Routing fence? Shooting board? Not a clue?

The photo below should provide the answer...
Btw, this is bloody lethal work as you can't really use the blade guard.

Truss rod 'tool'...
Why bother if you can buy one for $20?
5mm threaded rod, 4mm drill bit, 5mm coupling nut, bit of soft steel, 5mm tapper, blue shrink wrap...
Makes a $5 truss rod (discounting sourcing materials and labour)

and you just reminded me that, when I have cash, I must get a table saw. Having just spent stupid amounts of time making a window frame using a router and hand saw after my rusty black and decker circular saw broke 
would have been so much quicker....

I have an old sixties Tanner that I did up. Make sure you get one with a true straight edge/arm running along blade so you can use it as a poor man's thicknesserBg wrote:and you just reminded me that, when I have cash, I must get a table saw.

Again, why buy from Stewmac if you can make it yourself?
Made another 'quick and dirty' tool today. Works really well.
Guess what I can make with this?
(Hint - the bit with the crossbar shown in the bottom left corner slides in and out so to speak; Crossbar superglued for now, needs proper fixing with screws)
