Macro Photography

It’s not perfect but the second picture with the microbevel is sharper than it was before. Here is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, take a close up picture of a plane blade edge before and after.

Nerf Gun Wall

My son has a growing Nerf gun collection that gathered on the floor so I made a wall rack for them.

Itsy bitsy

I saw this spider in my backyard while pulling weeds and thought I’d take a couple pictures using my Canon 100mm macro lens.

Domino Support Bracket

I made a better support bracket for my Festool Domino XL 700. This one bolts onto the base and is larger than the one that came with the kit and also has clamping elements to allow you to slide a clamp in and hold your work piece for you.
It’s building onto the Domino Dock plans I followed to hold the Domino upright in the cradle.

Cut bolts quick and safe

I needed to trim many bolts to an odd length. This is how I did it using a scrap of wood, drill and a jig saw.

Shortening tablesaw rails

I bought shorter 32” rails for my tablesaw to replace my current 52” ones for my new smaller shop space.  The generic brand didn’t fit my old fence which wanted the square tubing ¼” wider that was on my original 52” fence setup so the clamp wouldn’t grab.

I went to a metal supplier and got flat aluminum bar that was 1.5” wide and ¼” thick, drilled/countersunk holes and tapped mating holes in the 32” rail to build it out.

Works like a charm.

Cost me $16 to fix the problem
