   If sanding on your lathe is making lots of dust in your shop, our new Lathe Dust Collector and your dust collection machine will cure that problem!
   The Lathe Dust Collector plan is easy to build - often from scraps mostly - and is very effective because it is free-standing. That way the size of the shroud can be kept at effective dimensions and the whole unit moved to where you are sanding. (Actually, close is all that's needed!)
   The Lathe Dust Collector Plan costs only $2.95!

   Cutting accurate miters can be difficult; using a purpose-built jig makes it much easier. Since the vast majority of the miters we cut in home woodworking shops are 45-degrees, this one sled will handle most of your miter needs.

   Since seeing a version of this jig over 15 years ago, I have been modifying it, trying to make it easier to use, and more versatile. This is the result.
   This jig lets you cut perfectly-sized dados without measuring stock width. You can cut 90-degree, angled, and non-parallel dados, all with a plain router and a 1/2"-diameter, flat-bottomed bit. Also, the Options section of the Instructions describe how to build this jig to use other sized bits. No guides, bushings or special baseplate's. You can even half-lap those tough-to-do X-braces on projects like open shelf units!

   This shop cabinet is one of the most useful things I have built. All of us have to make full use of the available space in our shops, including the walls. This cabinet not only provides enclosed storage, it has an open cubby for jigs, patterns and such items and the top can be used to store more things we need to get out of the way.
    The clamp rack across the bottom may be the biggest help around the shop. My 3'-long (and shorter) pipe clamps now have a real home. I know where they are, and they no longer clutter up the corner where they once stood.
    This project may appear challenging, but really it is not. This plan set features six full pages of CAD drawings that make understanding each step easy. Take it one step at a time and you will end up with a very useful addition to your shop!
