Homemade tools

[Four Paws]

Curious how many of you guys build your own tools - be it for saw work or other? This thread is a place to post up your creations and share your inventions with others.

They say necessity is the mother of invention.

I needed a tool to remove some rubber anti-vibe bushings. I think I could have bought one, but I didn't want to hunt one down and wait for it to arrive in the mail. So, I took an old collet wrench I had laying around and got busy with my 4-1/2" grinder.







Mission accomplished!

Couple clutch tools, flywheel puller and a case splitter. I'm sure there's more if I dig around.

The list is long,a few .Circlip installers ,seal drivers,Stihl flywheel removal tool from a metric hydraulic bango fittings .Removable nylon arbors with a 1" steel shaft to turn down cylinders .Several pin spanner wrenchs for removing odd ball clutchs-----I could fill the page up .

None saw related ,a worm gear wheel on an engine lathe,that was tricky but simple .A power roller to close standing seam roofing .A set of cones to turn front wheel drum brakes.A double cutter to cut disc brakes ..I'll stop there before somebody gets the idea I'm boasting

For when my saw gets pinched, AND for driving wedges. It is now perfectly balanced.

My flywheel puller and case splitter are homemade.

I use to cut the chamber with a piston with a homemade cutter bolted to the top.
Worked good too.

Any chance you'd make another chain vise?

I need to hit Treemonkey up about his bench saw vise deal. I need one.

I love all of it. I'm a fan of make it yourself.

I'm a poor person and I'll build every tool I can and I like seeing you guys do the same.

Agreed. I'm poor and cheap. I'll be damned if I'd pay 100 bucks or even 10 for something that I can bang out in a hour.
