Jigsaw table with a hacksaw blade

OK so it took me a bit on figuring out how this works. Basically the one end of the blade is modified to fit on the jigsaw, and the other end a bolt is modified to hold it in. A bit of a crazy build, but it seems to work.

Making your own cardboard containers

Interesting build, basically you 3D print out the molds. Then grind up old cardboard to put into the molds to dry out.

Turning a C Clamp into an Arbor Press

Clever build, basically the author has a set of 3D prints you can make to convert the 4 inch C-Clamp into a light dutye arbor press. Pretty clever build. Me…I like the build but I am not so sure I would print it…maybe just cut some holes into the side of the clamp and use wood to mount it?

Nice 3D printed and wood cut glue gun station build

This could come in handy for a makerspace, or kids projects. Basically its a laser cut and 3D printed set where you cut the trays, and print out the holders and ends. Me…not so sure I would go this far in the build. I typically just use a mat myself. But if this is for a bunch of kids projects, and I needed to keep the tables clean…hum…

Making a cheap fence for a bandsaw

OK I like this build, it is pretty simple and uses a cheap clamp from Harbor Freight. I am not so sure I would have gone as far as the author did planing the wood down thought. for a fit within the clamp, I would have just cut something that “kindof” fits.

A jig to make chain link fence

Interesting build…not so sure I would do it as its alot of work, and I can buy the result pretty cheaply. I guess if I had need for a custom size this would work well.
