CNC_Pendant
It’s actually a second version, I have been working with a temporary prototype for a while and here is the final version.
This is used to send motion commands to the CNC controller software, it actually is a USB keyboard, and it sends key strokes to the software, which needs to be configured accordingly to trigger the desired moves.
Vacuum press system
Here is my vacuum pressing system:
Adjustable spacer for woodworking vise with parallel jaws
When you have a wood vise such as this one:
Horizontal clamp with low profile for the bench top
I have for a while installed a retractable claw stopper at the end of my workbench (see images below).
Frame saw
Wheel marking gauge
Safety switch
Router Lift mechanism
Pneumatic engraving machine
Connected Smart Tool Box
Metal Working - Tooling
When I was a high school student, then later a student engineer, I spent many hours in the shop class where I learned the basics of metal turning and milling.
Bone Ring
Pewter inlaying
Making a woodwind key
Long holes boring
Tapered Reamers
Manual feeder blocks for table saw
There are many kinds of push sticks or blocks for the table saw, but we have seen appearing from the US a new kind of model, which certainly brings inovation on that topic, it is the GRR-Ripper from Micro Jig. 
Tenoning Jig
Here is a tenoning jig for the table saw.
Engraver bowl vice
Cordless drill corded
Disk Sander
Router plane
Spokeshave
Here is a spokeshave I have built.
Tenon saw
Here is a tenon saw for which I have made the carved handle, in a similar way as what did the great UK and US pre-war makers.
Thickness Punch
Here is a tool not so common, originally designed for instrument making, but that can also be used for any kind of precise woodworking.
Thickness Gauge
This is a tool for thickness calibrating, with good accuracy. It is mostly used for setting up any kind of tools having a depth stop, like the drill press or the thickness punch.
Centering calipers
I must give credit to Rick Sparber for the tool I’m presenting here. He published the idea of it on the [homemadetools.net](http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/self-centering- scribe-8482) forum.
Purfling chisel
Here is a simple way to make a little chisel that aim at carving a groove for purfling inlaying.
Toothed blades
Highly figured woods like curly maple or some burled woods are very difficult to work.
Thumb planes
My personal build of thumb planes.
Funny enough, thumb plane translates “rabeau noisette” in French, which means
hazelnut
plane.
A two handed gouge
For rough carving the top or back of a violin, or any other archtop instrument like the mandolin or jazz guitar, there are several possible methods. The fans of power tools may use a rooter to do so, but the true amateur of the “wood feeling” will by far prefer to use the gouge.
Purfling cutter
The purfling cutter or scriber is a tool that allows scoring or cutting the thin groove that will fit the purfling on a top or back of a violin, as well as on the edge of top, back and sides of string instruments like the guitar or the mandolin. The tool allows scribing this groove parallel to the edge of the top or back.
