Electric planer jig
I got a kick out of this jig, basically its taking your hand held electric planer and making it into a shaper of sorts, so you can plain straight, flat edges. Rather clever build.

Uses for junk screwdrivers
I like the bit where he takes the handles off the drivers and puts them on files and other things. Not so sure I would make o-ring picks like he did (get them pretty cheap at Harbor Freight). https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/tools-made-old-screwdrivers-video-83162?homelistings#post172463
Another simple bench sander
This build is not fancy like a lot of others, the author uses a furnace blower motor for the main drive and its “fan” to mount sandpaper too. Its pretty straight forward and simple build to do. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/bench-sander-furnace-inducer-motor-video-83163?homelistings#post172464
A better taping jig for the table saw
This author built a jig similar to the one from yesterday, but found it was a bit unsafe, so built the slider based one. https://www.instructables.com/A-Much-Safer-Table-Saw-Taper-Jig/

Simple tapering jig for table saw
I have seen some fancy sleds for a tapering jig for table saws, this one is pretty simple build compared to the sleds. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/precision-tapering-jig-table-saw-how-make-81167?homelistings#post165268

Simple wire twister
I like this build. I have twisted way more wires together than I would like to admit by hand. This would be useful to have to do that.I think I would have tried to use something with a bigger bolt … Continue reading
Nice drillpress build
Pretty nice build. Uses a DC motor which is rather quiet too. Me…I can buy one for less. Not as ridged. But will do the job. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/drill-press-video-81182?homelistings#post165334

Nice simple circle maker jig
For a tablesaw. Not so sure I would use t-track instead of some sort of channel instead (t-track can get expensive). But overall nice build. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/adjustable-table-saw-circle-jig-81165?homelistings#post165266

Fancy tablesaw cross cut with dust collection
Pretty fancy cross cut sled. I like to look at it, but I don’t think I will ever get around to making something this fancy. https://www.instructables.com/TABLE-SAW-CROSS-CUT-SLED-W-STOP-BLOCK-DUST-COLLECT/
