    Tool Making Brushes and dryer tube clean outs.

    The self propelled air cleaning tip for dryer vent does exist. Just came across a video showing one in action. The dryer must be turn on at the same time he uses the cleaning tip. It seems to work quite well, the guy runs a business with that tool.

    Machine Upgrading a smaller metal band saw

    I stumbled on the same video a few month ago and really like it. Made the large and small table. Love it and to switch over the table top is a breeze now. I didn't make the outboard table yet, because, I had previously made a quick and dirty solution for that. I drilled and tap 1/4''-20 on...
