Small Parts Table Saw Sled w/ Clamp + Bonus Bench Hook Building Plan
$20.00

Build two quick and highly functional shop projects from a single 8 foot 2x4: a Small Parts Table Saw Sled with Clamp and a Bench Hook. Both tools are designed to improve safety and precision when working with small pieces of wood— something that’s often awkward or risky on a table saw.

Materials needed to build this project:

• One 8' 2x4 (or just use 3/4" boards)

• 5/16" Tbolt (2 1/4")

• 5point star knob

• Wood glue

The sled includes an integrated clamping system using a homemade Tslot and adjustable clamp to secure small workpieces, while the bench hook is perfect for handsaw work and generalpurpose bench support. With just a table saw and a drill, you can build both of these projects in a weekend using basic joinery, and end up with tools you’ll reach for again and again in your workshop

DIY Writer Deck Focused Computer Typerwriter
$20.00

Included in this plan are the design .svg and .pdf files to cut out the sections to make this plywood computer case + basic step by step instructions.

To create the case you'll need: 1/2" plywood, 1/4" plywood, 1/8" plywood and 1/4" MDF.

This case was designed for a 10" HDMI screen and a 60% mechanical keyboard. If you use other products, I cannot guarantee the fit will be perfect. Here are links to the screen and the keyboard:

This case was also create to house a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, however, there’s plenty of room inside the case, making it easy to modify for other uses or components if needed.
