Wall-Mounted Handsaw Hanger

T

HIS DEVICE WILL PROVIDEneat, secure storage for your handsaws,
which normally are cumbersome to hang on the wall. Start with
a 2x2 block of wood. Cut equally spaced 1^1 ⁄ 2 -in.-deep slots, one for
each saw you want to store, and buy enough marbles so that you have
one for each slot. Now drill a hole beside each slot, slightly angled, so
each hole intersects a slot. These holes should be 1 in. deep and just a
bit larger in diameter than the marble. Attach the hanger on the wall
of your shop, so the holes are on top, and place a marble in each hole.
Slide your saws up through the bottom of the slots, which will push
the marbles up. Gravity will pull the marbles down to pinch against
the blade and hold it in place.
