I am continually impressed with the precision of the glowforge, and how it allows me to solve problems in my shop without having to buy a commercial tool. Not only that, but it has allowed me to start selling my own tools in a Etsy store that other people are using. My only wish it that we could get bulk acrylic discounts now.
Here are a few tools I’ve made. There is a corner hole drilling jig, router plate for a router table, and some parallel guides for use with my track saw.
I think that would be the optimal material, but acrylic would function. Really cool practical application. Particularly the ability to include your logo.
Hmm… I hadn’t even thought of making things with scales on them. duh. nice work!
I did make a pattern to correctly size the new posts for my security fence. turns out the cross pieces on the “current” fence sections, are 1/16" narrower than the cross pieces on my old fence. GRRR so I have to take that much off with a burr grinder.
OK every one, Torg is very wealthy - he has a Festool track saw! Nice guides you are making & I love the logo you put on them. I love my Glowforge for making tedious little things like router templates. Super accurate and fast.
Haha! I gotta say. I just bought it recently for a project and I’m very impressed. I was not sure the cost to happiness ratio was going to be there. But it is great.
I was taking a shot in the dark there but I was pretty sure that was Festool green. I sometimes go to my local exotic wood supplier and drool on the display of Festools that he has. I appreciate very nice tools and have always been drawn to their stuff. I have a Fein cordless drill that I will not part with, so I get it. Most of my stuff is Makita, which is great too.
I haven’t had mine out of its storage box in years. I did set it up so it’s all dialed in but I keep forgetting about it & grab a Ryobi battery saw with a clamping track instead. The freedom from a cord is super.
I figure the track saw will end up going to one of my kids nearly unused
