Consistently Clean Cuts
Like a lot of woodworkers, I use a shop-made edge guide for my circular saw.
No Lathe? Plane it!
My apartment has no room for a shop, so I rely on hand tools for making pens. With no lathe, I had to come up with another method for shaping the pen barrels.
Bonus Benchtop
With benchtop space at a premium in my shop, I made this multipurpose auxiliary top for my tablesaw. It features T-tracks and dogholes for workholding. Handholds make it easy to install and store out of the way.
Rock-Solid Roller Stand
Support your local stand: The inexpensive roller stands I bought had one major weakness—they collapse with the slightest bump or nudge. This quick and easy fix results in a rock-solid support.
Inexpensive Snug Miter Bar
No wiggle in your jig(gle): I make a lot of jigs and fixtures that rely on a snug-fitting bar to ride in a miter slot. My inexpensive hardwood miter bars adjust for a perfect sliding fit.
Whisk Away The Dust
The filter on my air cleaner needs cleaned periodically to maintain its efficiency. But trying to vacuum the caked-on dust from the cloth filter wasn’t working.
