Interesting jig to repeat cuts on a lathe

A woodworking lathe that is. The lathe itself is another interesting build.

Neat pumpkin carving knife

figured if stores already have haloween stuff out, I can post about it. Anyways neat knife build for carving out pumpkins, would have been nice if it allowed you to put new blades in too (its all glued together).

3D print your own cig roller

Or other things that you may smoke. Interesting build, the machine has alot of moving parts to it to roll a cig up. Unfortunately the author can’t post the build files due to laws in EU.

Nice battery operated solder fume fan

Involves alot of 3D printed parts, overall a nice build if you have that brand of power tools to use for a battery. My 2 cents, I would build it a bit simplier since it would be a 1 of a kind thing for me.

3D printed planetary gear boxes

Clever build as the author designed them to be stackable, so you can go to 1:4, to 1:16, to 1:64. The STL files are not hosted on a standard 3D site, which is a bit odd.

Homemade catapiller

Seen smaller builds lol ke this with truck tires, but using a tractor tire definitely opens up to larger frames.

Self hosting bitwarden

Bitwarden is a good password manager, and its free (to a degree). But if you don’t trust them, you can host your own bitwarden server on a RPi.
