Pop-up bench dogs
Clever build where you can just push down on the dogs to get them to pop up for use. Me…I am cheap, and I would just have holes that I push them in and out of. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Pop-Up-Bench-Dogs/

Clever jig to use with a speed square
Basically the author adds on a thin strip of wood that is cut off roughly where the blade would start cutting on a circular saw, This way you can line it up and then run the saw along side the … Continue reading
Interesting build to convert a drillpress into an Oscillating sander

Magnetic guide for saw cuts
Nice build, the author puts a magnet inside a 4×4, and that is used as the straight edge to guide the saw for a straight cut. https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Magnetic-3-in-1-Hand-Saw-Guide-Cut-Straight-Sq/
Nice featherboard build from cutting board
I like the jig he made to make the featherboards. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/featherboard-cutting-board-video-81009?homelistings#post164541
Interesting add on for casters on a workbench
The author put angle iron on the ends to re-enforce the legs, and used bolts into the metal instead. https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/heavy-duty-caster-wheel-heavy-wooden-workbench-82395?homelistings#post169671
Simple holder for small cuts on a miter saw.
Basically its a paint stick with a nail on one end. Actually I think I will make this with a paint stick. And use a nut/bolt on the other end (sharpen the end of the bolt). https://www.popularwoodworking.com/tricks/add-a-pinch-of-safety/
