front and doors are hung to the casing.

Square the stock (Chapter II., Paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5) and prepare the side pieces the dimensions shown in the drawing. If you are making this case to fit some particular place, you should follow the sizes of your own drawing. Be sure that the two sides are exactly the same size in every way. Square the stock (Chapter II., Paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5).
