I am trying to bring you as many as the Fathers Day sales as I can this year and Bosch is rolling out all kinds of deals. I posted the deal on an 18V Bosch drill with 4 batteries for only $99, and now I see that RotoZip (owned by Bosch) also has a pretty good sale going on.

From May 15, 2012 through to June 23, 2012 you can get $10 off of a $50-$99 order of select RotoZip tools and accessories. If your order is $100 or more, you can get $20 off of select RotoZip tools and accessories. For you non math wizards, this is a savings of 20%. A quick look on Amazon shows that quite a few RotoZip products qualify for this special offer, including the ZipSaw and a few Spiral Saw kits. Note that in the case of Amazon, the savings will be applied during check out.

Pipe clamp kits are a great way for people to make pipe clamps that they can customize to fit their own specific needs. The user just buys the size pipe they need, and they can put together a clamp in no time. Lee Valley has a new product that takes the same idea and applies it to a workbench vise.

I was going to take a lazy day today, because it is my birthday, and not post an article, but I came across these videos over the weekend of Matthias over at WoodGears building a cool new router copy contraption and thought I would share them. His latest machine accepts a small trim router and allows the user to use a follower to duplicate an object into wood. In his first example Matthias was able to copy a wrench and get some pretty good detail.

If you want more information, be sure to watch the videos below and visit Woodgears, where you can also buy building plans for the Router Copy Carver.

Is it strange to see people moving away from the use of toolbelts on the jobsite? I know some older workers that would not even think of such a thing. But why stick with the same thing, when now, there are so many more options to choose from. The new Occidental Leather 2650 Get To Work Vest is just one more example.
