Works great on the table saw, little to no dust. Thicknesser is proving to be more difficult. I would say 25% went on the floorhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/82.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/83.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/07/84.jpg

Looks like a butchers shop [emoji23]
I'm sure it's a big improvement though!
This thing is so good, but I had never heard of it, before.

I reckon you would have to make all sides this way and build the model then measure and or use a sliding bevel to get the 3D angles.Quote:

I was thinking about this, and came up with a solution for 3D. If you could get an old transistor radio extendable antenna, you could mount it on the tick stick. When you make the base outline, swivel and extend the antenna to the 3D point. Measure the angle and length and write it in that traced outline. Simples.Quote:

Made out of 20mm x 20mm repurposed square tube and repurposed casters.
The goal was to be able to fit my very first tool box given to me by my old man when I was around 15 y.o., maybe less.

The only new material in this are the 16ga carbon steel trays that I had cut and bent from the steel market.
Attachment 84543 Attachment 84542
After some filing, the trays felt properly through the frame.

Now I need to get myself some socket holders/organizers and make some pliers and screwdriver hangers out of angle steel.
I have more drill chuck keys than I do drills. So many random ones collected by my grandfather and father.
So I made a D shackle chuck key today.

Interesting... When those give me trouble I have to go search for pliers on the tool bag. Yours is small so it can be left on the glove box or some other quick access spot.
Nice work! Im more amazed that you have tiles in your garage! Unheard of here in OZ.Quote:

Tiles are heavy duty type, meant for severe usage like public spaces where a lot of people would go over them daily. But not HD such that I can drop a brake caliper without crackng it (didn´t pass that quality control test when I dropped one). But as for the trolley jack, I have replaced the solid steel wheels for poly wheels the day I got it, so I could be more comfortable dragging it over the tiles.Quote:
