Self-centring dowelling jig for 18 mm board

MAIN PURPOSE: Drill centred dowel holes in board edges

Drop the jig over the edge of 18 mm board: the two fences straddle it, so the guide holes sit dead centre on the edge, 32 mm apart, and the double guide plates keep an 8 mm bit square. Drill both parts from their face side and the dowels line up every time. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.

Hand tap square-start guide

MAIN PURPOSE: Start hand taps square to the work

Clamp or hold the block over a drilled hole and start the tap through the matching guide: two plates 30 mm apart keep an M3, M4, M5 or M6 tap square to the work for the first turns, the moment where most crooked threads and snapped taps happen.

Threaded rod cutting guide

MAIN PURPOSE: Cut threaded rod square without damaging threads

Run a nut onto M6, M8 or M10 threaded rod, push the rod down through the guide to your mark and saw along the slot between the two plates: the cut comes out square and the thread is supported right up to the blade, and backing the nut off over the end re-forms the first thread.

Square-head bench dogs

MAIN PURPOSE: Fence and square work on a dog-hole bench

A 19 mm peg for 20 mm dog holes with a square head whose four flat faces each sit exactly 20 mm from the peg centre: two dogs make a fence parallel to the hole grid, three make a square corner, and the flat faces spread the pressure instead of denting edges like round dogs.

Plasterboard foot lifter

MAIN PURPOSE: Lift wall sheets into place with your foot

Slide the thin toe under a sheet of plasterboard or panelling and step on the back of the lever: the round fulcrum lifts the sheet about 20 mm and holds it tight against the one above while both hands are free to drive the screws.

608 bearing press-in driver

MAIN PURPOSE: Press bearings in without damaging them

Presses a 608 skateboard bearing into a hub or housing by its outer race only: the narrow 1.5 mm rim bears on the race while the 19 mm opening clears the shield and inner race. Tap the solid end with a mallet and the bearing goes in square without brinelling its balls.

Paint tin rim wiper clip

MAIN PURPOSE: Wipe brushes without filling the lid groove

Clip it onto the rim of a paint tin: you wipe the brush on the arm, which hangs inside the tin, so the excess runs back into the paint instead of filling the lid groove. The lid then seals properly and no dried paint flakes fall in when you open it next time.

Profile sanding block

MAIN PURPOSE: Sand mouldings without rounding their profiles

One block with three working edges: a half-round bead for coves and flutes, a concave cove for round-overs and dowels, and a sharp 90 degree point for inside corners. Wrap a strip of sandpaper round the edge you need and the profile stays crisp instead of being rounded over by your fingers.

Cut-in edge shield

MAIN PURPOSE: Paint straight edges without masking tape

Hold the 220 mm straight edge against a ceiling line, skirting or window frame and paint right up to it: the shield keeps the brush off the next surface, faster than taping, and its handle keeps your knuckles out of the paint. Wipe the edge clean as you move along.

Knife-edge spray turntable

MAIN PURPOSE: Spray parts all round without touching them

Parts sit on eight thin ribs instead of a flat floor, so overspray never glues them down and their undersides stay clean; the base spins on BBs, so you turn the part while spraying instead of walking round it.
