Simple miter box build
For your circular saw. Me, I use the compound miter for a lot of these types of cuts, but, if its for a flat board thats bigger than the miter can handle, this could come in handy. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/homemade-circular-saw-crosscut-circular-saw-miter-slide-cutting-station-72158?homelistings#post130367

Use a hockey puck to hold pipe to cut on bandsaw
Good idea, the author took a hockey puck and put a v cut in the middle of it to hold the pipe, and then slid that along the table to cut it on a bandsaw. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/sawing-handheld-round-stock-safely-72144?homelistings#post130321

Nice plastic bender
This is a pretty slick looking build to bend plastic into shapes. Note you most likely want to do this in a well ventilated place. I like the pre-made angles for the build too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Acrylic-Bending-Tool/

Nice jig for crown molding
I like this jig, cause I typically try to do it by hand on the miter saw, this would make it a lot easier. One difference I would do, make 2 so there is on on each side. https://www.instructables.com/id/Jig-for-Cutting-Perfect-Crown-Molding/
