Non-standard situations require correspondingly cunning solutions. Let's look at 7 cool ideas for the home craftsman. Each of them works 100% and will definitely be useful.
1. Hammering nails with a clamp
If you need to drive a nail in a hard-to-reach place where it is impossible to swing a hammer, you should use a clamp. With its help, it is pressed into the workpiece.
2. Protecting the workplace from glue
When gluing parts, glue often leaks onto the workbench. To avoid staining the tabletop, you can stick masking tape strip to strip on it.
After finishing the work, the tape is torn off, leaving a clean, unstained surface underneath.
3. Even cutting with a jigsaw along a simple guide
Often, most people only have a jigsaw as a tool for working with wood. It is very convenient, but, unfortunately, it does not allow you to make even cuts like a circular saw. Using a trick with the guide, you can use it to cut straight. To do this, place the piece to be cut on the table, press the guide on top, and screw it to the tabletop with self-tapping screws.
The guide is aligned relative to the pressed part so that the jigsaw blade is positioned strictly above the cutting line. At the same time, it should not touch the tabletop from below. We cut this field, resting the sole of the tool against the guide, and as a result we get a straight cut, like on a machine.
4. Drill without clogging the drill with chips
When drilling metal, the chips are magnetized to the drill. To keep it clean, you need to attach a magnet to the side. All the chips will stick to it.

5. Grinding the edge of large holes
If you need to polish the edge of a large hole, then you should twist a tube of the required radius from a magazine. Sandpaper is applied to it and sanding is performed.
6. Knife for quick cutting of sandpaper
To quickly cut sandpaper into even pieces, you can screw a regular hacksaw blade to the edge of the work table with self-tapping screws.
It is required that its cutting edge protrudes slightly above the tabletop. Then we apply the paper, pull its edge and pull it down, resting against the canvas. Eventually it will cut open. You can cut the tape in the same way.
7. Simple blade holder
The blade of the mounting knife can be clamped in the holder from the door hinge.
We just put it between the plates and tighten it with a bolt. This creates a reliable handle from which the blade will not fall out.
