    From Scrap to Tool | DIY Hand Tapping Tool

    I turned an old scrap drill stand into a DIY hand tapping tool.
    Hand tapping without a guide is hard to keep straight and easy to break taps.
    So I decided to build a simple tool using scrap metal and used taps from the scrap yard.
    Sometimes scrap metal is not junk — it’s just unused potential.
    Watch till the end to see the result.
