Hand (made) Tools

2122
10

This is what I have done so far in making my own tools. I have received a lot of inspiration from several of you. Thanks to you all.
Center finder and magnet holder for the dial indicator.

Marking gauges on the 1000 year old bench hook.

Wackers of different sizes.

Knives, my favorite,



Planes, planes and the little Lego plane. Also a home made square.

Great sanding blocks. Great design Mads. The two wedges to regulate the tension of the belt is just genius.

And of course my trusty leg vise.

Enjoy watching.

Nice collection. My favourites are the Japanese planes and the little destroyer wheel on the leg vice. ….. a sailorly touch…

Making your own tools makes them very special. The grandkids are certain to want to inherit them.

Quite a nice collection of handmade tools. The half dozen Thor hammers caught my attentions.

I’m glad you were able to regain your composure and post your tools.
I like the planes, one of these days I would like to try making a few.

Hand made is the best. Making the tools to make your stuff is even better. Beautiful collection.
