    Advanced Box Joint Jig - new to me!

    It's been a long time since I have posted anything - please accept my apology if this has already been posted. I like box/finger joints and have always been fascinated by the variety of jigs to make them! I recently ran across this Advanced Box Joint Jig while searching Google, and noticed a...

    Shopmade Vortex Drum

    Since it is a pain to empty the bag on the Dust Collector, I decided to make a simple Vortex Drum using the system from Rockler and a Fiber Drum I got from Industrial Supplies on the web. It was easy to do and seems to work very well. This is the Rockler input/output duct system...

    My first "shop-made" lathe tool

    Last night I finished assembling my first shop-made lathe tool. I decided to copy the "EZ Rougher" design, both for the effectiveness of the tool as well as the simplicity of manufacture. And the best part was, it only cost me $1.60 to build! I started with a spare carbide insert and screw...

    Drawbore pins - yup, I made'm myself!

    For a demonstration (and a great excuse to finally follow through), I made a drawbore pin! This is an old tool, used to test fit and align mortise and tenons using an offset peg. The idea, is if you drill a hole for the peg through the mortise with a brad point or auger bit (with a lead...

    Shop-made Drill Press Mobile Base

    Thought you might be interested to see the shop-made mobile base I just completed. The reason you might want to build your own as opposed to buying one is that you enjoy the challenge and simply like projects of this type. Not to mention, the cost of materials on this base is appealing. The...

    Shopmade Push Pad

    I was getting really bored today waiting for the weather to warm up a bit for some shop time! Needed something quick to throw together (but useful) in my 50 degree shop. Last week I ran about 100 board feet of white oak over the jointer using conventional Ridgid OEM push pads. Well to say I...

    ShopMade Shop Press!

    Ever being the tinkerer, I tried to repair a PC Sander which had a bad bearing. Long story short, I ruined the Armature when attempting to take out the lower bearing. Due in part to not having the right tools for the right job. So, I decide to make one of the tools necessary for just these...

    Shop-Made Cyclone Overcome!

    I rolled the planer, DC and my shop-made cyclone outdooors, to plane the oak I got from Tracy down to 1/2" thickness. I was working on a small TV table for LOML, and had glued up the panels for the shelves. Sure enough, one panel had a slight bump (the other one was in 2 pieces, so I just...

    Shop-Made Feather Board/Single-Point Fence Jig

    Last, but not least, another shop-made jig! This one is from WOOD magazine - June/July 2003. I already have a fence mounted single-point attachment for my 16'' Jet band saw - so I doubt I will ever use that part of the jig; especially since I do not have a miter slot on the left side of the...

    Shop-Made Dial Indicator Holder

    Here we go again! From WOOD magazine October 2005. My old Walker-Turner jointer does not have jack screws, so I used the Jointer Pal jig to install the blades. This jig will be used to confirm the blades are adjusted to the correct height. I checked my blade height and found highest point was...
