Tool Plans
"FREE PLANS"
Soon I will be producing these tools for sale on the Internet. However, I'm very concerned about the safety of my readers. So I'm offering the plans to these tools, in a .pdf format, free of charge so you can make your own. You have my permission to make 1 copy of each for your personal use. Educators, If you feel you could use more than 1 for your class/lab then e-mail me and tell me about your situation. No commercial use please.
"A Finger is a terrible thing to waste!"
If you build your own use a very hard wood like Oak or Maple. Otherwise the magnets will tear them apart in short order. The hardware I use is solid brass toilet bowl bolts (Fluidmaster 7110 and 7111 or equal). I use polyurethane to seal the wood for longevity.
