WOOD magazine's Editorial Process Updated on April 10, 2024 In the past when I built a project from plans, those plans either took up valuable benchtop space, or hid tools on the wall. I needed a place to put them where they'd be within easy reach, but out of the way. Inspired by the slide-away cutting board in my kitchen. I made the hideaway plan table, shown below. Because I left a 3⁄4 " space between the plan table and the benchtop, I can slide the table away, even if plans are attached to it with thumbtacks or push pins.—Kevin Boricic, Mitchell, Ontario If you like this project, please check out the hundreds of shop-proven paper and downloadable woodworking project plans in the WOOD Store.
