Thanks a lot Jon! Yeah the Grinder and those belts have been a real game changer for me!Cheers

Hi, thanks a lot for reading! To be honest I wasn't quite sure if I should go as sharp as I did. In the end I thought that I would regret it later if I left the blade dull. Since I do not intend to use it for proper chopping anyways I figured I could give it a go.As for the milk carton, that sounds like it could work!Make sure you share a pic of your restored cleaver once you're done with it!CheersAlex

Really nice work! I had pretty much the same idea for some time but you beat me to it ;) Well there are plenty of other comic items that are waiting to be made real .You should enter this Instructable in the woodworking contest!

Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed this and look forward to some more resto projects! I got plenty of hammers, files etc. to work with so it shouldn't get boring.

Thanks a lot! I actually played with the idea to modify the shape to make something else from it but then decided to keep as original as possible.

Thanks a lot for reading! I'm glad you found this Instructable useful! You should share how you are organizing your various tools!All the best!Alex

:D hahaha that was great! I remember when my shop was like that, I just couldn't motivate to do anything in there. Now with the new organization it's just going in there and get to work right away. I look forward to see how you improve your shop!

Hi,thanks a lot reading all the way through :DThe hangers for the angle grinders are pretty much pre-fabricated hooks mounted on a base and cleat.As for the magnet strips: I've been using this setup (not mounted on a french cleat wall though) for over two years without problems. I make sure that I clean the files with a file card after every use and before putting them back on the magnet strip. There a of course a few metal shavings but nothing to worry about. Have a great weekend!

Hi,I liked the write up and your video. The overall design gave me some ideas for a jig for my angle grinder.I would recommend some additional safety features to be built in for user protection. Also saying that this is a powerful table saw might be a little bit of an overstatement. I think this could be useful for making small props and projects using soft woods.Keep it up and good luck in the competition!

I would try the term cutting mat when looking on amazon etc.

Fantastic work Dan!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot mate!

Good idea to get something to hold your piece when doing this with an angle grinder. Vice grips seem like a good option but will require some practice to get a feel for. Good luck and that Makita grinder sounds like a bragain you shouldn't miss.

No didn't really had time yet to test them out since I headed right into the next project. But there is a project down the line that will allow me to test them out.

Thanks a lot! I'd love a CNC and hopefully at some stage will but for now I'll have to use what I got. I've also used flap disks before but I wanted to preserve some of the texture (the rust pitting) and was afraid a flap disk might be too agressive for such thin stock.

Wow that looks super delicious! It's midnight here but I somehow have the urge to head to the kitchen :D

Thanks a lot Vince! How are things going?

Thanks a lot!

Yeah that would be super cool! It would be great if you would post a picture of yours once you are done!

Nicely done! You got my votes for this one!

Hey, I really liked this one! Well written and documented. I made a similar sized knife before to be used in an Altoids tin but using thinner stock to use in a wallet is a great idea. This one went right onto my to do list.You got my vote good luck in the contest!

Wow, that came out great John!

Wow this is so amazing! Well done!

Great idea & instructable!

Wow! Great Instructable, well written and documented!

Very well written and documented! Thanks for sharing!

Very well written and documented! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this looks like a very well documented project!

Well done & interesting project! Quick tip though: You can edit the Instructable to include the information you posted down here in the comments.

Well done and documented! You've got my vote!

Very cool way to create a hidden compartment!

Great project and video as usual!

Great Instructable and video (As usual)!

Great tips! Some I knew before and some were new to me. I've been using those accordion style folder for a while to organize my sandpaper. I have multiple folders for wet sanding, dry metal sanding, wood etc. I recently saw a similar folder that can be hung on the wall for quick access.

Great design and well written & documented Instructable!

Wow this has been a great Instructable! Well written, documented and packed with additional tips and tricks!

Well written and documented Instructable!

Thanks a lot that is very kind of you!

Thanks a lot for sharing! I love to draw & sketch and really get back into it more these days. There was a lot of thing I've learned from this. Maybe you can expand this to be a series of techniques and tips?

Thanks now I'm hungry! That is a recipe to keep in mind for the next bbq!

Great story and project!

I'm no woodworker but I watched the entire video and then read the Instructable because I was interested to see how you managed to batch out such a large order.Great work on both the video and write up! You got my vote!

I really like the finished pattern! This could also work great for knife handles. You got my votes!

I will have to try this out!

Wow, great first Instructable and project! Really well written and the design of the chair is pretty cool too!

Nice idea and so open for people to go crazy with design ideas!

Nice work! Maybe an additional picture with some flies in the tins would be a nice finishing touch ;)

Awesome project! I loved that movie and seeing this detailed work brings back so many memories!

Awesome work! Great write up and video!

I like the recipe idea! The video was quite good too.

Awesome I look forward to see what addons you come up with for your bench!

Awesome project! I really liked to see those different techniques although I'm no woodworker.

I really like this project (and combination workbenches like this in general). It was written and docummented really well.One thing I noticed is that there is no riving knife attached to the saw. Not sure if that saw model doesn't feature one but using the saw without one greatly increases the risk of kickback and accidents. I think that is something you should look into.Have a great time!
