Belt clamps - what a find!
While looking through the ScrewFix (UK) website recently, I found this little gem of a tool that I’ve purchased and used a couple of times now (see photo - left). They refer to it as a “belt clamp” so should be easy to track down should you want one too.
This is an amazing little device for its cost and I cannot speak highly enough of it. I get no payback for listing this, I just think that for cabinet construction this tool is absolutely great. In fact I bought a couple of them as I build speakers and other types of cabinet quite frequently.
Hand-built router table for the workshop
Over the years, I’ve done my fair share of wood and metal work, including quite a lot of router work. For some tasks, I think a good router table is really needed, so I’ve took a bit of time out from my other projects to build a good router table.
After much looking around, I came up with a hybrid, based partly on this multipurpose table in a youtube video and party on a book I’ve been reading on kindle Complete Guide to Routers by Lonnie Bird. I’m not going to describe the basics of building the table here, the above youtube video will show you all that you need to know, and if you need more, the above book if very good, and covers usage of the tool too.
