Flat Pack Cup Holder Scroll Saw Pattern.


Flat pack cup holders. Two sizes for different size cups are included in the pattern. Assemble the handle and use the storage box for your coaster. 
If you stop on your way to work for that morning coffee you might want to keep one of these handles in you car. They might come in handy if you kept a set in your picnic basket.


DIY Magnetic Sweep:

This is a ten minutes project that comes in handy all the time. I took a 36" X 5/8" dowel, a small block of wood and two rectangle ceramic magnets and constructed a magnetic sweep.

I used a 5/8" fostner bit and drilled into the block of wood at a slight angle. I epoxied the dowel into the hole I drilled. I then epoxied the two magnets to the bottom of the wood block and I had my magnetic sweep. 

I don't like to get metal into my shop vac so I always try to pick up the spent scroll saw blades and any other loose metal like screws before I vacuum. The older I get the less fun it is to bend over and pick up small pieces. Not to mention just seeing them to begin with. 

This little magnetic sweep keeps my floor clean and my back happy.
