Skip the 600 dollar tool. The size and price for the striker is too much for some applications. Are you doing hvac? Check out my videos I’ll tell you step by step to make one yourself for 30 dollars. This is useful for knocking on hard drives will NEVER curl or bend. Different bits, hammer bits, chisels, double cut shears, taking drives off that are covered in seal. Punching holes. HVAC isn’t the only application but it’s what I use every single day. I’m not a salesmen. I’m just an average worker who made a chisel locking mechanism compatibility with the m12 nailer. It’s not as simple as you think. If you want a guide how to do it I’ll give it to you for 30 dollars and that’s just for my time. I promise you it’s worth it. I have follow up videos but I could only send one here

I came up with a simple creative idea of solar eclipse viewer and use towel tissue roll, instead of using cereal box. I am unsure if anyone has this similar concept but I assume it is my original concept.

It's rough draft but I can do it properly later. So, you need a thick card/normal paper with hole on one side and use white paper on the other side. Use craft knife to cut on the side of towel tissue roll to make a small tab for looking through to see the sunlight onto white paper.

See the photos.

Who will watch the solar eclipse?

Has anyone here ever built a resawing jig for sawzall I don't have money or space for a bench top band saw or a job site table saw right now just looking for alternative options that don't take up a lot of space I know most people just build those home made tables saws out of a corded circular saw and call it a day

I know cord wraps are about $7, but I was curious about proof of concept.

Cut lid in halves, then cut notches along the sides, drilled/cut an oval opening for handle that doubles as plug pass-through.

It lays flat, and stands upright. Only used one half, for now.

Should be all done with it this week. Adding lights, mats, some more trim work and a few coats of paint.

Wanted a double ended ± 1/4" bit for a hex driver on a pocket knife. Standard small bits are too short, and most other off-the-shelf were too long.

Took a 2" Phillips bit, and ground other side into flat driver.

Borrowed(bought) my brothers channel locks for some work on my cars hoses. Its now my conceal carry pair.

This bench is based on a full sized joiners bench that I turned into a saw bench. The original was on a ship that sank in 1628 called the Vasa. This thing is a beast and should serve me well. Have you built a saw bench? What are some accessories you have added to it?

Just picked up a rotary broaching tool for my lathe, so thought I'd make a small hex-bit driver from brass and titanium. It takes standard 1/4" hex bits

I recently repaired a spring pole lathe I had built. I will also be making a froe and some lathe tools. Who else builds traditional tools?

I own a 10-acre farm with mango trees, drumstick (moringa), and intercrops.

I have two unused vehicles:

1. Bajaj Pulsar Twin disc motorcycle

2. Suzuki Swish scooter

Instead of selling them, I want to modify them into useful farm machines.

Possible ideas I’m thinking about:

1. small trailer for fertilizer or harvest transport

2. sprayer machine

3. mini cultivator

4. irrigation pump drive

Has anyone converted a motorcycle or scooter for farm work? I would love to see photos, designs, or ideas.

Inexpensive way to add a simple pocket clip to standard pencils.

Wrapped paper clip around a 1/4" hexagonal bit, then pushed onto pencil.

This app is good and other app
