Cutoffs
ow! That was the first word out
of my mouth when I saw one of
the shop-made awls we're featuring in this
issue (photo at left). Now, you're probably
wondering what could be so exciting about
an awl. It's really one of the most basic layout
tools in woodworking. And ifs nothing more
than a pointed piece of steel with a handle.
Well, the awl looked like nothing I had
seenbefore - two sections of the steel shaft
were twisted like an old-fashioned barber
pole. This turned a plain piece of steel into a
one-of-a-kind design. Add in a comfortable
handle and you can seehow easy it is to cre-
ate a handy layout tool you'll find yourself
reaching for every time you're in the shop.
Creating the projects and articles you
find in ShopNotes takes a group of skilled
and hardworking individuals. And to help
us out, we're looking for a talented person
to join our editorial team. This is a full-time
position here in Des Moines, Iowa. If you,re
an experienced writer, have a strong interest
in woodworking, and a desire to share your
skills and knowledge with other woodwork-
ers, I'd like to hear from you.

AngledRouter SIed
It's always a hick to cut dadoes
and rabbets at an angle. The sled
shown here fits on my router table
and allows me to make these cuts
easily and accurately.
The jig consists of a pl1'wood
base that fits over a router table
top. My sled has a runner on the
provides clearance for bits up to
7+" diameter. I cut slots on each
side for adjusting the fence.
The adjustable fenceallows you
to hold a workpiece at an angle
while sliding it across the router
bit. I attacheda replaceable,sacrifi-
cial facewith double-sided tape to
prevent chipout on the workpiece.
Self-adhesive sandpaper stuck
to the leading face helps keep the
workpiece from shifting during
the cut. Finally,I used bolts, wash-
ers, and knobs to lock the fence in
position while routing.
To use the jig, I first make a
reference notch in the fence. This
makes it easier to locatethe cut on
the workpiece. To do this, raisethe
bit and move the sled partially into
the bit (without the workpiece) to
createa notch in the sacrificial face.
Then you can use the edges of the
notch to help position the work-
piece for each cut, like you see in
the main photo above.

Machinist's Vise Storage Rack
A machinist's vise is handy to have in
any shop, but in my small shop, bench
spaceis at a premium. So,instead of per-
manently mounting the vise, I fastened
it to a plywood base that allows me to
hang it on the wall when it's not being
used. The photos below show how two
wall cleats are used to do this.
Both the top and bottom cleat have
a rabbet on the back edge. This rabbet
creates a lip for holding the plywood
panel. The upper cleat has a wider rab-
bet to allow the plywood base to slide
up and out of the lower cleat whenever
you need to use the vise. Just make sure
the cleats are fastened securely to the
wall to support the weight of the vise.
