Rust Hunting in Georgia January Estate Sale

I managed to hit an estate sale last Friday and picked up a handful of tools. Someone in the family was a hobbyist woodworker - the largest piece of equipment was an older Shopsmith with a full compliment of accessories (bandsaw, etc) - there was also a European bench that was already long gone when I hit the sale (probably a good thing as I wouldnt have room for it anyway and they tend to be very pricey).


Most of the prices were reasonable to high (as usual) - I passed on a later model Disston handsaw at $10 and a few other tools, but did manage to pick up a set of Footprint cabinet maker screwdrivers - these are the flat haft type with oblate handles in beech. I also found a #15 SnapOn Phillips driver, a "Sears" marked grinding wheel dresser (appears unused), a rosewood handled putty knife (partial to those) and a Sargent hole punch (second of this type Ive found). Most items were in the $1-2 range with $25 on the screwdriver set. Nothing real special here but all good user tools.

Not too bad for a brief stop. In particular Ive been thinking about a set of cabinet drivers so those are very welcome.

Using Evapo Rust for Tool Restoration

Ive been using Evapo-Rust for about a year to clean up rusty tool parts. Ive had a gallon that I would re-use and its finally died on me - what happens is that it gets to the point where its not getting into the pits (if the metal is pitted) and after wiping the part flash rusts pretty quickly. Looking back over the documentation it states that a gallon will treat 300 pounds of metal. I can attest that Ive put way over that amount in the gallon Ive been using (I filtered the liquid when there was too much sediment). When it starts to fail it creates a yellowish/greenish slimy sludge that sits on top of the part in the bath - this stuff wipes off and Im assuming that its a mildly sulfurous compound (no eggy smell though).

Some tips:

1. Make sure you have enough to submerge the part completely or you get a watermark from the dip - this is almost impossible to remove.

2. When not using, reseal in the container as I believer there is some dilution with exposure to air.

3. My process is to dip, usually overnight as most of the parts are heavily rusted, remove next day and wipe down - if theres a lot of rust Ill hold it next over a garbage can and scrape a bit, which removes the heavy stuff - use a wire brush, sandpaper or razor blade. If its still rusted put it back in the wet. When youre satisfied that the rust is off, re-dip and let air dry - it keeps it from flash rusting (says 2 weeks but it actually lasts longer).

4. For irregular shaped objects I place 4 mil plastic in a plastic over-sized tub, then shape the plastic to conform closely to the part - put a couple of blocks of wood underneath so the plastic isnt sticking to the part or youll end up with water marks areas not derusted.

5. Best price Ive found is at Harbor Freight - they have gallons for $20 and you can use a coupon (I get 20% off coupons in the mail or via email).

DVD Video Storage Cabinet

The plans for this DVD video storage cabinet actually started out a little more interesting than the result you see here. My mother-in-law had asked me to design a shelf to store DVD?s, CD?s, and VHS tapes.


I came up with a clever shelf that was adjustable to fit various combinations of CDs and DVDs perfectly. It turns out all she really wanted was a set of simple DVD storage shelves. So I headed back to the drawing board and turned out these plans for a pretty basic DVD storage cabinet.

At first, I considered making the shelves fixed rather than adjustable. A DVD case is about 7-1/2? tall by 5-3/8? deep so the 8-1/2? tall clearance would have been fine. However, by making the shelves adjustable it will be useful for storing other things as future needs change.

Material I?m quite sure that you?re all getting pretty sick and tired of me building things out of 3/4? white melamine. But this time in particular, that?s what she asked for! My in-laws just had some new cabinets installed as part of a dining room addition and everything is white. So in this case, white melamine really did fit in okay.


I should take a moment to mention that there are significant differences in the quality of various brands and grades of melamine panels. This is probably why it often gets such a bad rap. I picked up some melamine at the local ?home improvement warehouse? and it turned out to be complete garbage. The core was a very poor grade of particle board, making it completely unsuitable for building cabinets.


For the DVD video storage cabinet I bought a reputable brand of melamine from a lumber yard that often deals in factory seconds. The core was a dense, good quality particle board, but the face had several blemishes in it that really caused problems when I laid out the sheet for cutting. Also, the price was very little different than what I would have paid for a high quality panel at a commercial lumber supplier. The bottom line is that it pays to shop carefully when choosing your materials.

Construction The DVD storage cabinet is really just an open wall cabinet with a couple of minor adjustments. First, since I wanted a specific clear distance between the shelves, I placed the shelf support holes at intervals other than the standard 32mm. Keeping 8-1/2? between shelves allows enough room for a DVD (or VHS tape?they?re the same height) plus a bit of room to reach in and pull the disc or tape off the shelf.


As I was designing the original DVD video storage plans, I needed to center the adjustable shelves on the support holes. Normally the shelf sits slightly above the hole, depending on the shelf pin or support used. To achieve the look and spacing I wanted, I opted for an angled steel shelf support. They?re available for use in both 5mm and 1/4" holes and they allow the shelf to sit approximately centered on the hole.
Wall Mounting One of the things that makes this DVD video storage cabinet unique is the method used for mounting it to the wall. Rather than screw the cabinet directly to the wall, it is hung on a pair of beveled rails called a French cleat. One cleat is attached to the cabinet and the other is attached to the wall. The cabinet is then hooked onto the wall cleat. A screw can then be used through the bottom nailer to prevent the cabinet from being lifted up off the cleat.


