Hi Everyone

Hi just joined the site

I found a youtube video of someone making low profile clamps and he said he got the idea from this site
so I thought I better check it out and see what other usefull items I can find here

Hi DonRecardo - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

What's next up on your projects list? Anything we can help with?

Hi Jon

Thanks for the welcome .
Right now I am making the low profile clamps as shown buy Randy Richard on Youtube .
He was kind enough to send me the drawings and I have just been changing them a little as my mill has smaller slots than his and wouldnt fit using his dimensions . I am making one with not too much finese just to make sure every thing fits together using my new sizes . If all is well I will then try to make a set of 4 or 8 hopefully with a bit more care and finish than this prototype

Don

Very nice, sounds like a good plan. Keep us posted, with pics too please. :)

Hi , Well I had a go at making the prototype and it came out ok
It even works as it should which is always helpfull

Seeing as I was on a roll ( well I had not broken anything yet )
I tried making one of Randy Richards Dovetail Cutters
It came out a treat but as it uses a 16mm indexable insert its 32mm diameter
and the dovetails in my QCTP Tool Holder are smaller than that so, I made more cutters to take
11mm and 9mm inserts so here is , "Daddy" , "Mommy" , and "Baby Dovetail"

and just to prove they work I made a spare holder for my QCTP

Last night I found Harold Halls web site and there are so many things to make , I dont
know where to start
