Long time no post. Got a Black and Decker Drill Powered Band Saw for 25 Canadian with a thicker wood blade, a thick metal/wood blade (so missing the thin metal blade), a spare drill, and a random mitre gauge for some unknown tool. Pictured is my first try at turning since highschool using my small drill powered lathe. I have decided that yes, I do indeed need to go acquire proper turning chisels, but that this technically functions (I used 3 just standard flat chisels for this in 3 sizes)

Tool case for the hammer drill I use at work. We were keeping it in its cardboard box, but that was starting to fall apart and wasn’t long enough to hold the drill bits that we use.

Dados in side panels and dry fitting with top and bottom panels before glue up.

The lid was then separated from the box by running all 4 sides on the table saw.

The dividers were made with interlocking plywood sections which were dado’d, glued, and brad nailed together, and then located into the box.

Cabinet hinges were installed on the lid with a kreg jig. The support piece was milled to a thickness that matched the depth of the lid so it fit perfectly.

Finished case lined with cardboard as padding for the tool and accessories! Questions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome!

The Best Woodworking Tools To Buy At Auction

Woodworking tools can be a significant investment, and woodworking auctions offer an excellent opportunity to acquire high-quality equipment at a fraction of retail prices. To make the most of this opportunity, it's important to know which tools are worth bidding on and why. Here��s a guide to the best woodworking tools to buy at auction.

1. Table Saws

Table saws are a staple in any woodworking shop, known for their precision and versatility. Auctions often feature both contractor-grade and industrial table saws, which can handle large projects with ease. Look for models with sturdy fences, accurate miter gauges, and robust motors. Older, well-maintained saws often outperform newer, lower-grade alternatives, making them a valuable find at auctions.

2. Planers and Jointers

For anyone working with raw lumber, planers and jointers are indispensable. They ensure that boards are smooth and straight, critical for creating high-quality finished products. When inspecting these tools at an auction, check for flat, unmarred surfaces and functional blades. Avoid machines with excessive rust or misaligned components, as repairs may outweigh the initial savings.

3. Band Saws

Band saws are perfect for intricate cuts, curves, and resawing tasks. Older models tend to have durable cast iron frames and powerful motors, making them excellent auction finds. Check for even blade tension and smooth operation. Accessories like rip fences or extra blades can also add significant value to your purchase.

4. Drill Presses

A drill press is a versatile tool for precision drilling, mortising, and even sanding. Industrial-grade drill presses, often found at auctions, provide greater stability and power compared to bench-top models. Inspect for smooth spindle movement, a stable base, and any included attachments like mortising chisels or sanding drums.

5. Sanders

Wide belt sanders, drum sanders, and oscillating spindle sanders are often found at woodworking auctions. These tools save time and provide consistent finishes, making them invaluable for professionals and hobbyists alike. Ensure that sanding belts or drums are readily available for the model you’re considering, and avoid heavily worn equipment that shows signs of uneven wear or overheating.

6. Routers and Router Tables

Routers are essential for detailed edgework, joinery, and shaping tasks. Router tables enhance the tool's functionality, providing stability and precision. When purchasing routers at auction, test the motor for consistent speed and check that the base and attachments are intact. Router tables should be flat and come with adjustable fences and dust collection ports.

7. Clamps and Vises

High-quality clamps and vises are critical for securing workpieces during cutting, gluing, or sanding. Auctions often feature these items in lots, allowing you to stock up at a lower cost. Look for sturdy metal construction and ensure all moving parts operate smoothly.

8. Hand Tools

Chisels, planes, and carving tools are frequently available at auctions and can be true treasures if they’re well-cared for. Vintage hand tools are particularly desirable due to their craftsmanship and durability. Look for sharp edges, ergonomic handles, and minimal rust.

Final Tips

When attending woodworking auctions, arrive early to inspect items closely. Bring a checklist of the tools you need, and set a budget to avoid overbidding. With careful selection, you can acquire top-tier woodworking tools that will last for years, all while saving money.

DIY Wood Shed: What You Need to Know Before Starting

Building a DIY wood shed can be a rewarding project for any homeowner looking to add extra storage space to their property. However, before starting on this project, there are a few important things to consider to ensure success. First and foremost, it's crucial to have a solid plan in place before beginning any construction. This includes determining the size and location of the shed, as well as gathering all necessary materials and tools. Taking the time to carefully plan out the project will help to avoid any potential setbacks or mistakes along the way.

Another key consideration before starting a DIY wood shed project is to have a good understanding of the building codes and regulations in your area. Different municipalities may have specific requirements for sheds, such as size restrictions or setback distances from property lines. Failing to adhere to these regulations could result in fines or even having to tear down the shed altogether. It's important to do thorough research and obtain any necessary permits before proceeding with construction to ensure compliance with local laws.

