Making gates for a shop vac system
Pretty nice (and fancy looking) build for vaccum gates. Me…I would go a bit cheaper on the build. Actually I might just buy cheap ones from overseas. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/gates-suction-circuit-how-do-87181?homelistings#post188109

Nice tool for using belt sanding stripes
I like the build, but…I think I would use something else for the “bow” part of the sander, only cause I would be worried the thin wood strip would snap. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/arch-sanding-tool-video-87134?homelistings#post187946

Interesting clamp
The author made some really long clamps. I like the wedge build to secure the end. My 2 cents, pipe clamp kits are under $5, and the pipe another $8….they don’t look as nice thought.

Nice Dado Jig for a Router
Been on a router jig kick. This is to make dados on wide boards. Only change I would make is the ability to mount a stop bit on the other end. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-Stopped-Dado-Jig-for-Any-Router/
