    How about a home built or cheap tool modification thread?

     



    Show us your answers for purpose built home made tools. How about that cheap HF tool modified to actually function the way the tool was designed. Example, I made a sheet metal brake, purchased a metal ban saw modified it so it would make good clean cuts and not tip over when moved, you know the one.

    Upload pictures of your tools, could give others ideas of how to solve shop problems. Sometimes cheap tools have the necessary functioning parts but lack the sturdiness to produce repeated clean accurate cuts or bends, how did you fix that ?

    Some, one time problem solver tools. I've seen some really good off the cuff tools over the years, only stipulation they must be safe to use .
