Box Jointer Jig
I like this build since it could be converted to add a motor controller onto it later on. Definitely a build I will be thinking about for the future. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Build-a-Variable-Box-Joint-Jig/

Simple holder for a vernier caliper to make it a height gauge
Nice and simple build so you can stick your caliper on it, and get height settings for your router and saw tables. https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Simple-Height-Gauge/

Simple tool to make rope
You can use this jig to make rope out of twine. Pretty simple build except the gears…not sure where they came from. https://www.instructables.com/id/RopeCord-Maker/

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/

Convert a grinder into a compound sliding miter saw

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/

3D Router, hand based tool
The author basically made a 3D CNC, but, its all hand controlled. Not a bad idea to get presision slots and cuts without having to go to CAD, then CAM, then setup a CNC. Just alot of work to make. … Continue reading

Make your own sawhorses from plywood
Interesting build, looks like the author used 3/4 plywood, and nice faced stuff (not cheap stuff). Me….I think you can get 2 of the plastic sawhorses at Harbor Frieght for $15, not as nice looking but cheaper and quicker. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/diy-plywood-sawhorses-72205?homelistings#post130540
