BUILD: Slide-Lock Ruler Rack

I needed a way to organize the various rulers, squares, curves, etc. that I use regularly. I had seen some ruler racks that are just horizontal slits in a board, but I wanted something more secure, and able to fit pretty much any ruler with no moment or risk of falling out if its bumped.
The lock uses kids rubber bounce balls in a tapered track that wedge against the tool when pulled downward and release when lifted back up slightly.
Getting a lot of questions about the pen I use in this video is called a "long nose pattern marker" check ti out here amzn.to/1I0isxI

8 years later and you’re still helping people with this video. Genius idea.

@MrMagicBlox 4 года назад

I saw this on Pocket83's channel and followed his link to here. Neat build!

@MarkLindsayCNC 9 лет назад

Sweet little organizer! I like the way you think.

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks Mark!

@Cutlerylover4life1 4 года назад

I already have one glued up in the shop, was going to use dowels but bouncy balls are a great idea!

@moyperezwoodshop1722 9 лет назад

Ray you come up with some great ideas. It looks simple but the cool factor is definitely present on this one.

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks a lot Moy!

@MakeCrazydays 9 лет назад

Clever idea on the rubber balls. Very nice locking mechanism.

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks!

@akiriwas 9 лет назад

Genius! I was thinking it would be some kind of cam-type lock, but the rubber ball is even easier!

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks Anton!

@natecrilly742 8 лет назад

This is super clever! I can even see this used to hold the plug end of cords. I'm always fishing for the plug on my tools, so a single one of these mounted with magnets would be perfect to keep the cord handy!

@pocket83 8 лет назад

I really want to make that. I have so many geometry templates, triangles, curves, et cetera- and they are all balancing on this stupid little shelf. I remember the garage woodworking guy once made some sort of cam-style locking gizmo rack that was based on a logarithmic spiral, and I was hoping that I would someday come across an easier alternative. I think I just did! Thanks.

@TabLeft 8 лет назад

+pocket83 Thanks for watching! (P.S. i'm a big fan of you channel)

@pocket83 8 лет назад

Thanks! I'm going to build one today. It's going to make a cameo on my side channel, if you don't mind. I'll give you a mention and a link ;)

@TabLeft 8 лет назад

+pocket83 That's sounds great! I mention/link back in the next channel update.

Love how the balls act as a friction lock/cam to secure the tool in position Ray!

@TabLeft 6 лет назад

Mark Christopher well who doesn’t love a little ball friction 🤣

@LetsPrepTogether 7 лет назад

Very cool idea! I like the simple but effective system with the rubber balls!

@TabLeft 7 лет назад

Thanks 👍👍👍

@seti1024 7 лет назад

Really neat. Going to make it.

@TabLeft 7 лет назад

seti1024 called a "long nose pattern marker" and is sold by "fastcap". Alternatively you can use the "reach" by "Dixon" which is often sold at lowes. The reach is cheaper but doesn't have the big marker on the back.

@pascalsurprenant7249 7 лет назад

@TedAlexander24 9 лет назад

Another great build. Where do you get all of these ideas Ray?

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks Ted! And most of my projects are really just guided by a lack of space, tools, or materials.

@SuperMarcoArt 9 лет назад

This. Is. Awesome.

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Thanks! Wish I had built it years ago.

@SuperMarcoArt 9 лет назад

+TabLeft Workshop I JUST bought the bouncy balls. Go figure, it's about the same price to buy 250 as it is to buy 24. I'm either going to make a massive rack or a random kid is going to have the best day ever.

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

+SuperMarcoArt haha yeah I still have like 3 dozen in the garage that I need to find something to do with.

@user-vy7er1iq3r 5 лет назад

Интересное решение. Всех благ.

@ChrisDuggin 9 лет назад

Another question. I didn't see anything on the top. What's to keep the balls from coming out while over zealously grabbing a ruler?

@TabLeft 9 лет назад

Chris Duggin lol... nothing. I had considered closing it but it didn't seem to need it plus this will allow me to blow it out with the air compressor if needed. if it gets to be an issue though i will definitely add covers.
