Here is a shooting board for a low angle bench plane and small parts.

Another woody hand-plane I modelled. It will need a bigger shooting board, next.

Here is the Shooting Board to go with the Shooting Plane above.

This is easier to model in SU than it is to make. It is a tool to make tapered tenons for things like bow saw handles, stool legs, or things that need a tapered tenon.

A simple holder to mark legs for leveling when placed on a flat work bench or assembly table.

This is something I was playing around with and probably will never make.

I understand that you can buy round disk cutters at shops that specialize in sewing equipment. Then you could make your own disk style gauge.

I needed to improve the design of my reamer. They don’t have the turning box like in the screenshot. They keep splitting apart at the head of the tapered form. The scraper blade also falls out when I pull it out of the hole I am reaming.
Edit: I put a pin in the Taper Form to hold it in place and updated the scenes.

It looks as if the blade is captured by the Turning Box, perhaps a small pin to hold it in place, similar to the dowel pin holding the tapered dowel. Or just one pin to hold them both.
That wouldn’t hurt anything for sure. The blade extends in the model one half inch into the mortise.
This is an overly optimistic model of what I can mill from a Red Maple log. Especially since I had to split it in half instead of sawing it. Red Maple does’t split like straight grained oak either. If I can get half the number of finished boards that I’ve modeled here, I would be doing good.

This is without the base of the bench. I have to repair/remake the top and chops. I’m orienting the slats lengthwise and reinforcing with slip tenons to keep the slats from coming apart. I really like working with the big chops and the moxon vise at the right
height.

I saw a picture of a bird house like this and decided to model something like it.

I make my own Bow Saw woodwork and use cut outs of an old circular saw blade to make the small metal plates. I made a component of the kerf negative where the metal plate fits. I saw off the long ends of the pins after placing them in the holes. The other parts of the bow saw are not modeled here.

I wanted to practice something I haven’t done for a long time. I made the threads simpler than @DaveR showed me the first time. It’s is just a “V” cut without the flat bottom in the thread.

Here’s a whole set. The Guide and the Quadnut have to be mortised in to the bench. This Wood Screw has 2 Turns Per Inch (TPI).

I refined some things so that the dimensions are right. I’m making it once I mill the parts from my red maple log.
