<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used 2 inch diameter plastic tube I found in the plumbing department.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At the tablesaw a stop block and mitre gauge are setup to cut plastic tubes 7 inches in length. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The plugs are tapped in using a rubber mallet. The fit is very tight so it will take some pounding. When they are in they will be very difficult to get out.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I first made a test piece to see what I liked and what would work. It took me a few tries but was well worth it. When I found what I liked I transferred the measurements onto the new plywood.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nuts and bolts are used to assemble the tubes to the plywood. A stick is also bolted to the centre of each tube which will allow it to swivel together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is difficult to show in photos how it works so check the <a href="https://youtu.be/VPRPaW0IHho">video</a>. It swivels good and now my dowels are sorted and easy to see. When I am finished the holder folds up and is neatly tucked away. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used some scraps and made some cuts with my measurements to see if the height and length would work and if everything would fit together properly. When I was happy with what I had I was ready to move on to building a larger case. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make the notches I measured 90 mm from the blade cut mark and drilled a small hole then tapped in a nail. After the nail was in I cut the head off.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pieces are clamped together and cut on the table saw using the miter saw gauge with the pin. I found one clamp is all that is needed to secure the boards while cutting. I did not use a dado blade but made the notch twice the thickness of the blade.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The compartment assembly fit very tight and to secure it to the frame all that was needed was to tap it in. It was a perfect fit and will not go anywhere. If your fit is a bit loose a little bit of glue will work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After searching online for some long reach clamps I decided to make some myself. Either they were too expensive or I did not know the quality I was getting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also making them myself let me make them the size I needed. It is so simple to screw in the pipes to the elbows. There are many size threaded rod available so check with your hardware store.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I went to Home Depot and bought some galvanized pipe and threaded rod. 2- 18", 1- 4 1/2", 2 elbows and 1 piece of 1/2" threaded rod. The cost was around $16.00. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This clamp has a throat reach of 18" and a height of 4". Later I purchased a 12" pipe and now the height can reach 11".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I found a piece of scrap hardwood and cut it to 7 inches I then drilled the center using a bit slightly smaller than a 1/2 inch. This will be for the threaded rod and will turn tight in the handle. A little bit of epoxy will also be applied making this a strong handle.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This clamp was easy to make and very inexpensive. You can also change the length and width of the clamp buy buying different size pipes. The deep throat or long reach clamps come in handy in the shop and are ideal for hard to reach areas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Making the clamps is easy enough even if you all you have is a drill and some basic woodworking skills.</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Always trying to clean and organise my shop so I decided to build a larger tool wall. Having many tools and picking the ones I use most is always handy and keeping them at arm's reach. This is what I call a French Cleat Plus system, because you can make tool holders that slide or hang. I like to be able to move tools around so you can add take away or rearrange any time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The two pieces of the hinge are clamped together and holes are drilled for the hinge pin. The hinge pin will be a 1/2 wooden dowel. It is easier to drill them now and later round the ends of the blocks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In order for the hinge to rotate the block ends have to be rounded. I did this first using the band saw then a belt sander. To keep things as accurate as possible it is best to pencil mark the round end and clean up using a belt sander. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When all the pieces are sanded a half inch dowel is pounded into the hinge. It feels very tight at this point but will rotate easier in time. I also use a little bit of lubrication which helped a lot.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Marking and measuring gauges are always handy in the shop. I came up with this idea of making a gauge with the pencil attached inside. This gauge is easy to adjust and micro adjust just by rotating the pencil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It fits nicely in your pocket and now you always know where you have a pencil. Making one is very simple, all you need is some hardwood maple, dowel, knurled nut and allen screw. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dowel was tapped in the maple block and the ends are cut on the bandsaw, later they can be sanded smooth. Be careful when tapping so you don't split the block, if it doesn't feel right ream the hole a small amount with the drill bit.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A bow sander is a fantastic tool for sanding rounded contours, irregular surfaces, or radiused corners.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This design is very simple and easy to make, it uses a belt sander so you can quickly switch in and out the different belts when needed. Nice to hang on your tool wall and be ready for use for a variety of sanding jobs</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is bow-shaped and has a long stroke which helps for fast sanding and comfortable to use. The narrow width strips lets you sand in tight areas.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #23282d; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To get started all you need is a piece of 2x4 and sanding belts. You don't need glue or screws or any other parts, you just have to make a few cuts on the table saw and band saw.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3"x21" belts are used. Of course larger belts can be used for a larger bow sanders. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would like to make larger ones and see how they work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The sanding belt is cut into roughly 1 inch wide strips. To do that the sandpaper is clamped down between a few blocks of scrap wood. Doing it this way will help so the belt won't kink or crease. