Made this dowel pin bin today from scraps to store the bulk pins I purchased. I plan on setting it out on the work table when needed and then store in the cabinet when not needed. How do the rest of you store your pins? I'm curious to see other ideas. I thought about setting up a systainer such as with my dominos, but I purchased a large quantity of pins, so that wouldn't work.   |

Very cool...I might add a lid of some kind to keep them from getting mixed if they tipped or having stuff fall into the bins. Looks great, though...

Keep mine in Ziplock bags to keep moisture changes from effecting the pins.

Keep mine in Ziplock bags to keep moisture changes from effecting the pins. Nice. Brings up a good point, shop RH vs final project location RH and wood MC and EMC. How do you deal those variables? Just curious. I'd love to have a kiln. |

A kiln would be great. Maybe someday.
The Laurier dowels are compressed so they are vulnerable to moisture. If you aren't careful they might expand in high humidity and not fit.
As for Moisture content and dealing with it in relation to my projects it comes down to application and time. Use a moisture meter and often will store the material on the job for as long as I can before an install. Anything that can help and even then you can have problems.
I'm sure you have seen some crazy stuff putting beams high in a ceiling thats going to get heated.

My shop is heated fairly well and I'm lucky to live in a mild climate which really helps. I rarely have problems with projects. The best step for prevention for me has been milling and then leaving for a few weeks and then finish milling.
I'm going to look into that Hygrometer. Might help the trial and error.

I traded three t-locs with a FOG member, for two Classic sys 2's, with the Domino assortment dividers. Put on a couple of red latches and printed a label that my 9 year old helped me make on 'Power Point'. Printed it on transparent self adhesive film.   |

I am thinking of trading my T-Loc Domino case for a classic.
I also have a centrotec but I need to make sure the chucks fit onto a Metablo before I do anything.
It also has a top piece with some bits, but having one T-loc on the top of the stack is OK, and that gets used a lot.
Where do you get the red latches from?

Took them off the side of my DD40 sys, and replaced them with gray ones.
