Build your own High Voltage Generator
Nice idea, the author needed something that could do high (100V) voltage but with a low current. I am pretty impressed he did this with a battery no less. https://blog.theledart.com/blog/archives/2148

Interesting multitool, but a bit pricey
This looks liek a pretty cool multi-tool but I think its bigger than it looks in the pictures, so it won’t be a simple “pocket” tool. And…its $100.

Simple template for skims
Nice idea the author made for using a bandsaw to make shims as needed. I could see this be adapted for a tablesaw as well. Normally I would just buy shims, but in a pinch, this is a good way … Continue reading
Convert a broken compressor into an air tank
Good idea for some of those cheap compressors that the motor dies off on you. Author says its around $10 in parts to do, I am thinking closer to $20 if you are unable to re-use parts already on the … Continue reading
