As promised in this post I will explain what I used to make my own automatic Finger-Box Joint for my BOSCH PTS 10 table saw but it can be also used on all other table saws with the due modifications. Please note that this page is still under construction as I will update this article…

Ready to shoot with my iPhone
Now that I almost finished my last Arduino project, the smart finger jointer, it’s time for me to show you with a short video, that my machine really works. Unfortunately I don’t have an iPhone stand but some time ago a started designing and making a stand for my iPad. Since the quality of the…
Shop Dust Collection System
I finally had some time to do this simple project: a dust collection line with two blast gates in order to connect my shopvac to all the machines I’ve got. This is how it works: The shop vac connects to the first blast gate into the orange connector Then you can decide to either use…
Automatic Finger Jointer Debug
Today I had again to go through code bugs: Sometimes the motor screams without moving; For some long displacement I don’t get the displacement set; Let’s see how I found the errors. Sometimes the motor screams but doesn’t move and I found out after several checks that this was due to its stalling because I…
Arduino Smart Finger Jointer
Today is a bug hunting day. First of all I realized that for some reason the displacement wasn’t right: for a given 5 millimeters displacement from the code I had 3.8 mills on the gantry. I am not sure of the reason but I believe it could be related to the pitch of the threaded…
Smart Finger Joint
Some time ago I would have said to be lucky to have time to spend in my garage. Sadly this is not the case as this corona virus has locked down us all and caused a lot of deaths already. Many people will loose their jobs, but hopefully everything will be fixed some day. My…
BOSCH PTS10 Dust Extractor
! WARNING ! This is a DIY project made for my own purposes and its usage is AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you guys own a PTS10 like me, you surely well know its weak ability to extract and collect saw dust.. It doesn’t matter if you use a shopvac connected on its back or…
Makita – Festool TRACKSAW DEFLECTOR
This time I didn’t have the time to design it myself and I decided to find one ready to print on thingiverse and, after some search I found this one: Festool Deflector FS-AW. The print took me about 4 hours and went just great, but.. unfortunately probably because I use a Makita track saw the…
iPad ball joint holder for time lapses
I wanted to experiment a little bit with the time lapse app that I just bought on the AppStore for 3.49€: Skyflow (I just wrote an article about this app). I am not sure if time lapses are the right solution but my aim is to try to get a video of my long 3D…
Jig for Drilling Shelf Pin Holes
There are some commercial product to perform this task but I was wondering if could make my own spending less money. Searching on the web I found this interesting and simple jig from Wood Worker Web, here is the link. Please like that video and subscribe to his channel, this guy is my today hero….
