Last year I made a zero height table-saw sled. See ua-cam.com/video/Fwk4Lv5JnWU/v-deo.html However, there was a glaring omission, which I correct in this video.

There are many jigs out there to help you grind and hone chisels and plane blades. There are problems with all of them- they need ultra precise setting, or they do not allow use of all the stone, or they are difficult to set up, are not accurate... This is my take on a jig that, I believe, solves all these problems. Although I am using bearings, it could be built with simple brass sleeves, and ...

You can buy tools, you can refurbish tools- and you can make tools. It can be very satisfying to make something that exactly meets your needs- and saves you money. When I built my Studleyesque tool chest, I made some of the tools; here are a couple of them.

I have had a Unimat lathe for many years- always a bit underpowered- until now! Many small machine tools can be improved with a heart transplant...

Struggling to mark out dovetails and then cut them? Or cannot be bothered to follow all those steps needed? This simple jig means no more marking out the tails-just mark the depth and where you want them and this does the rest.

The last in my not-the-studley tool chest series. I show the contents, and how it all goes together. Why not make your own? Let me know what you think below.

My series documenting the building of my 'Studley' provincial version, the 'Dudley' tool chest reaches the point of filling it with tools. The design language' of ebony holders decorated with mother of pearl continues, with abalone and tortoiseshell embellishment.

Today I discuss something that is a genuine puzzle to me- can you explain? If you have any ideas, please comment below!

I finally reach the point of loading my tool chest with tools. It is a jigsaw- but without a picture, in 3D, where you get to make some of the pieces yourself. I highly recommend it!

I used a 'shawn shim' while making my tool chest- and realized it can be improved. In this video I show how to make a better shim, without needing machine tools to do it. If you ever make dovetails, this is something that will help.

I continue with my Studley style tool chest. With the case made (see previous videos) I can start making totally unnecessarily complicated internals, starting with the drawers.

In my last video (see ua-cam.com/video/8cu2Qo9Uf7k/v-deo.html) I built the case for my provincial version of the Studley tool chest- the Dudley tool chest. This time I make the furniture to turn it into a functioning chest- the door catches and front lock.

Drool over the Studley tool chest? Yes, me too! Now that I am doing a lot more hand wood-working, I need to store more hand tools. A tool chest would be nice... I may not have the skills of W O Studley (or access to ivory, as he did) but I can make an attempt. A 'provincial' version perhaps- not a Studley, but a Dudley...

There are several tools and jigs for woodwork that are easy metalwork projects. Here I make four of them.
