    Pin router for your shop

    Just ran across this, and thought I'd pass it along for anyone interested. http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/daisypin.html I've got to say it's a neat idea. However, it's also something that would be plenty easy enough to make on your own, and less expensive...

    Tool column for small shop

    Hi guys. Been awhile. I've been hanging out with some metalworking guys, learning a lot. Awhile back I posted about a take-apart workbench I made. Worked just as expected. However. Took up a lot of valuable floor space in my 8X12 shop, and about killed my back when I used it, because...

    File/Rasp Handles

    Hi people. Been spending time on one of the metal forums a lot lately. Got a very good tip the other day and thought I'd pass it along. Had to buy a couple of new metal files. Didn't feel like turning more file handles. One of the guys had mentioned using golf balls for file handles...

    PORTABLE BANDSAW STAND

    Well, I ai'nt dead yet. That's a quote, if you question the spellilng. Been spending time with the guys that cut metal and decided that using an angle grinder to cut metal with, what with all the sparks and all, was too much of a PITA, so got myself a nifty HF portable bandsaw, and made a quicky...

    An Idiot's Guide To Cane Making

    Or, in other words, almost anyone can make a wooden cane, it ain't rocket science. Decided to make another spare cane. First one was of oak flooring, planed to 1/2"X1" and glued so I've got a cane 1"X1", nicely sturdy, not really heavy, well balanced. This one will be like my present cane...

    Mitersaw Problem - need help.

    I got one of the $80 Harbor Freight mitresaws a year or two ago. Got it set up just as I wanted and it's been doing great. But a couple of days ago it stopped shutting off. Plugged it in, pulled the trigger, cut my wood, released the trigger, the motor speed decreased, but it did not shut off...

    Plastic bag carrier - wip

    Any more it's a bit of a hassle for me to manage plastic bags from the store with one hand and a cane with the other. Definitely didn't want to make multiple trips, but those bags do tend to dig in. So, took inspiration from this. View image in gallery Definitely did not want to pay whatever...

    Knockdown Workbench

    Due to a unamious decision, froglips liked it, I'll try posting some pictures of my knockdown workbench I recently made. If this doesn't work blame him, he told me how to do pictures. The bench was inspired by pictures of a knockdown reloading bench made by a gun writer years ago, either Jack...

    Easy Way To Make Wooden Discs

    On occassion I have a need for multiple wooden discs, and they are a PITA to make with a hole saw. I've researched it, asked questions, and didn't get any satisfactory answers. Awhile back I came up with the idea of making a master so I could rout them out - hey, easier and faster than messing...

    A work of "It aint Art" in progress

    I've been spending a lot of time lately over on some of the gunsmithing forums and decided I needed a portable bench with different tops I can bolt on with different tools as needed. It ain't gonna be pretty, but even if it was, it wouldn't be for long. Anyway decided you guys should know I'm...

    Who says woodworking is hard?

    Transferring files and ran across this. Quite neat I thought. However. There is ALWAYS a however. However, I would NOT recommend using pressure treated wood to make one of these. There's a piece somewhere on the web about using pressure treated wood in buildings used to house animals, and...

    Tactile Chess Set

    Just ran across this. Neat, very neat. Make a very nice gift for someone that could use it, or just a nice gift period. I've been trying to come up with an idea to allow me to encase a game in progress and keep the pieces in place, all sorts of Rube Goldberg ideas, but nothing I liked. Until...

    DIY Cannoe, For Guys With No Tools

    This is about as basic as it gets. Looks like it could be a fun project. Personally I don't favor canoes, too tippy for me, I want something wide enough to stretch out on the seat and take a nap. http://www.navesinkmaritime.org/wiki/doku.php?id=nmha:dugout_description
