Some diy's I'm working on

Post by Dave Bagwill » Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:23 pm

I'm kind of between projects at the moment, so until I get some materials together I'm going to busy myself making some of these diy's that are easy but functional.

Looks cool. Can you explain the purpose please?

The bottom picture is a small router type table but instead of a router, a dremel or other rotary tool is used.

The middle picture is a simple router table where a router IS used

The top pictures are a couple of ways to sand angles accurately and repeatedly.

Very cool. I need to get more jiggy with it. I have no home made jigs. I need some for making bridges now that I am making those myself. First I need to come up with m own design, then make jigs so that it is repeatable.
Nicely done Dave!

You may want to invest in a "Luthier's Friend" or make a knock-off. They work great for bridges and are time savers.