Hanging wall cabinets using a French cleat is actually pretty common. In fact, there are several commercially produced metal variations on the wooden French cleat that I?ve employed here. A couple significant advantages of using a French cleat are increased strength and a better ability to hang your cabinets level and plumb.


Strength is improved, especially in a long run of cabinets, because the wall cleat runs the full length of all the cabinets and is screwed to every stud. Sometimes with long runs of narrow cabinets you?re only able to fasten a cabinet to one stud. By using a French cleat, the weight of the cabinets is evenly distributed between all the studs.


Leveling your cabinets is also easier with a French cleat. You only need to level and plumb a 4? wide board. This is so much easier to handle than four or five cabinets ganged together. It?s also possible to shim the wall cleat away from the wall if the wall isn?t perfectly straight.


In my particular case I was most interested in the French cleat because it allowed me a very simple, concealed method of fastening the DVD video storage cabinet to the wall. Since both cleats are completely enclosed between the cabinet back and the wall, you can hang it without any exposed fasteners. This cabinet is so small that I wouldn?t even add the screw through the bottom nailer.

Drawing File I suppose this has digressed from how to build a DVD storage shelf into a discussion on avoiding poor quality sheet goods and a mini primer on the use of French cleats for hanging cabinets.

New Hot Rod Powered Drivers from DeWalt

June 24th, 2011 in blogs         7 users recommend $(document).ready(function() {$("a.popit").fancybox();}); Photo: courtesy of DeWalt

The cordless-tool power race has a bunch of new hot rods competing for pole position.  DeWalt just released news about a series of compact 20-volt lithium ion powered drills and drivers.  The 20-volt MAX Lithium Ion mighty-midget drill and drill-drivers combine big power in a manageable size.

First off, the line is a DCD780C2 Li-Ion Drill/ Driver that delivers power from a 1.5 Ah battery through a two-speed transmission offering 0-600 rpm for heavy driving and 0-2,000 rpm for efficient drilling. A 1/2in. keyless chuck keeps small bits centered without the inherent run-out of hex-collet bits. Combine this accuracy with a 15 position clutch and this little brute becomes adept at installing hinges and hardware that require high accuracy and a delicate touch.  

DeWalt paid careful attention to the weight balance of the motor and battery for a more comfortable, lighter feel. Combined with a well-shaped grip this drill should be very pleasant to use and the built-in LED light will bring accuracy to dark corners. The light has a 20-second delay after trigger release.

An included belt hook and bit holder can be mounted on either side of the drill for those who like to drive on the left side.

The drill will run about 220 bucks with two batteries, a fast charger, and a case.

Next up are the DCD780C2 and DCF885L2 1/4in. impact drivers.  These two are identical except for the battery ratings with the C2 running on 1.5 Ah and the L2 using a 3.0 Ah battery. 

A short  5.5 inch overall length, excluding the driver bit, and a svelte 2.8 pounds of weight make this little driver king of the long reach.  The drivers have a one-handed loading, 1/4-inch hex chuck that will accept 1-inch bit tips keeping that short overall length useful. These powerful little drivers produce 117 foot/pounds maximum torque and up to 3200 impacts per minute for serious driving power in a small compact frame.

An LED light, belt hook and bit holder add convenience.

The 1.5 Ah driver sells for around 220 bucks while the 3.0 Ah will run about 270 bucks. Both come with an extra battery, fast charger and a storage case.

A full size drill, rotary hammer, circle saw and reciprocating saw round out the 20-volt MAX Lithium Ion line-up.

Eight different kits ranging from a compact drill - driver combo to a complete assortment of the 20-volt MAX tools are available so you can pretty well custom tailor your setup to your needs without buying tools you wont often use.

Expect the DeWalt 20-volt MAX Lithium Ion tools to be available in September.

Unisaw More Work on the Case

Yesterday I completed the rust and paint removal by breaking out my Compact Air Needle Scaler - picked this up a few months ago when it was on sale for about $20 at Harbor Freight (http://www.harborfreight.com/compact-air-needle-scaler-96997.html). I also have a full-sized unit but it wouldnt fit inside the cabinet sideways, so I was lucky to have the "mini-me" sized version.

Ive never tried using one before - had only heard about people having success when them in rust and paint removal. This pneumatic tool vibrates a series of fat, wire-like nails that force paint and rust off metal. It worked extremely well, especially for the corners and inside edges that I couldnt get to with the wire cup brush. I followed up with a tiny bit of media blasting then worked everything over with a dual-action sander. Finally I shot the whole thing with some primer.

Initial layer of Primer

Finished the primer around 3:00 PM
Today I took out the case and took a more critical look at any bad dents and scratches, which lead me to a some light bondo work. I hit the low spots, waited for it to dry then worked them out. Im not looking for perfection so there are still many small spots - most will work out with some light sanding. I just knew that when I shoot the gloss gray on it that the larger defects (which are mostly dents) will show under my shop lights - so the effort was to make things better (A.K.A. minimum effort) and not worry about perfection. I didnt bother with the inside.

Light bondo and sanded out
I then re-sprayed the whole case with a second coat of primer and this is the result:






Once it was dry to the touch I brought it inside to completely dry and set-up. I guess its time to order the bearings and belts.
