Simple build for a box joint jig
Pretty simple build to make for a box joint jig. These jigs (metal ones) run $100, thought I have seem some plastic jobs a bit cheaper. But this you could do with a scrap piece of plywood, and some time. … Continue reading

Magnetic guide for saw cuts
Nice build, the author puts a magnet inside a 4×4, and that is used as the straight edge to guide the saw for a straight cut. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Magnetic-3-in-1-Hand-Saw-Guide-Cut-Straight-Sq/

Interesting add on for casters on a workbench
The author put angle iron on the ends to re-enforce the legs, and used bolts into the metal instead. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/heavy-duty-caster-wheel-heavy-wooden-workbench-82395?homelistings#post169671

Simple holder for small cuts on a miter saw.
Basically its a paint stick with a nail on one end. Actually I think I will make this with a paint stick. And use a nut/bolt on the other end (sharpen the end of the bolt). https://www.popularwoodworking.com/tricks/add-a-pinch-of-safety/

Scary build, grinder to chainsaw
Chainsaws make me nervous to begin with. This build…yeah I would never do this build.
Interesting Chisel Sharpening build
Using some bearings, nuts, and a really thick threaded rod. Pretty simple build, but it must have taken forever to cut the slot in the rod. I think I would have bought something instead of doing all that for the … Continue reading