Lastly, it's essential to have the necessary skills and experience to complete a DIY wood shed project successfully. While constructing a shed may seem like a straightforward task, it requires a certain level of carpentry knowledge and skill. If you're not familiar with building structures or using power tools, it may be wise to consult with a professional or take a woodworking class before starting the project. By doing so, you can ensure that your wood shed is built to last and meets all safety standards. In conclusion, with careful planning, adherence to building codes, and the right skills, anyone can successfully build a DIY wood shed and enjoy the benefits of extra storage space on their property.

Plot twist: Back on my bullshit

So I found more drill powered tools, for decently cheap, this time for some rarer ones! A small 5 and some change inch blade circular saw, and a half sheet sander, both drill powered, both used by the guy in his condo so you know they work. The half sheet sander is decently uncommon but not quite rare, but having a circular saw with guard like this is *rare*. Almost all drill powered circ saws are a loose blade with adapter, no guard, and super unsafe, so this is a rare rare find! On Monday I should be picking up a extremely cheap drill-powered jigsaw, and a nice model at that, if all goes to plan. Going to bring my total of drill powered tools to:

Owned hand drill powered: Drill press (old, cast iron, hard/$ to ship, medium rare), lathe (new, rare), disk sander (new), half sheet sander (old, box, medium rare), circular saw (old, rare rare if with guard), paint mixer (new)

I want drill powered: Electric grinder/sharpener (chinese ones have no toolrest, but can get one there easy, also home depot), jigsaw (hopefully monday, medium rare), oscillating disk sander (never seen one online, may not exist), buffing wheel (either china or bulk set), better drill lathe (old preferably), router (never seen, may not exist), reciprocating saw (rare), original home utility line stand (likely as part of a bulk set buy)

But, as of right now/monday, I have a nearly complete set, even with some newer bits, or I could get one quick with a couple chinese buys :3 I already have some of the rare ones, so super pleased/excited with how this set's evolving :3

Sunday woodworking with my daughter to make a birdfeeder inspired by @fischotterkunst :

Mock up with suet holder with the placement of the ends and sides. The bandsaw was used to cut out the ends, and then the end pieces were used to set the jointer to make the sides match the angle of the roofline.

The feeder was assembled with an air powered brad nailer, much faster and cleaner than screws.

I am especially proud of how the roof panels came together. This reinforces that woodworking isn’t about getting exact measurements, it is about relative measurements. The peak of the end was used to set the jointer so that the roof panels would match up. The actual angle doesn’t matter, it is using the parts for the setup of the tool that does. (I really should have a picture of that and I may mock it up later for another post)

Here’s the block holder as it sits inside the feeder. It was too dark to get a photo of it hanging outside, so I’ll amend this post tomorrow.

Here’s to more avian visitors!

7 Tips to Avoid Wasting Money with DIY Woodworking Projects

Saving money with DIY WOOD PROJECTS is not only possible but also incredibly rewarding. Here are 7 tips to help you get the most out of your woodworking endeavors:

1. Use Reclaimed or Repurposed Wood

One of the best ways to save money on woodworking projects is to use reclaimed or repurposed wood. You can often find old pallets, scrap wood, or even furniture pieces that can be taken apart and used for new projects. This approach saves you money, reduces waste, and gives the wood a new life.

2. Buy in Bulk

If you have a specific project in mind that requires a lot of wood, consider buying your materials in bulk. Many home improvement stores offer discounts for buying larger quantities of wood. This can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.

3. DIY Your Own Furniture

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on new furniture pieces, consider making your own. There are plenty of DIY WOODWORKING PROJECT PLANS available online for everything from coffee tables to bed frames. Not only will you save money, but you'll also have a one-of-a-kind piece that you can be proud of.

4. Take Your Time

Rushing through a project can lead to costly mistakes that could have easily been avoided with proper planning. Take the time to measure twice and cut once to prevent having to buy more materials.

5. Invest in Quality Tools

While it may seem counterintuitive to spend money on tools, investing in quality equipment can actually save you money in the long run. High-quality tools are less likely to break or need replacing, which means you won't have to constantly buy new ones. Plus, they'll make your projects easier and more professional-looking.

6. Sell Your Creations

Once you've mastered the art of DIY woodworking, consider selling your creations to make some extra money. Whether you set up an online shop or attend local craft fairs, there are plenty of ways to turn your hobby into a profitable venture.

7. Start with Simple Projects

Beginner-friendly projects like simple shelves, picture frames, birdhouses, and small tables are easy to complete with basic tools and materials. These projects help build your skills and confidence, making it easier to tackle more complex projects in the future.

Conclusion
