Cool CNC plotter robot arm build
Nice build, the author laser cuts all the parts and uses 3 cheap servos to power it. Pretty nice looking build https://www.instructables.com/id/SCARA-Robot-Learning-About-Foward-and-Inverse-Kine/

Interesting build for a foam cutter
I was a bit surpised at this build. Its pretty straight forward to make and cheap. But what was interesting is the use of a coping saw as the cutter holder and applying the power thru the saw. Me…I think … Continue reading
Using an old innertube to make rubber roses
Maybe a good (and cheap) build for V-day. https://www.instructables.com/id/Recycled-Innertube-Roses/
Make a jig for coves on the table saw
I had to watch the end of this video first to figure out what the heck the author was making. Basically its a jig so you can have beveled grooves in a board. Pretty clever idea. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/coves-made-table-saw-fence-precise-duplicatable-77194?homelistings#post149883

Another nice wire stripper build
Pretty simple build…actually could be a bit simplier if needed. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/homemade-wire-stripping-machine-video-77135?homelistings#post149633

A spoon based lampshade
Nice lampshade. Not so sure I would put the time into making this, unless I was really hurting for cash (like a college student) and needed something for a light that looked nice https://www.instructables.com/id/Plastic-Spoon-DIY-Lampshade-for-Home-Decor/
Making a handheld planer into a tabletop
Nice build, the author made a nice jig for the planer to basically plane down boards to a given size.

Nice knob jig
Nice build for a jig to make knobs. Me…I just hand cut them for now. This build is nice cause it can be used for different number of grab points on the knob.

Interesting wooden clamp build
Its a nice build, I like the cheap way he makes the coil for the spring on the handle. Me…well Harbor Freight sells these pretty cheap, and won’t take me 2 hours to make.
