I got to organizing my heaping pile of barstock a while back and I discovered I had many more bits of allthread and odd shapes than I thought I did! What I needed was a mini-shelf system that could fit within my larger shelving that would organize the bits and bobs in some way. What I came up with was a quick and dirty contraption that's held together with glued tonge-and-groove joints; i.e. no nails or screws to make it work. The downside of this design is that I had to figure out a way of routing many parallel slots. A 'traditional' router fence is some old board that's clamped on one end, then fine tuned by whacking the other end with a hammer. This is fine for ordinary routing requirements but it's utterly useless for what I had in mind. I decided to find a way to make my router's fence move in more or less parallel steps. This kludge was done from things I found in various bins: two linear bearings, some angle aluminum, some brass rod and a four pieces of 2" square aluminum bar.
