The shooting bench is a popular hunting accessory and is great for hunting. This project will inform you on how to make this shooting bench which is easy to build and won’t cost you a fortune. You can also add a gun rest or even your own logo. Making a shooting bench isn’t hard ...
I’ll probably go with Daniel’s suggestion for Birchwood Casey gun stock finish and gun stock wax. They’re inexpensive, come in small bottles, and are easy to order off Amazon. I suspect a single bottle of each would be good enough for many more ukuleles than I’m likely to build....
I drilled using increasing bit sizes until I got to a 7/16" bit. It would have been helpful to put the fob in a vise to keep the "box" from separating and making the hole easier to size.
I use a mixture of tools for working aluminum but rely mainly on hacksaws and files. Aluminum flat stock forms easily in a vise using your hands, and a medium size hammer directed at the spot you want to form helps the aluminum "remember" the shape you have it in. When I need precis...
I had a couple of other crazy ideas I did not pursue. One was to drill and tap those V-blocks so I could bolt the blate down to them. That probably would have worked out well. Another was to build some special "plate clamping" vise jaws in aluminum. These jaws would have faces al...
Once all the pressurized air has escaped, place the can in a vise and saw around the neck of the can. This will separate the can into the lower housing and the upper nozzle. Keep the upper nozzle and tip out the glass marble found inside the can housing, you can discard the can hous...
Step 2: Mount Your Jigsaw in a Vise For this crosscut sled, the jigsaw is meant to be used upside down, and the easiest way to achieve that is to mount it in a bench vise. The handle part of my jigsaw is pretty tough, but if yours isn't you might want to make thesehomemade ...
If you're only doing wedges (esp. forged), you could get by with a club gauge (or even just a loft/lie protractor), a vise, and a rubber mallet. That's not a bad way to start. Whacking stuff can be quite fun! Next is a swingweight scale. If you're going to grind (I don...
We mounted a Zyliss vise (now called Z-Vise) to the second work-bench. These things are a marvel of engineering. If you can find one on eBay or at a yard sale, it’s worth every penny. It clamps to the workbench and accessories convert it into a miniature work center Getting Started...
