Power Tools & Accessories

I really enjoy making tools and tool accessories that I can then use on other projects. I've split the tools I've made into two sections of this site. Ones that are designed to help me with power tool woodworking are in this area and you can find ones that are designed to help me with hand tool woodworking at this link.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.

This website is free and ad-free, but costs me money to run. If you'd like to support this site, please consider making a small donation or sending me a message to let me know what you liked or found useful.

Please do get in touch if you notice any issues on the site or can think of anything that would be a helpful addition or improvement.
