Step 2Materials
As part of the challenge, the goal of this project was to use only scrap materials, so obviously your list will be different. (That's part of the fun!)
Some things you'll definitely need:
1) A coping saw where the blade attaches with pins. In case you don't have one, I originally got mine for like $5 from here.
2) A drill of some kind. Mine was a cordless Makita I found at a thrift store for $10. Score!
3) A stout steel bar. Mine is about a 1/4 inch diameter stainless bar that was salvaged from an dead printer.
5) A couple pieces of hardwood. I had a 1x4 oak board left over from a cabinet project.
6) Some long bolts
Other items of interest::
1) Assorted scrap plywood and 2x4 ends.
2) A fist full of grabber screws.
3) Some rope, a heavy spring, or a turnbuckle (for blade tension)
4) Something for feet. Like maybe some appliance feet, old shoe rubber, or I just used some sidewall from an old tire.
5) A few assorted metal bits. Nothing fancy. I've got a metal frame piece out of a VCR and a short piece of steel plumbers' tape in mine.
Tools:
This project can be made with simple hand tools. In fact, the coping saw and drill above provides 90% of everything you need.
