Nice Dave.
I really like the elegance of the compass bar. I always make up throw aways when I need one but that’s just a pretty tool to have around.
The second “center finder” is a lot like the jig for drawing the lines on a tapered square (mast blank) to shape it down into a tapered octagon.

I like the coffe cup box the best. Keep the coffee clean and dust free…... I second the center finders. Great job on all.

nice additions to any shop. I like the center finder with the 1/3 and 1/4 markings on it as well.

topamaxsurvivor, the last one is a manual straight line sander! autobody guys use these a lot (or at least the pneumatic version) and I have learned to make use of them.
