Interesting Lathe build

Posted on August 18, 2018 by robertwilkie

Its a nice looking build, just not so sure I would have used 3D printed parts with it.  I like the car belt being used too. https://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Wood-Lathe/

Posted on August 7, 2018 by robertwilkie

Nice looking build the author make for a pushblock for a table saw.  Its a bit heavier than I would like, but…it will serve its purpose. http://rolandrolson.eu/2017/12/09/table-saw-push-block/

Duct Tape Dispenser

Posted on July 27, 2018 by robertwilkie

The author 3D prints out the spinner for the duct tape.  The rest is an old razor and wood cuts.  I like the overall build of this. https://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-Tape-Dispenser/

One sheet plywood couch

Posted on May 31, 2018 by robertwilkie

Nice build, I like out the author angled everything . My 2 cents, should put some handles (hole ones) on the top to help to move it.  Also I think I would make the corners rounded. http://www.instructables.com/id/Flat-Pack-Folding-Plywood-Sofa/
