A basic ventilator
I like this build, it shows the basic concepts of a ventilator. Now given in the USA this would never be allowed. But in other countries that don’t have access to 20K and up ventilators, this simple build could be … Continue reading

Nice Drill Press accessories
The author build a dust collector and laser guide. Only thing with both of them is you have to constantly adjust them if the table moves. https://www.instructables.com/id/Drill-Press-Dust-Collector-Laser-Guide/

Interesting food processor build
The author took a grinder, and 2 metal cans to make a food processor. Interesting build…not so sure why he didn’t use a food processor (I think you can get ones for $20 that are decent). Either way with the … Continue reading
Interesting birdhouse build
Could be a nice way to make one and eliminate some of the wood needed for the floor. Actually I think I would paint the can myself, and stain or paint the wood. But its a nice build overall. https://www.instructables.com/id/Coffee-Can-Birdhouse/
