WARNING: It's a 'Rabbit Hole' once you get started although as a woodworker you will already have most of the tools to get started.
Laser cut some clear acrylic trays for my recent coffee station, acrylic is not very forgiving, got the thickness slightly wrong and cracked/snapped a few bits trying to force them together ha, but they are holding with no glue so far. Did plan on using superglue but ran out.
No matter where I place my bandsaw I always end up walking into the fence rail.
I had no tennis balls to stick on the end so printed one haha, sadly I had no TPU filament so it's still pretty hard, but it's at least rounded now.

This was quite a fun little project, small laser cut stand for some fake plants to add a bit of interest to my floating console. Made from various scraps of acrylic, including some galaxy acrylic I found.
This dust hose for drill press works better than I expected, I had to use some blue tape to make the mount fit the pillar even when using the remixed file.

A slap-it-off paddle for my ancient table saw. My Elektra Bekum table saw just has two 15mm buttons to turn it on or off. I want an off switch actuator that is more readily available, the sort where you don't have to find when something goes wrong or you can operate with your knee. Designed from scratch using Designspark Mechanical. Two parts: a black mounting plate screwed to the saw frame and the red paddle. Thinking about filling the STOP recessed into the front with a contrasting colour but I guess it'll be a round-twoit job.

Great! Have you the files available for this please?

I can certainly send them to you. PM me please. I'll enclose a 3D printed guide for drilling the holes in the machine. You'll also have to source a short length (36mm) of rod to act as the hinge.
What a great idea!!
Something I've been thinking of doing for a while now.
You've given me the kick up the buttocks to get it done.
Nice one

This might be the simplest thing I've cut on my laser cutter, but it was super handy.
Recently made a mini mortising jig however I was having trouble centering it on my work peice. So I made a cut out that was the exact size of the opening in the jig with a centre line scored.
