Spray-Gun Holder from Plumbing Parts
Jul 27, 2007
When setting up a new high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) finishing system, I realized that the spray gun would be difficult to set down because the hose is large and causes the sprayer to tip. Knowing that I might have to set the gun down several times while spraying, I needed a holder of some kind.
To make one, I slid a 4-in. PVC pipe coupling onto a 4-in. PVC toilet flange, then I screwed the flange to a board. Now I move the board anyplace I’m working and clamp it in place. It works great.

Hedgehog featherboards
The Hedgehog's unique spiral shape and single knob make it easy to set up and fast to adjust.
Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
