Clever woodworking ideas and more viewer videos
Scrap 1 x 6 for the base. 2 x 3 cut to about 3 1/2 ". Small slot carved out to fit the Kreg jig. I used the kreg Jr and removed the grey sliding guides. The 2 x 3s were placed apart slightly wider than the jig itself. Screwed and glued. Cut out a small place on the base under the jig for it to slide down far enough to use the 1/2 setting. I used a piece of all thread with a knob, and glued in a nut on the opposite side. When tightened it squeezes the 2 x 3 slightly together holding the jig in place.

Ed Boyle came up with this ingenious solution for a paper towel holder by cutting off the lid and threaded part of a plastic water bottle.

Another great kitchen idea. When Ray Levesque saw how much under the counter cookbook holders cost, he made his own. The biggest challenge was devising a method of keeping it in the closed position. A simple hook was the simple solution.

Warren Downes checks in with a kitchen project that just about every kitchen needs, a spice rack. In my kitchen, it gets used every day. Having the spices easy to find and grab make cooking much easier than digging through deep pantry shelves to find the right jar.

Heres Darryl Murrays first table project. And its a big one. I love these party tables...the cutouts in the middle are ice containers.

Finally, I want to show off Michael Paulys quilt rack based on one I made last year. He did a great job. Thats a pretty challenging project!
