Well Casing Pipe Made Into Prybar Holder
Murray Blackstone, Caribou, Maine: "I used pieces of scrap metal to make a ęspark guard' to contain the sparks on my 14-in. chop saw. My shop has wooden walls and I was worried that sparks could cause a fire. The spark guard consists of a 14-in. sq. steel plate that angles toward the saw and mounts on a pair of angle irons. There's a handle on top. Whenever I use the saw I simply set the spark guard in front of it.
  "Another idea I had was to use a 6-in. dia., 2-ft. length of well casing pipe to make a prybar holder. It keeps my prybars organized and makes it easy to find the one I want without having to dig around in toolbox drawers. I welded short lengths of small diameter pipe around the pipe and then welded one end of the pipe to a square steel plate. I keep large prybars in the big pipe and smaller prybars, as well as screwdrivers, in the shorter pipes. I keep it on my work bench."
