Another nice CNC foam cutter

Posted on February 22, 2022 by robertwilkie

This one seems to let you “expand” the width of the table for the cutter.

Using black pipe to make a bench

Posted on February 21, 2022 by robertwilkie

Nice build, the author uses black pipe to make the frame for a bench for his laser printer. The shelf/top is from an old door, This is a nice way to make a heavy duty frame rather quickly. Not so sure if its cheaper than wood thought.. He uses some fancy stem casters that have a rubber insert that expands into the pipe to hold it in.

Make a simple bottle cap shooter

Posted on February 18, 2022 by robertwilkie

Basically its a kindof slingshot crossbow combo. Not alot of strength behind it (and you don’t want that much with the frame out of PVC), but still a nice build to do with kids.

Automatic Vertical Edge Clamp

Posted on February 17, 2022 by robertwilkie

Nice build for a simple clamp to hold boards upright. Not sure if I would make these unless I had a project for them…actually maybe with sizing doors I could see this being handy….
