moving plywood and large sheet goods around is challenging they're heavy and there's no good way
to hold them thankfully you can make moving sheet goods a whole lot easier using a panel carrier
this kreg panel carrier slips over an end or edge of the sheet and has jaws that adjust
automatically to grip the sheet tightly to carry a sheet simply place the panel carrier over the
top edge with your arm locked alongside the body lift with your legs to raise the sheet
you can also use a panel carrier to pull a sheath horizontally like when removing it off the stack
at a home center or out of the truck bed and a panel carrier is great for moving sheets
that are stored against walls or vertically in storage racks you'll find a panel carrier to be a
simple inexpensive solution for the big problem of carrying large sheets let's have a look at a very
cool layout tool bridge city's mt2 multi-tool is a saddle square a sliding t-bevel offers dovetail
layout it's cool stuff now on something like a mortise layout there's no easier way to wrap
lines around two faces than to do that with a saddle square when it comes to market out
dovetails woodworkers commonly like to use either an eight to one or six to one layout proportion
depending on hardwoods or soft ones the mt2 offers both of those for dovetail layout
with the dovetail layout done we can flip back to our saddle square
and strike our lines down the face of that pin and socket board
need to strike a line parallel to an edge well you can use the mt2 as a marking gauge as well
flip it open to a sliding t-bell and use the
v that's there just for this purpose to engage your pencil pull your line
to transfer angles you can take advantage of the sliding t-bevel
setting it to a cut on an existing piece like i'm doing here and then we can transfer that
angle to a table saw or miter saw or wherever you need to take that angle for your next setup
and when you're done this compact tool will easily slip right back in your pocket
craig multipurpose project blocks offer a great way to support hold and work on your projects
anywhere they'll quickly become an essential tool to help you with finishing routing sanding
clamping cutting and creating a project workspace they do this by elevating what you're working on
above your work surface that's a simple idea but multi-purpose project blocks take it to
a higher level with clever features that make them very versatile one of the first features
you'll see is one that makes multi-purpose project blocks truly unique retractable painting points
when you're ready to apply paint or finish simply twist the project block and the point rises up
it's covered in craig's grip max material and the point locks in place a set of four multi-purpose
project blocks can hold up to 200 pounds on the points with the points up you can rest your work
piece up out of the dust and debris on your work surface and you can reach the face and
edges plus you won't have to wait for this face to dry before moving on just flip your piece over and
it will rest on those small points so it won't stick to the project blocks or ruin your finish
that same grip max surface covers both faces of the project blocks too
grip max on one side holds the blocks in place on your work surface so they won't slide around
on the other side grip max holds what you're working on in place that means you can do
things like sand without your work piece moving around and without having to clamp
it in place not only can you sand the face of your projects more easily you can also get to the edges
elevating your work piece while also holding it securely in place also makes it easier to route
edges by providing clearance for the router bit which usually hangs down too far and would hit
the surface below elevating also makes it easier to clamp your work piece since you can get the
clamp head underneath and that's handy whether you're drilling pocket holes assembling your
project and for many other things and if your work surface gets cluttered like they all do
you won't have to search for open space just rise above the mess using multi-purpose project blocks
one feature you might not notice is that multi-purpose project blocks elevate your work
one and a half inches which matches the thickness of a two by four board that's handy for tasks like
cutting down plywood sheets just place a block near each corner to hold the sheet off the ground
and prevent it from moving around then slide a 2x4 underneath to keep the pieces from falling as you
cut that makes cutting sheet goods a whole lot easier that's a lot of cool features in a small
package but there's one more you'll appreciate when you least expect it multi-purpose project
blocks are hex shaped for a reason if you drop one it won't roll away and send you chasing it down
and of course we made multi-purpose project blocks tough enough to hold up to drops and hard use
