Interesting Drill guide

Posted on June 8, 2023 by robertwilkie

Its more like a portable drill press. Nice build, not so sure I would do it over some of the ones you can buy for $50, given the time to make this. Now if the parts where all pre-cut for me….

Cheap clamp lamp

Posted on June 7, 2023 by robertwilkie

the lamp parts are easy to come by, the clamps I think you can get for a few bucks. Could make for nice simple shop lights. Maybe add a magnet from an old harddrive to the bottom of the clamp to give it even more versitility.

A cheap light bulb changer

Posted on May 29, 2023 by robertwilkie

For those bulbs up high that you can’t reach. Basically it’s an adapter you add onto a PVC pipe to screw in and out the light bulb.

Nice router lift

Posted on May 24, 2023 by robertwilkie

Nice built that uses a standard trim router. Been looking at building my own but trim routers (used and cheap) are hard to find. Full size ones are easier to find.
