Preview of SMD cut-tape strip feeder
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Feed SMD parts from cut tape during assembly
Lay short strips of 8 mm component tape in the nine lanes and peel the cover back: resistors and capacitors stay in their pockets, in order and labelled, while tweezers reach over the low front wall. Hand assembly of a board goes lane by lane without spilling a single 0805.

Preview of Stripboard track cutter handle
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Cut copper tracks on stripboard
Push a 6 mm drill bit shank first into the socket and the handle turns it into a track cutter: set the point in a stripboard hole and twist, and the copper track is cut cleanly through without a drill or a craft knife lifting the copper.

Preview of Paracord bracelet jig
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Tie paracord bracelets to an exact length
Push two pencils through the double plate: one at the fixed end, one at 6, 7 or 8 inches. Clip the buckle halves over them and the cord stays taut while you tie cobra knots, so every bracelet comes out the same length and tension.

Preview of Bow-drill palm block with ball-race socket
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Cut friction at the top of a bow drill
The palm block of a bow drill, with a cup that takes a 608 skateboard bearing: the spindle top runs in the bearing instead of grinding in a wooden socket, so all your effort goes into the fire end and the ember comes in a fraction of the time.

Preview of Rear dropout chain keeper
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Keep the chain tensioned with the rear wheel out
Clamp it in the rear dropouts with the quick-release skewer when the wheel is out: the chain sits on the 42 mm toothed drum, stays tensioned and can be cleaned and lubed with the pedals turning, and the frame never gets chain slap during transport.

Preview of Speedlight honeycomb grid with sleeve
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Narrow a speedlight beam into a spot
Slide the 30 mm sleeve over a speedlight head and the 34 mm deep egg-crate cells turn its wide spray into a tight pool of light with soft edges: a hair light, a background spot or a moody portrait light, for the price of a few metres of filament.

Preview of Wax-tuned pentatonic pan flute
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Play and tune a pentatonic pan flute
Eight closed pipes 100 mm deep, labelled A5 to D7: tune each one with a tuner app by dropping in beeswax or Blu Tack until the note is true, just as Andean makers tune with wax. The rounded rims are kind to the lips and every pipe is re-tunable.

Preview of Drum practice pad base
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Practise drumming quietly
Glue a 6 mm gum-rubber or neoprene disc into the 4 mm recess and you have a quiet, bouncy practice pad: the eight-spoke body stays rigid under rimshots and the grip feet hold it on a table, a knee or a snare stand basket.

Preview of Filter intake baby-shrimp guard
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced
MAIN PURPOSE: Stop baby shrimp being sucked into a filter
Slide the slotted sleeve over a 16 mm filter intake: the fine slots on all four sides still let water through freely, but baby shrimp and fry can no longer be sucked into the filter. Cleans with a shake under the tap.

Preview of Cherry tomato halving trays
By Krypto
Complexity
Advanced (set)
MAIN PURPOSE: Halve a batch of cherry tomatoes in one cut
Fill one tray with 16 cherry tomatoes or grapes, lay the second tray upside down on top and press it flat with your palm: the shallow 7 mm cells hold every tomato at the same height, so one pass of a long serrated knife through the gap halves the lot without a single one rolling away. Print two.
