The jointer is an essential machine for the wood shop. It does one thing well: cut a flat surface on a piece of wood. I don't use the jointer all the time, as handy as it is, so a place must be for the storage of the machine.
The solution is to build a shelf into the jig rack. I gain a place to store the jointer when it is not in use and do so without needing additional floor space. As a part of the project, a set of handles will be attached to the jointer for easier handling. If the machine is to be moved for storage, the awkwardness of handling must be reduced!
As of this point, the handles have been fabricated, but the shelf is still a pile of wood....

| Still need a little milling. |
 |
| Shelf sides, read to be attached to the Jig rack... |
 |
| Shelf sides, waiting for the shelf proper. |
 |
| Ready for glue! |
 |
| First Rail drying. |
I did not photograph the rest of the gluing process because it was very similar to what is going on in the last picture. In the next post, I will round over the edges, sand and apply lineseed oil finish.
