    Default 5 min saw clamp (so far)

    Picked up this cupboard door and hinged attachment off the side of the road. It took my eye because it has a piano hinge along its length.



    A run thru the bandsaw to even up the leaves and a little planing to make it nice, add some chamfers and done. 5 minutes I reckon!



    There are some limitations to its use of course, you can't make something this simple and expect it to be a deluxe model. I can see myself making modifications over time, will keep posting as I do.

    Default what I did next

    Down to Bunnies for some of these;



    Nylon tri-wheels, or, knobs with nuts. And some bolts to fit.

    Then I traced the outline of my biggest saw blade (not the best, as you can see) and marked and drilled the positions of where I reckoned they would best go.



    Then add a saw blade and ready to go. The biggest limitation is needing to remove the handle. I can live with that for the time being, most of my saws need that anyway.



    Another 10 mins I reckon.

    It reminds me of another model I've seen somewhere .

    Nice improvisation.

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so they say.
