I'm unboxing and trying out the Kreg® 20V Ionic Drive™ Barrel Grip Jigsaw. It has a great feel with the barrel grip design. This has dual LEDs and a built in dust blower to keep things easy to see. It also has variable speed and an automatic mode, along with four orbital settings for different

I just got the Microjig Bladeclean system and it is amazing to be able to clean a saw blade in a couple minutes. If I can clean my saw blades this fast then I will probably be cleaning my blades more often. This is great on saw blades, but you can even clean router bits in the compartment on the

Here’s a quick video of installing the kaizen foam and tools in the tool box. The OneFinity CNC did a great job on this. Save on your Onefinity order with my link or referral code "makingathome" https://www.onefinitycnc.com/?ref=makingathome #cnc #carving #cncbits #kaizen

Now that the carving is completed I vacuumed out all of the loose bits of foam so I can check all of the tools to make sure the pockets for them are deep enough. With everything fitting nicely I can take the foam off of the CNC bed and move it to the toolbox drawer. Save on your Onefinity order

I did the full carving of the toolbox kaizen foam tray and it turned out great. The tool paths were created in Vetric VCarve Pro. The foam cutting bit I used can be found at this Amazon associate link: https://amzn.to/4gousxR The foam I used can be found at these Amazon associate links: 30

PRIME DAY DEAL I added a couple Bessey 18” KBody parallel clamps to the Bessey clamp wall today. It’s great to have a few more of these since they make glue ups so nice to do. Here is an Amazon affiliate link if you are interested in seeing the details: https://amzn.to/487oJu7 @besseytoo

Here is a look at the tape roll holders that add some more organization to my shop. I added an optional shelf to these so that you can create a flat storage shelf as well. The shelf even stores on the tapeholder when you’re just using it for rolls. #tape #organizing #shelves #storage

Gorilla Made asked me to try out their 18 foot multi-position ladders on some projects around the house. This one has a 300 pound rating which is more than adequate for me at 200 pounds. You can find it at Home Depot at the following link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-Ladders-18-ft-Reach

Tonight I’m unboxing and testing some material on the Laserpecker LP5 laser. This is a 20 watt fiber and 20 watt diode laser so you can engrave different woods and metals. It’s quite the flexible system that can handle a variety of materials and is super portable. This laser works with Lightburn o

I wanted to get one of these Temple Tools bent neck chisels since they announced them so I kept an eye on their website and ordered one as soon as they were available. This chisel is a thing of beauty. Can't wait to put it to use on some upcoming projects. Their website can be found at: h

Here are a couple more options for using the Low Profile Clamps from Bow Products on your CNC or work table. You can use a screw adapter to screw the low profile clamp directly to the workbench or CNC waste board. You can also use bolts if you have threaded inserts in your waste board. Very simp

I just got the new Sidekick speaker from Isotunes. This little speaker packs a punch in a small package. It's obviously built tough and has up to 20 hours of battery life. The 80-lumen light has three settings and I love that it charges with USB-C. The magnetic clip is stronger than expected an

Today I am rough cutting a charcuterie board outline out of this piece of walnut on the Harvey Ambassador C14 bandsaw. It doesn’t take long to get this piece of wood ready to go. Next I’ll finish cutting this out on the router with the template and a flush trim bit. #bandsaw #tools #saw

Trying out the SawStop Revolution miter gauge. Once I dialed it in, I thought I would try something a little different like cutting the pieces for a pentagon. So 360 degrees over 5 miters divided by 2 = 36 degrees. I changed the miter gauge adjustment to 1 degree increments and then rotated

Every shop needs to be able to make accurate measurements. With a digital caliper you can measure to the 1/1000th of an inch. The display of n this one is digital and the numbers are large so no misreading the numbers. You can measure the outside of something, the depth of a hole, inner diameter

I'm rounding over the edges on this cherry Millennium Falcon catch all tray using a 1/4" roundover bit on the SawStop router table. It really cleans up the edge and gives it a much nicer feel. Then I'm using the Surfprep 3"x4" ProFoam sanding pads to clean up all of the surfa

How about a look at some of the features of the Tyton Pro-Trac from Swan Tool Group. This unique tool lets you mark different angles, along with nice 90 degree lines. The holes offset at 1/2 allow for convenient parallel line marking. If your make doesn't line up you just rotate the upper

I used the Bambu Labs P1S printer to make this Batman mask for out little crime fighter Stella the miniature dachshund. It looks like Bat Dog needs a nap before fighting crime. #batman #3dprinting #printing #mask #batdog

Here is the first large two piece print off of the Bambu P1S printer. Bonus points if you can tell me what it is. I am planning to glue these together with Starbond CA glue. Any advice you have on the best way to hold these pieces together when gluing would be greatly appreciated as they slid

Tonight I'm taking the Vac-Plate & Puc Workholding Kit from Swan Tool Group for a spin. I'm using it on my CNC table since I use that a lot for things in the shop. This comes with a Vac Plate to attach to your Grabo lifting tool that connects via vacuum tubes to one or two of the includ
