I like this build since it allows for planing of a board. Only thing is the back board for the “planer” looks like it could be a bit loose.

I have used some guides in the base. Made my own “track” guide. But this build is pretty impressive one. I like the handle on it.

The project, Poseidon project by California Institute of Technology, has som
e pretty cool builds. It includes a 3D printed digital microscope, and a 3D printed syringe pump. They use arduino’s for controllers.
Interesting build, the author uses 2 round ends, a PVC pipe to connect them, and puts carpet pad around it (and duct tape to hold it) for making a punching bag. Me….you can get cheap bags on sale for
$25, and then stuff those full of rags. I think doing it this way is cooler, but will cost more.
I saw this one and all I could thing of is battlestar galactica.
The author used a kit called the ARCO Openbuilds CNC, which seems to be a pre prepped kit for the hardware part of the CNC, but you have to put it together, and add in the drill/laser/etc etc. Interesting build overall.

Nicer than the one I made anyways. I like how the author built in a stop on it too keep it from unwinding.
The author is using the XK-2, a knockoff from Kreg jigs that looks more impressive, and cheaper. Its a nice setup.
I got a kick out of this jig, basically its taking your hand held electric planer and making it into a shaper of sorts, so you can plain straight, flat edges. Rather clever build.
Tape some furnace filters into a box shape and put a box fan on top, bang, you have a HEPA filter. I just got a kick out of this build so posted it up.
