I don't believe the client there was planning to go with authentic shoji or other detailing in any case and I certainly wasn't likely to be fabricating anything for him.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-12781961392798092772013-04-21T17:56:47.760-04:002013-04-21T17:56:47.760-04:00Hi Chris,

I'm just used to keeping as much floor space open as possible, so i was thinking of getting it on a wall. if you're worried of a stack collapsing, don't let the stack get that huge. How about 9" or so? But you're well don't have that problem, lol. <br /><br />So I'd say if you want the scraps off the floor, do several deep shelves. If you want to keep them on the floor, do the wells. At least you'll have better control of them either way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165303148974131900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-6703769847782464682013-04-19T08:57:29.270-04:002013-04-19T08:57:29.270-04:00Harlan,

The only issue I see with storing short pieces like that in a horizontal manner is that you tend to end up with a bit of a stack, and when you slide out a piece here and there it doesn't take long for the stack to partially collapse, and become a bit unmanageable. I was thinking, like you, that being able to see the end grain of the sticks would be helpful, but that a vertical stacking might work better. if I had a series of 15"~18" 'wells' I could stack the pieces and be easily able to see what was what and fish out what I needed. Thoughts?<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-11983979740476334592013-04-18T20:45:53.583-04:002013-04-18T20:45:53.583-04:00Hi Chris,

It also had the best adjustable fence fence I have ever seen. It cut flawless miters. The fence sat behind the stock rather than leading as in most sliders. I wish I could recall the brand but all I can recall is that it was green, cast iron, made in Germany and wasn't a Martin. The owner said he bought it from a chair maker. <br />Peace,<br />Harlan BarnhartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-39135832075357537172013-04-18T15:12:34.027-04:002013-04-18T15:12:34.027-04:00Life sure seems to be keeping you busy. Good luck ...Life sure seems to be keeping you busy. Good luck at keeping many the juggling at going, I don't think i could do it. <br /><br />Here's a though about the 2' scrap storage. How about storing them on a 2' deep shelf (well multiple for you maybe) so that you can see their end-grain. That way you can see species, size and overall grain pattern. Maybe going so far as to have zones of non figured/ little figure/ heavily figured. As long as you don't allow the stacks to get too tall, it won't be too hard to pull a single piece out from the middle or bottom. Maybe 12"-16" tall, 18" feels like that could be too much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165303148974131900noreply@blogger.com
