Hose-Clamp Lathe Chuck
Oct 25, 2005
This lathe chuck uses an inexpensive worm-gear radiator-hose clamp to tighten the collar around the work. Four saw kerfs provide the flexibility needed for loosening and tightening the chuck.

Estwing Dead-Blow Mallet
A quality dead-blow mallet that packs and punch but isn't too heavy for furniture work.
Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
CrushGrind Pepper Mill Mechanism
Matt Monaco designs his pepper mills to accept the CrushGrind mill mechanism, which he likes because it doesn’t require drilling through the top of the mill’s cap and having hardware exposed on top.
