The case illustrated in Fig. 25 was designed to protect saws from dampness in a basement shop that was none too dry. It is hung on the wall, and a dish of kerosene is kept in the bottom.

Another advantage of a cabinet of this type is that the teeth are not exposed to accidental damage as when the saws are hung on nails in the open shop.

The box can be built of waste lumber 7/8 in. thick. It is 12 in. deep, 14¼ in. wide, and 42 in. high. The saw holder is 12½ by 11 in. with slots 2½ in. apart, running with the grain. There should be a reinforcing cleat 4 by 12½ in. across the underside of the saw holder, at the back. The doors, too, should be well cleated to prevent warping, and hung with three hinges.

Finish the case with stain and varnish, or paint, as preferred.
