Very cool! This technique seems worth adding to people's design toolbox. (See additional info in the thread.)

In my home workshop, I have clunky earmuffs for noise protection. Good enough. But recently I was on the road and cutting wood on a table saw. Very loud! The easiest solution: my Sennheiser noise-cancelling headset that I used on the airplane flight down. Overkill but quite…

An old post but looks like a cool tool. Putting a new wire through existing walls isn't easy. Klein is likely just a reseller, e.g. looks the same as amzn.to/44a4Oc5

On a recent project, we mostly used the shop vac directly attached to the table saw, so planned to use the sawdust in the garden. But without planning ahead, also vacuumed the shop floor -- perhaps including a stray screw or two. Tip: instead of dumping directly, dump through a…

Another small spinning screwdriver but with custom bits rather than standard 1/4" hex. Kickstarter listing shows Hong Kong; design patent application is from elsewhere in China. kickstarter.com/projects/goldf…

Art? Spinner toy? Useful tool? All 3? kickstarter.com/projects/malbo… I report, you decide.

To @KennethCassel: thanks to RMFG staff for adding 14ga galvanized on request. It's a good size for brackets / braces and such, so I assume will also be selected by future customers. Also for deburring small parts. The other 'on demand' provider I used was fine in general but…

With all the time people sit at a desk, ergonomics matter! I built my own desk, have a custom setup for my chair, etc. -- but for most people it's easier to adapt to what's provided. This might help: kickstarter.com/projects/32146… Set your chair height to fit your desk and keyboard.…

I recently filled a Ryobi shop vac a few times pulling sawdust from the table saw. It's a bit of a hassle to empty, e.g. the filter sits precariously on a ring at the bottom, and takes some time to tap the sawdust off. Too bad I didn't know about the Duststopper -- Made in USA!…

Very cool project, with 7 days remaining at kickstarter.com/projects/pairo… Common workflow: load heavy stuff onto a cart, wheel it to your truck, individually move heavy stuff from cart to truck ... drive to the job site (maybe home) ... then repeat. Some freight companies solve the…

Next review: miter saw. Also Ryobi. We had some 2x12 to cut, so chose the 'sliding' version. Of course that takes some extra space, but totally worthwhile. The sawdust catcher bag is useful, but dumb that the outlet size is both smaller than the Ryobi shop vac's hose and…

Mini review of a table saw: Recently helped someone set up a small home workshop. On a budget and very modest needs. They already have some Ryobi tools. Started with a 10" table saw, with stand. Great deal at $229. 12" rip cut was mostly good enough. One thing slowed us down:…

Created a sheet-metal part that others might find useful? Or want to see if someone else's creation fits your needs? Check out the new @sendcutsend Marketplace (all Made in USA). For example: an M12 Tool Hanger marketplace.sendcutsend.com/p/CF28P877/m12…

Another outdoor tool. The small garden carts are nice, but not very big. There are medium-sized trailers for riding mowers -- but sometimes the mower is overkill. A 'trailor dolly' like amzn.to/3GUxqhN is mostly used for a boat, motorcycle, snowmobile etc. -- but works…
