It sure is fun making your own jigs and accessories. My favorite is my bandsaw crosscut jig. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/_IOqb28jnIM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to make this clamp, although instead of the bicycle tube I'm going to use heat shrink tubing to slip over the end and heat up. I might need 2 or 3 on top of each other to get the effect I'm looking for. Thanks again!
It is a really cool gaget that has 3 magnets on each side to hold it in place. It is made out of a soft plastic or rubber and has cut outs where you can hold dowels, bolts, etc at different angles an horizontal. It is great for apllications where you want to cut wood, brass or copper and have no scratches.

Ummm why didn't you just drill out the inside hole of the washer or use an angle grinder to remove the extra metal instead of filing for half an hour ??
I'm late to the party, and a woodsmith but i love this. I just picked up my first drill press and love making jigs. 😊

Great idea! Good luck, let me know how it turns out.
Thanks for sharing this great idea George. Much appreciated. Why buy it when you can make it with bits and bobs that are kicking around the workshop?
I agree. Thanks for the comment, and have a great holiday season.
Good idea!
Glad you think so! Have a great day!
What is the thing that you are using to hold the screw when filing

I don't own a reliable angle grinder and I never thought of drilling out the washer. Also, sometimes I just like using my hand file.
