OK, mine aren't pretty or sophisticated, but they get the job done.

Magnetic vice pads.

 

Spine tester

 

Feather burner

 

Endless loop string making jig.  Very adjustable and I can pre-stretch the string with it.

Use the rare earth magnets.  They are tiny, but very powerful.

here is a pic of my lam grinder.  I used mdf board to build the box and a piece of ash for the sled.

 

 

 

 

Then you take your belt sander and aim it up.. put it in the box and Volaaah...

 

I have gone paper thin before (sure, it was not on purpose, but really cool!)

Anyone ever made a Drum sander with an old furnace motor? If so could you send me some info on how to do so? I had to replace the one in our furnace last winter and while waiting for the new one to get in, the guy at the hardware store rebuilt my old one and it still works pretty good. Definately good enough to use for a sander. Not well enough to depend on for keeping the pipes thawed,lol.

That should definitely give you some good ideas while listening to 94.5 the moose! Man that station plays a lot of commercials...

Here is my shaving horse.  Made from rough spruce I bought from the local do-it store for about $20.

I will post a pic of my string jig later.



I, Nephi, did make out of wood a bow, and out of a straight stick, an arrow and did go forth up into the top of the mountain and did obtain food for our families and they did humble themselves before the Lord, and did give thanks unto him. 1 Nephi 16
