50 best homemade tools ebook - Mayhem - 07-04-2013
Not a project of mine but a collection of projects by others.
Some time back I signed up to the www.homemadetools.net newsletter. Today they sent me an email with a link to their 50 best homemade tools ebook. I figured some of you guys would be interested in this.

I didn't make the list at all.
By the way, that ebook doesn't have the plans in it for the projects. It has a picture of each project and a short description. You have to click on the title of the project and it will take you to the actual project on the web site. The book doesn't say anything about clicking on the project title to get access to the actual project.

I have been repeatedly disappointed with homemadetools.net . Lots of the "tools" aren't really tools but Mickey Mouse workarounds.
The only stuff interesting to me were postings by aametalmaster And what the hey! we have Bob right here in our clutches.

Never made the top 50 either but don't think there was a prize if you did.

Interesting to open the site and find that 5 of my projects, were listed (under my platypus20 name). Today was the first I had ever heard of the site.
RE: 50 best homemade tools ebook - EdK - 07-04-2013
Hmmm, I assumed the owner would have gotten permission from the originators of the projects to post them on their web site. It appears that is not the case. Seems a bit unethical to me.

Sorta fits with my assessment Ed.

I assumed all those projects were specifically submitted to that site by the authors. I just glanced through a few of the pictures. I didn't know you had to click on them to get the whole story.