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The belt is now ready to be put on the bow. There is a little flex on the bow but still needs to be worked on to get it in place. This is good because it will have good tension on the belt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These sanders are so easy to make so I made a second one. This is a good project for beginner woodworkers so I kept it simple. It would be nicer if hardwood was used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tested my sanders out and they work great. One had more tension than the other so remember to cut the bow larger than the belt and slowly test the belt, sand a little and test again. Keep doing this until you get the perfect fit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Angle grinders come in handy in the workshop. They can be used for cutting, polishing or bushing and more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wire wheels are useful for removing rust and debri from a variety of items. This system allows you to set the height of the grinder to get the desired action of the wire wheel. The weight of the grinder keeps it quite solid on the base. The grinder on the base helps to control the polishing action. Wire wheels leave a scratch pattern so you can always use a brass wire wheel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two slots are made in the back for a pipe clamp. They are about 1/4" long. I did this on the drill press. I marked the slot then drilled several holes and then used the drill bit as a router to finish up to make the slot. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought a 10" file and cut 2 pieces from it. I used my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgV_W1uCKGg&t=1s">Angle Grinder Miter</a> to cut the file. This is hard steel but the grinder cut it quicker than I thought.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tested a few pieces and I am very happy with the results. It took off sharp edges very quick and shaped the wood easily, and the wood still felt smooth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Conclusion</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This will be my go to tool when I want to remove small amounts of wood fast. The handle helps control the file and works on large flat surfaces which is difficult to do with a regular file.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have 2 and one will be a dedicated tool for some of my piano work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I came up with this idea because I felt a regular file could not do what a sanding block could and a file does not have the right handle. Now with a nice handle it works and looks great. I certainly will get a lot of use from these file blocks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made this simple jigsaw table for my shop. It is very basic and can be made using your cordless drill, jigsaw and a few other simple tools. You can go to your Home Depot and get them to cut the base top and sides to the right dimensions.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made the base and top 11"x 15". The height is 11". The box is inset to the base 2" this is to help with clamping the unit on a workbench or other table. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can make the first part of this table and clamp it to a table or workbench and use it right away. Or you can carry on and make the box. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everything turned out great, I was very pleased with the table. Caution should be taken when using the table. Since pieces are not clamped the upstroke of the blade can lift the workpiece so you always have to hold the pieces firm.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An oscillating sander is a good for controlled fine sanding. The best way I can think of is similar to sanding drywall. You would not use a belt sander for drywall. Also, the drill helps to get the proper speed you need. </span><br />

There will be 2 1/2" on each side of the base. This will help when clamping the unit on a workbench or table. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When storing things high up in the shop a step tool will help make thing easier to reach. Building a sturdy and safe stool is important. This one has a special feature, it has legs that fold in and out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cutting all the pieces is easy using a table saw. I used 3/4" plywood. The height of the stool will be 10" and with the additional legs it will stand at 15" </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make the legs I first glued 2 pieces of plywood together to make a thicker piece, 1 1/4". This will help make the legs stronger. I drew and cut one leg then traced 3 more. This can be done either with a jigsaw or bandsaw.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have 2 bevel gauges and use them both. The small <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1xv9EtfU_4" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">bevel gauge</a> I made a while back and it is small enough to fit in my pocket which comes in handy. It is just the right size for marking 2x4' s. and small pieces. Then I have the store bought one which has a blade around 6 inches long. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pianos skids are used for moving pianos including up and down stairs. The skid is a secure base, straps are attached to the skid and the piano, then it is placed on a dolly. The straps and rope are also used as grips to lift and move the pianos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> This one is made for Grand pianos. It has a padding to help protect the finish since grand pianos lay on their side when being moved. Grand piano lengths varies from 4- 1/2' to 9- 1/2' and weigh 500-1200 lbs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The piano made it in the house and the legs and lyre were put back on. Sometimes piano moves can be very difficult, just imagine moving a nine foot concert grand!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The skid turned out fine and the movers are very happy with it. They say is slides very easy up and down stairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> It is important to use hardwood and best materials to make the skid. Along with fine craftsmanship the skid will work great and last a long time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a different type of sand timer. When it is upright the sand will flow from one side to the other and the weight of the sand will pull the block over. I tested it and it is 2 1/2 minutes on each side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A jigsaw can make the rest of the cuts but it could turn out a little rough. If it needs a little cleaning a file and some sandpaper will finish the job. Make sure you can see the pencil lines and stay as close as you can to them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Sand was sifted to make sure it would be consistent in size so no large pieces would clog the hole. A large cup of sand was ready to use. I tested what I had so far to make sure everything was flowing from one side to the other. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I purchased a piece of plexiglass at a local plastic shop for $2.00. The Plexiglass was put onto the block and a Sharpie was used to mark where it had to be drilled. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was first drilled and then countersunk. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The sand timer is an easy build and so far I am using it in my shop for fun. The loud bang is makes a good alarm. It can be calibrated to get the exact time by adding or taking away sand and sanding the round edges.</span></div>
