Found some great old teak and scraps of marine-grade plywood in the dumpster at my Marina so I built this drink holder for my sailboat. It fits in the companionway once the doorway boards are removed. Holes hold beverages with coozies. Works great and haven’t spilled a drink since.

Festool Cleantec CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor
The clear winner here is Festool’s CT 48 Dust Extractor. It has amazing capacity relative to its size, and unmatched suction power. It packs in a number of subtle but very helpful design touches, like a clever foot brake and easy hose and cord storage.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Makita XTR01Z 18V LXT
Power: Excellent Cut visibility: Excellent Control: Good (with standard fixed base) Bit changes: Excellent Depth adjustment: Fair
iGaging Wheel Marking Gauge
Unlike the other inexpensive disk gauges, this one has an O-ring inside the fence. The disk would benefit from some honing, but works as is.
CrushGrind Pepper Mill Mechanism
Matt Monaco designs his pepper mills to accept the CrushGrind mill mechanism, which he likes because it doesn’t require drilling through the top of the mill’s cap and having hardware exposed on top.
