When I first bought my tablesaw, I had one blade, an arbor wrench, and a rip fence. But after a few years, my collection of blades was hanging on the wall and my accessories were stored randomly all over the shop. I put an end to the tablesaw clutter by building a rolling storage cart that sits under the extension table of my saw.

The cart holds all the tablesaw’s fixtures, including blades, miter gauge, setup squares, wrenches, and throat plates. Blades slip on and off the carriers easily. The carriers slide into an angled rack, which keeps the blades in place. All the materials and hardware can be purchased at your local home center.

The sides and drawer boxes are made of 1/2-in. plywood; the rest is 3/4-in. Joinery is simple (screws). The cart should fit under the extension table of your saw (don’t forget to allow for the casters). Its length should not exceed the front-to-back dimension of your saw’s extension table. I use 10-in. blades, so I made the interior width 13 in. I left 1-1/2 in. of clearance between the cart and the extension table. The extra space allows me to leave the carrier for the blade I’m using right on top of the other carriers. That way, when I change blades, I don’t have to go looking for it.
