New Supporters program launched - free lifetime membership for 324 members

We've just launched our new Supporters program by which people can pay $5/month to subscribe to HomemadeTools.net, and get cool stuff in return, including homemade tool ebooks, tool build guides with collections of resources for building homemade tools, lists of tool builds that include plans, special forum privileges, and more ebooks/build guides/plans added every month.

We've handed out free lifetime membership to 324 forum members, including:

• Anyone with 25 or more posts in the forum.
• Anyone who has submitted 10 or more homemade tools.
• Anyone who has won any forum award (besides the award for making 10 posts).
• Anyone who has received over 50 total Thanks votes on all of their posts combined.

If this is you, you'll notice a new award in your postbit, as well as a new title indicating your status as a Supporting Member. Thank you for supporting this site with your contributions! You can access our new Supporters forum here.

Our new Supporters forum contains something for people at all ability levels who want to build tools. If you're just starting out, I would recommend the Metal Brake Build Guide or the Tube Bender Build Guide. More experienced guys will like the 126 Best Homemade Lathe Accessories eBook, or the U.S. Patent Research Guide, or the 59 Best Homemade Vises eBook. More build guides and ebooks and plans collections will be published every month.

If you have any suggestions as to what you'd like to see for supporters, feel free to post them in the Supporters forum.
