Build A Power Tool Rack

Sometimes the simplest builds are the most functional.

Build a power tool rack.

They are worth the investment because they can last you a very long time. Again it is essential to have it in your arsenal of training equipment but take into consideration of building one of your own. Attach the power strip. Set other banding on top of some 4 x 4 s to set the same height off the floor as for the bench.

You ll make three separate rectangular frames that will be fitted together after completion. Cut 2 x 4 s for posts. These can all be found at home centers and lumber yards if you don t have enough material in your scrap pile. Don t just store your power tools with this great option charge them all at the same time.

We ve shared a great drill holster made with pvc but this cordless tool station designed by amy hintze baesler from her tool belt is built from plywood and has a handy shelf to hold a power strip. Set 2 x 4 posts in corners and nail in place to create top banding. 1 x 4 s for banding. And 1 x 2 s for dividers.

Tom built the tool storage cabinet out of leftover materials from previous build it projects including inch oak plywood 1x12 inch select pine and inch birch plywood. Take your tools wherever. To provide the juice for your charging station these types of power strips will do the trick. Lay pieces on floor and build a couple of 2 square boxes from the 1 x 4 s.

The drawer is a great bonus for storing drill bits screws and other accessories. To build it find your largest power tools and design their cubbies first. Mount power strip screw into the outside of each board using the mounting holes on the back of the power strip as a guide. Once you ve got the largest dimensions figured out continue filling in space with dividers nailing or screwing through the top bottom and middle boards.

Power racks are expensive but i am not saying that they are not worth it. Screw the inch wood screws into holes.
