Able Bolt Guide
Russell Flock, Able Farm Products, Box 42, Maywood, Neb. 69038 (ph 308 362-4869): Anyone who's ever ruined the threads on a bolt when driving through a hole with a hammer, will appreciate the simple idea that Flock came up with to prevent the problem.
  The Able Bolt Guide is a point that screws onto the end of larger bolts so you can drive them through a hole with no damage, then remove the point and screw on a bolt. The threads at the end of the bolt will not be distorted in any way.
  Available to fit bolts starting at 5/8- in. diameter.
  Bill Short, Hamilton, Mo.: Here's an idea for an adjustable-height stand for bench tools like grinders. "Most stands are too low and you can't adjust for different operators. I made this one from scratch using a 22-in. dia. disc blade and a couple pieces of pipe, one of which fits inside the other. The lower pipe welds to the disc. The upper piece welds to a flat steel plate with handles on either side to make it easy to move. A bolt goes through the pipes to adjust height. It's easy to adjust and makes you a lot more productive."
