Making My Own Tools

I thought I would have a go at making my own tool. I am making a stop for a ruler.

Great little project, and useful too.
Not sure about the screwdriver as a table saw push stick though it would make a mess of the driver, the saw blade and you if you slipped!!!

[grahambleach]

Looks great. I might adapt that for my wheel dish gauge (it’s a bike wheel building tool).

That's a very handy tool to have Matt and using the brass gives it a nice old school look.

[garyclifton]

Very nice tool yes you can buy them but as you said you like the old effect good job

[Pete.Ty]

👍👍👍 Its really satisfying to make your own tools. Thanks Matt

[BrainFizz]

Instead I for buying seperate brass rod, threaded inserts and knurled knobs, you can use just simple brass screws and file off the heads and points as required, they’ll also hold the parts together better than a rod and CA glue.

Hi Matt, that was a absolutely brilliant idea, you certainly are an ideas person, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia

Lovely bit of jiggery! Satisfying little project. 👌

[dougsaunders]

Sanding with fine grit might take longer but you stay warmer 😁.
Nice looking and practical 👍🏻

[MCsCreations]

Beautiful, Matt! Amazing work! 😃
I don't know why, but those little projects seem to be the most satisfying ones to make!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Absolutely lovely looking and knowing you made it yourself, top job, going to make one myself 👍👍

[mikedeman]

That is a really nice piece of work. The sepele and brass look great :)

[c.a.g.]

smart solution to make that channel fit really tight, Matt! Well done!

[julianugentarchitect]

Could you add a brass wear plate to the ends? I suppose you’d have to glue onto the wood before sanding the notch.

[redsworkshopuk]

Hi Matt, do you have a link to the brass inserts?. Love the channel.

Looks great! Reminds me of my old mortise gauge
