HOME MADE TOOLS AND JIGS

[John W EParticipant @johnwe]

Hi there everyone

 

Do you have a favourite home made tool/jig that you always end up going back too to use?

 

I made 2 sanding boards up – years ago – I made them from some scrap pieces of plywood. 

 

 One of them I covered with double sided tape; which the carpet fitters use; and, then, on top of that I stuck a medium grade sandpaper.    I always find this board useful for sanding items flat such as white metal/resin fittings which require a flat surface.

 

The other board I made (also years ago) was one which I use for squaring materials up; in other words 2 faces at right angles to each other.   This once again, I made from plywood – it has a vertical piece of plywood glued to the long edge of the base plywood – and this vertical edge is also covered with double sided tape – and then an abrasive paper stuck to it.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has made their own tools/jigs which they find exceptionally useful and would like to share their ideas with all of us???
