Introduction

Owners of home workshops can no doubt be divided into two groups when it comes to making workshop equipment. For some, typically a model engineer involved in constructing a locomotive, making an item of workshop equipment will be a temporary diversion from the main project in hand. Others, like myself, making workshop tooling is almost the sole activity undertaken. In this case many of the projects will be quite substantial, a rotary table, a dividing head, even larger a gear hobbing machine or tool and cutter grinder. These in many cases will get limited use, but will be put on the shelf and looked at with pride saying, I made that!

The Items in this book most certainly do not fall into the I made that! category. They are though, likely to be hidden in a box somewhere, but brought out frequently to make the task in hand easier than it would have been had they not been made. An important factor in this respect is that most are items that cannot be purchased commercially so making them is the only option should you wish to benefit from having such a device in the workshop. Having made those comments there is though no reason why a reader should not gain satisfaction from completing any of the items throughout the book.

While predominantly tooling, some fall into a more general group, an auxiliary work bench for example and all can be made in a few hours, some much less, and will repay the time taken many times over.

The contents of this book are all items that I have provided for publication in the Model Engineers Workshop magazine but unlike most of my published work this book does not go deeply into the methods of manufacture, being more of an ideas book. However, should you like a little more guidance on making the tools featured in this book and have access to past copies of MEW then you could look up the issues in which the items appeared. This book is though a complete rewrite with new photographs and drawings (also having modifications). The original work should therefore only be used as a guide to the manufacturing techniques.

Auxiliary Bench

This is the simplest of all the items included and without doubt the one that has repaid my time making it by more times over than any other. It is an auxiliary workbench and took me around minutes to make. I did though have a suitable size piece of ply available for the top, but even if you have to cut the top to size hour should be more than enough.

The bench was initially conceived for holding pieces of sheet steel for cutting using a jig saw, nibbler, etc. This was something I found difficult using my normal bench with it having only one edge available, resulting in clamps and saw wanting to share the same position. The bench, Photo 1, is about 450mm square and has a 75mm 50mm piece of timber screwed onto the under side which is gripped in the bench vise. Photo 2, shows it being used for it original purpose.

I soon realized that in its elevated position it was also of considerable benefit when marking out, similarly, carrying out delicate assembly work, electronic or mechanical. If you have a small workshop with only limited bench space it will be a worthwhile addition if only to increase your working space, maybe larger may not be a bad idea.

If a long bolt is added to the timber bar this can be gripped in the bench vise and the top tilted to make a small drawing board, Photo

File storage

While in a woodworking theme, the method of storing files on the rear of a cupboard door, Photo 4, is worth considering. It keeps them in the same place all the time so they are easily found and by keeping them apart protects their working faces. Sketch shows the construction in detail. If mounted on a wall rather than on the rear of a door then the lower half could possibly be omitted.

Chuck boards

These were the result of a request from a workshop owner who was beginning to find it difficult to move his lathe chucks to and from the lathe. Additionally, aligning them with the lathes mandrel.

Photo shows two boards, one for the three jaw and one for the four jaw. These are used on a gap bed lathe and the piece of wood in front is for placing in the gap to prevent the board tipping with the weight of the chuck. Note how the carrying handles pass in front and behind the chuck ensuring they are secure when being carried.

Photo Used tilted it makes a small drawing board for use in the workshop.
