Drill press coolant pump

Using a couple of buckets, a fountain pump, some tubing, and a gorillapod leg I built a coolant pump to shoot water on my drill bit and the glass bottles im cutting into.

Fishing line fix

Simply hot glue paper clip to fishing line wheel, as an easy way to tie it off and keep it from unwinding while in transport or storage

reupholstering stuff

Someone gave me this funky little tripod chair and I added a foam pad for back support and fastened fabric over the top.
I picked this couch up off the side of the road and reupholstered all of the parts that i couldn't take off and wash

alligator clip/ test wire storage

If youve ever owned more than a few test wires you might have come across the problem of them getting all tangled up.

 
This is a simple fix for the problem. All you need to do is fix two nails on opposite sides of a short board and string fishing line between the two. This does a good job of keeping them from getting too tangled up

easy long reach precision glue applicator

Just hot glue a long thin tube or straw into a shampoo bottle and fill with whatever glue you are using. it is good for gluing the inside edges of small boxes ie: a tissue box

Booze lamps

 
 I work as a bartender on the weekends, and I save all of the bottles and make lamps out of them

Magnetic tool storage

 
I went to a thrift store where nearly everything was on sale for a dollar so i bought a bunch of speakers
I took out all of the magnets and jb welded them to 1x4s

 once dried they are a great tool rack that can be fastened to any wall or toolbox
